Predicting recovery after severe brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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 looks at whether measuring brain waves (EEG) and muscle signals (EMG) together can help predict recovery in people with disorders of consciousness after brain injury. It may help doctors better understand your condition and guide care.
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.
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 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 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.
This study is testing a new way to predict recovery for people with serious brain injuries in the ICU. It uses continuous brain monitoring to gather more information and help doctors make better treatment decisions.
