Micro-movements in prolonged disorders of consciousness
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies tiny, subconscious movements in people who have been in a coma or minimal consciousness for over a month after a severe brain injury. It aims to understand these movements better, which could help improve care and communication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been unconscious or minimally conscious for more than 28 days after a severe brain injury
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- Your vital signs (heart rate, breathing, etc.) are stable

This study looks at tiny, unconscious facial expressions in patients who have been in a vegetative or minimally conscious state for over a month after a severe brain injury. The goal is to see if these micro-expressions can help doctors better understand a patient's level of awareness.
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 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 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 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.
