Circadian rhythms during coma awakening
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body's internal clock (circadian rhythm) changes as people wake up from a coma. Researchers hope to learn more about recovery patterns to improve care for patients with brain injuries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 17 years old and have a urinary catheter in place.
- You are in a hospital intensive care unit (ICU) or rehabilitation unit for a brain injury or coma.
- Your level of consciousness is reduced (for example, not responding to simple commands or not using objects functionally).
- You do not have any metal implants or devices (like a pacemaker) that prevent MRI scans.
- You have not had a recent seizure lasting more than 12 hours or multiple seizures.

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.
This study follows patients who have been in a coma (deep unconsciousness) for at least 24 hours due to a brain injury. Researchers will track how patients recover over time to better understand which factors help predict who will wake up and how well they'll recover.
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 study looks at how a traumatic brain injury that causes coma affects the brain's dopamine system. You will get two types of brain scans (MRI and PET) to see changes that might help predict 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 study looks at sleep patterns in people with traumatic brain injury who are in a vegetative or minimally conscious state. It aims to help understand their sleep-wake cycles and guide better care.
