Sleep and wake patterns after a traumatic brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how the sleep-wake cycle (patterns of sleeping and being awake) works in people who have had a traumatic brain injury and are in a coma or minimally conscious state. It may help doctors better understand and care for these patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The patient must be 18 years or older.
- The patient must have had a traumatic brain injury (an injury caused by a blow or jolt to the head).
- The patient must be in a vegetative state or minimally conscious state (not fully awake or responsive).
- The patient must be currently admitted to a post-resuscitation rehabilitation unit or a neurological intensive care unit.
- A family member or close relative must be available to agree to the patient taking part, since the patient cannot decide for themselves.
- The patient must be enrolled in a national health insurance scheme (or equivalent).

This study looks at whether sleep patterns can predict how well patients recover after a severe brain injury. Participants wear a small device to monitor sleep, and researchers track their recovery over time.
This study looks at how the body's internal clock (circadian rhythm) changes as people wake up from a coma. Researchers hope to learn more about recovery patterns to improve care for patients with brain injuries.
This study uses a wearable device to track sleep patterns in people who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It aims to see how sleep relates to recovery, which could help improve care after a head injury.
This study looks at how sleep is affected after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It uses a small wearable tracker to measure sleep patterns at home, either soon after the injury or a year or more later.
This study looks at how well people recover consciousness after a severe brain injury that happens from trauma or bleeding in the brain. It helps doctors understand recovery patterns and may improve care for patients in a coma or minimally conscious state.
This study looks at what predicts recovery of consciousness after certain serious brain injuries, such as stroke or traumatic brain injury. It may help clinicians better identify which patients are more likely to wake up and guide early rehabilitation and care.
