Better Diagnosis for Children with Brain Injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests new ways to evaluate children with severe brain injuries who are in a vegetative or minimally conscious state. The goal is to improve diagnosis and care for children with serious disorders of consciousness after a brain injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You had a brain injury from trauma, lack of oxygen, infection, or a stroke.
- You are between 2 months and 25 years old.
- Your injury left you in a coma, with a low score on a consciousness test.
- You are currently in a vegetative or minimally conscious state.
- Your injury happened at least a few weeks ago (subacute or chronic phase).

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 different types of rehabilitation (alone or combined) affect recovery in people with disorders of consciousness after a brain injury. It aims to find the best approaches to help improve outcomes.
This study uses brain scans to understand how people with severe brain injuries may recover consciousness. It is for patients who have had a recent brain injury and are in a coma, vegetative state, or minimally conscious state.
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 tests better assessment methods for people who have disorders of consciousness after a brain injury. It aims to improve how doctors check awareness and recovery, which may help guide treatment.
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.
