Concussion research is a critical part of the Bloorview Research Institute and informs the clinical care at the Holland Bloorview Concussion Centre. Researchers at the PRISM Lab, the PEARL Lab and the NOvEL Labs all have ongoing innovative, ground-breaking research to create a world of possibilities for children living with concussions and their families.
Please find below a list of concussion-related research studies:
