Personalized brain stimulation for patients in coma after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether personalized repetitive brain stimulation (rTMS) can improve symptoms in people diagnosed with disorders of consciousness after a recent brain injury. It compares treatment in a steady, safe way and checks whether the stimulation target matches your brain scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your brain injury happened between 28 days and 1 year ago
- You have a doctor-confirmed diagnosis of disorder of consciousness (DOC)
- You don’t have a history of other mental health or brain psychiatric conditions
- Your condition is stable, and your vital signs are steady
- You can safely have rTMS and EEG, and you’re not taking meds that could interfere (or sedatives)
- Your MRI shows the stimulation target area correctly

This study tests if a special brain stimulation technique (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS) can help people with disorders of consciousness after a recent brain injury. Researchers want to see if stimulating different spots on the brain improves recovery.
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 tests if a personalized type of brain stimulation (TMS) can help with behavioral and psychological symptoms like agitation or mood changes in Alzheimer's disease. It is double-blind, meaning neither you nor the doctor will know if you get the real stimulation or a placebo.
This trial studies whether personalized rTMS (a noninvasive brain stimulation) can help improve arm and hand strength after a recent stroke. It may help people who still have weaker upper-limb movement within the first few months after stroke.
This trial tests a non-painful brain stimulation therapy to improve arm movement after a stroke. It may help people recover motor function when starting within a few months and meeting safety and participation requirements.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called alpha tACS to see if it can help people with disorders of consciousness, such as being in a vegetative or minimally conscious state. It may offer a new way to improve awareness and responsiveness.
