NCT00717301

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine if a specific blood protein, S-100B, can help predict who will have a traumatic abnormality on head CT scan after a concussion. We will compare the levels of this protein in the subject's blood to the initial head CT scan and to how the subject is feeling one month after injury. We hope that the information we collect in this trial will help us determine who needs a head CT scan after a concussion and who may be more likely to have trouble recovering from a concussion.
