Tests ways to predict recovery after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at different ways to predict how people with severe disorders of consciousness might recover after a brain injury. It may help doctors better estimate prognosis and improve care planning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult age 18 to 80 with a consciousness problem (not fully awake for a period of time)
- Your brain injury must be visible on CT or MRI, such as after trauma, lack of oxygen (anoxia), or stroke
- You should not currently be deeply sedated (for example, not in a medically induced deep-sleep state)
- You should not have a severe known brain-wasting disease, like Alzheimer’s
- You must not be pregnant

This trial studies memory abilities in people who are unconscious due to a brain injury. It compares unconscious patients, conscious patients in intensive care, and people who have recovered consciousness after being unconscious. Participation involves memory testing and may help us understand how the brain recovers.
This study checks how a brain responds to two kinds of sounds—neutral tones and emotional sounds—in people with a persistent disorder of consciousness after a serious event like stroke, head injury, or cardiac arrest. The goal is to see whether these brain “signal” tests can help doctors predict outcomes.
This study uses MRI and EEG scans to better predict whether people will recover from a severe brain injury. It aims to give families and doctors a clearer picture of what to expect in the early weeks after injury.
This study uses a special EEG test to measure brain activity in people who are not fully conscious after a recent brain injury. The goal is to find better ways to know if someone will wake up and recover thinking abilities.
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 study looks at patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) who already need brain pressure or oxygen monitoring. Doctors want to see if certain tests can help predict how well someone might recover.
