Predict recovery for adults in early severe brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tries to predict how well people may recover after an acute severe brain injury that affects awareness (like coma). It uses information from the first few weeks after injury to guide expectations and future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older.
- Have a recent acute brain injury, such as stroke, brain bleeding, lack of oxygen, head injury, or brain infection.
- Since the injury, you have trouble following commands, speaking clearly, or communicating (for example, coma or minimally conscious state minus).
- The condition must be within 28 days of the brain injury.
- You must be able to participate in study procedures that rely on English (you or your caregiver can answer English questionnaires).

This trial uses a combination of EEG (brain wave) and EMG (muscle activity) tests to see if they can predict recovery in people who have been unconscious or minimally conscious after a brain injury. Joining this study may help doctors better understand how to care for patients with these conditions.
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 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 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 follows people with severe brain injury to see if different tests can better predict recovery. It's for those still unconscious or barely responsive after a head trauma or bleeding stroke.
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.
