Using 7 Tesla MRI to Diagnose Post-Concussion Syndrome in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Patients

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 study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of 7 Tesla MRI in detecting diffuse axonal lesions in patients who have experienced mild traumatic brain injury and are presenting with post-concussion syndrome. Conducted at Poitiers University Hospital, the study will involve patients who are admitted for mild head trauma and will assess their condition seven days post-injury. The goal is to determine if this advanced imaging technique can improve diagnostic accuracy compared to standard methods. By identifying these lesions, the study seeks to better understand the relationship between brain injuries and persistent post-concussion symptoms.
