While most young people recover well after a head injury, some endure lasting impairments and difficulties. At the moment, we do not understand why this happens.
This study, conducted by the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences here in Oxford, aims to help predict how well a child will recover, and identify those who may need support earlier. To do this, we need healthy volunteers for comparison. We are looking for 11–18-year-olds, via their parents, who are actively involved in sport and have not had a previous head injury.
