ECG changes and survival in isolated brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether heart rhythm changes on an ECG can help predict survival in people with a brain injury. It may help doctors better understand how serious the injury is.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a brain injury only, without other major injuries.
- You must be admitted to the hospital for your brain injury.
- You must not have a history of heart problems.
- You must not have had a cardiac arrest before arriving at the emergency department.

This study uses brain scans (MRI) to understand how a traumatic brain injury can affect the heart. It may help find better ways to treat the brain-heart connection after a head injury.
This study looks at patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) who already need brain pressure or oxygen monitoring. Doctors want to see if certain tests can help predict how well someone might recover.
This study looks at how your heart rate changes (heart rate variability) to predict brain injury after a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors identify brain damage earlier so they can provide better care.
This trial uses a special EEG device (Brainstatus) to measure brain activity in people who are still unconscious after a cardiac arrest. The goal is to see if certain brain waves can predict a good recovery.
This study looks at how the brain and heart interact after a cardiac arrest that leaves someone unconscious. It aims to understand these connections better, which could help improve care for future patients.
This study tests a special brain-monitoring system in the ICU for people with severe brain injuries. It aims to give doctors early warnings about changes in the brain and help predict recovery, which may improve treatment and outcomes.
