What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial evaluates how dietary and nutritional interventions can affect the recovery of patients experiencing persistent post-concussive symptoms. Participants will be divided into three groups: one receiving dietary treatments and nutritional supplements, another receiving only nutritional supplements, and a control group receiving physiotherapy treatments. The study aims to assess changes in physical, cognitive, behavioral, and emotional symptoms over time. Conducted in New Brunswick, Canada, this trial seeks to explore a novel approach to concussion management through nutrition.
