Telehealth concussion treatment for rural and regional Australians
What are we offering?
We are trialling approaches to treating persisting symptoms after concussion, free of charge in the study: Interdisciplinary Rehabilitation for Concussion Recovery via Telehealth (i-RECOveR-TH). Persisting symptoms after concussion can include fatigue, sleep issues, feeling forgetful, and feeling anxious or stressed. In this study, telehealth refers to a video call.
You will be randomly allocated to receive either:
A telehealth assessment with a neuropsychologist and physiotherapist, followed by an 8-12 week program involving treatment with a neuropsychologist,
physiotherapist and doctor,
OR
A telehealth assessment with a neuropsychologist and physiotherapist, followed by an 8-12 week program involving educational materials to self-manage symptoms and symptom monitoring.
You are eligible to participate if you:
Live in rural, regional, or remote areas in Australia, and
Have had a concussion within the past 3 years, and
Have had persisting post-concussion symptoms for at least 2 weeks, and
Are aged between 16-70 years, and
Do not have an acute psychiatric condition, significant neurological history, or regularly use recreational substances
