EEG Study to Predict Recovery After Brain Injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You were able to do daily activities on your own before the brain injury.
- You have had a brain injury in the last 28 days.
- You are not following commands (like squeezing a hand on request) on at least two medical checks.
- Your doctors can safely pause any IV sedatives for at least 10 minutes.
- Your ICU team says it's safe to put a special 64-electrode EEG cap on your scalp.

This study looks at brain activity in people who are unresponsive after a brain injury. It uses advanced brain scans to see if there are hidden signs of consciousness, which could help doctors better understand and care for these patients.
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.
This trial tests special cameras and sensors that check your brain without surgery. It may help doctors watch for brain swelling and other problems more safely.
This study looks at different ways to predict how people with severe disorders of consciousness might recover after a brain injury. It may help doctors better estimate prognosis and improve care planning.
This study uses MRI and EEG scans to better predict whether people will recover from a severe brain injury. It aims to give families and doctors a clearer picture of what to expect in the early weeks after injury.
This study looks at whether measuring brain waves (EEG) and muscle signals (EMG) together can help predict recovery in people with disorders of consciousness after brain injury. It may help doctors better understand your condition and guide care.
