Testing a recovery approach for people with severe brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is testing a recovery strategy for adults who are in intensive care after a severe brain injury and are not able to follow commands. It may help doctors learn better ways to support recovery in this critical situation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 or older).
- If you are in the intensive care unit for a brain injury, you may need to be unconscious and score under 8 on the Glasgow Coma Scale.
- If you are a brain-injury participant, you must be unable to follow bedside commands when you arrive.
- You must have a negative COVID-19 test on arrival (for the brain-injury participant group).
- You cannot join if you are pregnant, or if you had cardiac arrest when you arrived.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests if a gentle, noninvasive nerve stimulation (on the neck) combined with computerized thinking exercises can help people recovering from a traumatic brain injury improve memory and attention. It is for adults currently in inpatient rehab who can use a keyboard and are medically stable.
This Phase 2 trial is testing a combination medication strategy to improve outcomes after severe traumatic brain injury that needs emergency brain surgery soon after the injury. It may help by affecting how injured brain cells respond, aiming to improve survival or recovery.
This study tests whether music therapy can help people recover from severe brain injuries caused by blunt trauma. Participants will be in a deep coma on a breathing machine, and the study explores whether listening to music might support their healing and recovery.
This trial studies treatments to help people regain consciousness after an intracerebral hemorrhage (a bleeding stroke inside the brain). It focuses on adults who are unresponsive to commands within 48 hours, likely from certain bleeding locations, and who meet specific safety and language requirements.
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.
