Brain networks and anesthesia in consciousness disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how anesthesia affects brain networks in people with prolonged disorders of consciousness. It uses a spinal stimulator and sleep recordings (PSG) to understand brain activity better and may help improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial uses a portable brain scanner (fNIRS) to study brain activity in people with disorders of consciousness, like coma or minimally conscious states. It may help doctors better understand and track recovery in these patients. Healthy volunteers are also needed as a comparison group.
This study looks at how the brain network connects during propofol sedation in people with long-lasting disorders of consciousness. It may help doctors understand brain function in these conditions and improve how care is guided during procedures.
This trial is testing a brain function evaluation system to help understand and possibly improve care for people with disorders of consciousness caused by brain injury, stroke, or lack of oxygen. It is for both acute (recent) and prolonged (lasting) cases.
This trial tests whether a drug called esketamine can help improve brain activity in people with long-term disorders of consciousness. It may help doctors understand how the brain recovers.
This study tests how different anesthesia medicines affect how brain areas communicate with each other, measured during an MRI scan. It may help researchers understand how anesthesia can change brain networks in both healthy people and people with brain tumors.
