Brain wave and muscle signal test for predicting recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your brain injury happened between 28 and 90 days ago.
- You have been diagnosed with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (vegetative state) or minimally conscious state.
- A legal guardian must agree to you taking part and sign the consent form.
- You must not have certain other nerve injuries (spinal cord above the upper back, or to the palms or soles) that could affect the tests.
- You must not have had deep sedation or unstable medical conditions in the last 72 hours.

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 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.
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 a simple, painless brain wave test (EEG) soon after an ischemic stroke to help predict how well you may recover and to guide your care. It may help doctors better understand your individual risk and plan your treatment.
This trial tests whether a special brain wave test (called SSEP) can help doctors predict recovery from coma after a stroke or brain bleed. If you meet the criteria, you may be eligible for this study.
This study tests new ways to better understand and assess consciousness in people who have had a brain injury and are not fully awake or aware. It may help doctors get a clearer picture of your condition and guide future care.
