Find factors to help people regain consciousness after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at what predicts recovery of consciousness after certain serious brain injuries, such as stroke or traumatic brain injury. It may help clinicians better identify which patients are more likely to wake up and guide early rehabilitation and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re in early neurological rehabilitation (about the first rehabilitation stage after injury)
- Your condition is one of: stroke, traumatic brain injury, or lack of oxygen to the brain (hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy)
- You currently have a disorder of consciousness (coma, UWS, or MCS)
- At least 2 weeks have passed since the injury or event started
- You are (or will be) in an intensive care unit, and a legal representative can give consent

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.
This trial is testing a brain function evaluation system to help understand and possibly improve care for people with disorders of consciousness caused by brain injury, stroke, or lack of oxygen. It is for both acute (recent) and prolonged (lasting) cases.
This trial studies a device and plan to assess brain function and deliver an intervention in people who are in a coma, minimally conscious state, or unresponsive arousal state after brain injury, stroke, or lack of oxygen. If you qualify, it may help doctors understand and potentially improve brain function over time.
This trial studies whether short-term spinal cord stimulation can help people regain consciousness after an intracerebral hemorrhage (brain bleed). It’s mainly for patients whose brain function tests suggest they are in a minimally conscious state and who are medically stable enough for the procedure.
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to try to predict whether people who are still unconscious after a cardiac arrest will recover. It is looking for adults who are in a coma and have not woken up after being taken off sedation medicines for at least three days.
This study checks how awake and aware you are using two standard checklists (CRS-R and SECONDs). It's for people with recent brain injuries in intensive care who are still very dependent.
