Phase N/A

This study looks at how chiropractic care affects people with post-concussion syndrome (PCS). PCS is when symptoms like headaches or dizziness continue after a concussion. Ten individuals will receive chiropractic care for 6 weeks. Participants will be assessed at the start, middle, and end of the study, using special equipment to measure their heart and brain activity, and how they walk. They will wear an EEG cap to track brain signals, and ECG and ICG sensors to check their heart. ECG measures heartbeats, while ICG checks how blood flows in the body. EDA sensors will track skin response. Participants need to be at least 18, have PCS symptoms for over 3 months, and be comfortable with sensors and walking on a treadmill. They must not have serious mental disorders, high blood pressure, or be pregnant. Each assessment lasts about 2.5 to 3 hours. The study will help understand if chiropractic care can improve PCS symptoms.

  • 6-week study with 3 visits lasting 2.5-3 hours each.
  • Participants wear sensors to track brain and heart activity.
  • Must be 18+, have PCS symptoms, and no recent chiropractic care.
