Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This project evaluates the effects of a tailored exercise program on patients suffering from Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS) following mild traumatic brain injury. It consists of four parts: understanding patient experiences through interviews, assessing the impact of a 12-week aerobic exercise program on physical capacity, measuring neurobiological changes via MRI, and conducting a comprehensive evaluation involving both patients and researchers. The study aims to enhance physical capacity and provide insights into the neurobiological underpinnings of PCS.
