Cerebellum stimulation plus herbal injection for consciousness after head injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment for people with long-lasting consciousness problems after a head injury. It combines a gentle brain stimulation method (tDCS) on the cerebellum with an herbal injection called XingNaoJing, to see if it can help improve awareness.

This study tests whether using a gentle type of acupuncture with mild electrical stimulation on specific points on the hands and feet can help people who have been in a coma, vegetative state, or minimally conscious state for 1 to 6 months after a brain injury. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve their recovery.
This trial is for people with a brain injury who are in a state of reduced consciousness. It tests a new treatment within the first six months after injury to see if it can help with recovery.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can help improve thinking and memory problems that some people have after a mild concussion. tDCS uses a small electrical current from scalp electrodes to gently activate parts of the brain.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial theta-burst stimulation (tTIs) can help patients recover consciousness after severe brain injury. The treatment aims to improve responsiveness in people in vegetative states or minimally conscious states.
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 trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation can help people who have been minimally conscious for months after a brain injury. It aims to improve awareness and responsiveness by using mild electrical pulses.
