Making clinical trial consent easier for legal representatives
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial is designed to improve how legally authorized representatives (people who make medical decisions for patients) understand and agree to join clinical studies. The goal is to see if simpler consent processes help representatives feel more comfortable giving permission.

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 tests whether a structured, shared conversation between the clinical team and the patient’s family can reduce how often families refuse organ donation after life-sustaining treatment is stopped. If you are eligible, the trial may guide how consent discussions are handled during a difficult ICU decision.
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 study aims to understand the experiences of people with insomnia who take part in clinical trials. By participating, you can help improve how future insomnia studies are designed.
