mTBI-PREDICT recruitment

Wed 18 Jun 2025

Researchers are looking for people with a recent mTBI/concussion to take part in mTBI-Predict,a long-term study that aims to identify biomarkers after a head injury.

Advert shared on behalf of researchers at mTBI-Predict (Nottingham Trent University, University of Birmingham).

What is mTBI-Predict?

mTBI-Predict is a long-term study that aims to identify the most accurate way of predicting how long it will take civilian, military personnel, or sportspeople to get back to normal work, duty, or play after a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). 

Also referred to as concussion, mTBI can result in long-term disability due to persistent headaches, imbalance, memory disturbance, and poor mental health, and around 30% of people with mTBI have not returned to work or sport at 12 months. We cannot yet identify those patients most at risk of these disabling consequences. This is a clear unmet need which would allow targeting of treatments to improve patient outcomes.

To meet this need, we aim to test key biomarkers, measurable characteristics of the body, which will allow identification of mTBI patients at risk of long-term health issues. Biomarkers need to be accurate, reproducible and practical to use in a clinical setting.

Who can get involved?

We are recruiting adults aged between 18 and 60 with an mTBI, or concussion, within the last 3 months on an ongoing basis.

As this study is based at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, do consider travel capacity for up to two full day visits.
