Trial Outcomes

Mean Difference in Change in Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEF) Color-Word Interference and Trail Making Test Performance at Weeks 3 and 6.

This measure indicates the mean differences in Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEF) tests between entry into the study and 3 weeks and entry into the study and 6 weeks for both the LED group and the placebo group. The mean difference is calculated by taking the mean of differences of the entry scores minus the 3 week scores and the entry scores minus the 6 week scores. D-KEFs color-word interferences, made up of color naming, word reading, and inhibition, is measured in seconds, a smaller number represents a better outcome. Participants were given 90 seconds to complete color naming and word reading and 180 seconds to complete inhibition. D-KEFs trail making test, made up of number sequencing, letter sequencing, and number-letter sequencing, is measured in seconds, a faster speed (lower number) represents a better outcome. Participants were given 150 seconds to complete number and letter sequencing and 240 seconds to complete number-letter sequencing. (NCT02383472)

Mean Difference in Change in Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEF) Verbal Fluency Performance at Weeks 3 and 6.

This measure indicates the mean differences in Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEF) tests between entry into the study and 3 weeks and entry into the study and 6 weeks for both the LED group and the placebo group. The mean difference is calculated by taking the mean of differences of the entry scores minus the 3 week scores and the entry scores minus the 6 week scores. D-KEFs Verbal Fluency Test, made up of letter fluency and category fluency, is measured by number of responses, a larger number represents a better outcome. Participants were given 60 seconds to complete each fluency test. (NCT02383472)

Mean Difference in Change in Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) Score at Baseline and 6 Weeks.

The primary outcome is mean difference on composite scores of Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) between entry into the study and completion of treatment (visit 18, week 6) for both the LED group and the placebo group. The mean difference is calculated by taking the mean of differences of the entry scores minus the 6 week scores. There are 5 composite scores on the ImPACT test; verbal memory, visual memory, visual motor speed, reaction time, and symptom score. The ranges for these subscales are as follows: verbal memory and visual memory: 0-100, visual motor speed: 0-60, reaction time: 0-1.0, and symptom score: 0-132. A higher verbal memory, visual memory, and visual motor speed represent a better outcome, while a lower reaction time and lower symptom score represent a better outcome. (NCT02383472)

Mean Difference in Change in Total Cognitive Symptom Score at Weeks 3 and Weeks 6

"This measure indicates the mean difference in total cognitive symptom scores between entry into the study and 3 weeks and entry into the study and 6 weeks for both the LED group and the placebo group. The mean difference is calculated by taking the mean of differences of the entry scores minus the 3 week scores and the entry scores minus the 6 weeks scores. The total cognitive symptom scored is a sum of 7 symptom scores from the PCSS; feeling slowed down, feeling like in a fog, don't feel right, difficulty concentrating, difficulty remembering, fatigue or low energy, and confusion. The severity of these symptoms are scored 0-6, 0=none, 6=severe. The range for the total cognitive symptom score is 0-42, a lower score represents a better outcome." (NCT02383472)

Mean Difference in Change in Total Post Concussion Symptom Score (PCSS) at Weeks 3 and Weeks 6.

This measure indicates the mean differences in total post concussion symptom score (PCSS) between entry into the study and 3 weeks and entry into the study and 6 weeks for both the LED group and the placebo group. The mean difference is calculated by taking the mean of differences of the entry scores minus the 3 week scores and the entry scores minus the 6 week scores. The PCSS is a sum of severity scores from 0-6 (0=none, 6=severe) for 22 individual symptoms, like headache, neck pain, or drowsiness. The range for the PCSS is 0-132, a lower score represents a better outcome. (NCT02383472)
