A remotely delivered intervention targeting adults with persisting mild-to-moderate post-concussion symptoms (GAIN Lite): a study protocol for a parallel group randomised trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Worldwide, mild traumatic brain injury, synonymous with concussion, affects more than 30-50 million each year. The incidence of concussion in Denmark is estimated to be about 20,000 yearly. Although complete resolution normally occurs within a few weeks, up to a third develop persistent post-concussion symptoms (PPCS) beyond 3 months. Evidence for effective treatment strategies is scarce. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the novel intervention GAIN Lite added to enhanced usual care (EUC) for adults with mild-to-moderate PPCS compared to EUC only.

Methods

An open-label, parallel-group, two-arm randomised controlled superiority trial (RCT) with 1:1 allocation ratio. Potential participants will be identified through the hospital's Business I
