The TRANSCENDENT Concussion Research Program is dedicated to improving concussion research, diagnosis, management, and care.
The TRANSCENDENT team reunited at the Cross-IDP Conference last week in Toronto! We learned from other IDPs about the power of clinical trials, team science & the importance of community engagement. Thank you to the Ontario Brain Institute for fostering a space of collaboration & learning🧠🔬🧬👏

New Publication Alert from our team!
In 2023, the ACRM updated how concussions (also called mild traumatic brain injuries) are diagnosed. These new criteria look at how the injury happened, what signs and symptoms are present, and the results of medical tests.

Interested in our sub-studies? Next up, we are looking 👀 into vision and pupillometry tests. These are quick, non-invasive tests that measures how your eyes move and how your pupils respond to light, which can help detect brain changes after a concussion. 👁️

Our sub-study, exercise tolerance🚴‍♀️ This can be tested in athletes & non-athletes w/ a concussion. By riding a stationary bike, we can track heart rate & blood pressure and see how much activity can be tolerated before symptoms worsen. This helps guide a safe return to activity🏆
