Below are recruiting comatose clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 7 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT07127224Recruiting
Predicting recovery with smell tests in coma
This study tests whether a simple smell test can help predict recovery of consciousness in patients who remain in a coma or minimally conscious state after a severe brain injury. If you or your loved one has been unresponsive for several days after sedation is stopped, this trial may provide useful information about prognosis.
Paris, GHU Psychiatrie Et NeurosciencesAges 18 years+ - NCT07719595Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation for coma after brain injury
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve (a nerve in the neck) can help people regain consciousness after a severe traumatic brain injury. It is for patients who are in a coma or minimally conscious state, and the treatment is given along with standard ICU care.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05321459Recruiting
Testing outcome prediction in comatose patients after cardiac arrest
This study looks at tests that may help predict outcomes in people who remain in a coma 3 to 7 days after surviving a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors better estimate recovery and guide care decisions.
BobignyAges 18 years+ - NCT06979700Recruiting
Early wake-up predictors after cardiac arrest
This study looks at patients who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are still unconscious after their heartbeat returns. The goal is to find early signs that predict when someone will wake up.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT06992843Recruiting
Protecting the brain after cardiac arrest coma
This trial tests a set of treatments designed to protect the brain in people who remain unconscious after their heart restarts following a cardiac arrest. It may help improve recovery by preventing further brain injury.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–80 - NCT07074678Enrolling by invitation
Predicting recovery in early consciousness disorders
This study uses brain scans to understand how people with severe brain injuries may recover consciousness. It is for patients who have had a recent brain injury and are in a coma, vegetative state, or minimally conscious state.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06681779Enrolling by invitation
Testing mild electrical stimulation for coma exams
This study tests if a mild electrical skin stimulation (like a TENS unit) can be used instead of a painful pinch to check brain function in coma patients. It aims to make the standard coma exam more comfortable and consistent.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for comatose?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 7 recruiting comatose studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a comatose trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a comatose trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
