Brain Monitoring to Predict Recovery After Acute Brain Injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way to predict recovery for people with serious brain injuries in the ICU. It uses continuous brain monitoring to gather more information and help doctors make better treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a serious sudden brain injury (like a large stroke, brain bleed, or severe head injury) confirmed by a CT or MRI scan.
- At the time you entered the ICU, you were not opening your eyes and were unable to follow simple commands, or your condition got worse within the first 48 hours.
- You are expected to stay in the ICU for at least 3 days (72 hours) so continuous brain monitors can be used.
- Your family or legal representative has agreed to the study and signed a consent form.
- You do not have any severe injuries to other body parts (such as a broken spine or internal injuries) that could interfere with the brain monitoring.

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 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.
This study is developing a tool to help predict outcomes for people with severe brain injuries by combining information from brain monitoring and body metabolism. Participating could help doctors better understand your condition and tailor care in the intensive care unit.
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 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.
