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 follows people with severe brain injury to see if different tests can better predict recovery. It's for those still unconscious or barely responsive after a head trauma or bleeding stroke.
This study uses advanced brain monitoring to detect early warning signs and help predict recovery in patients with severe brain injuries from trauma or bleeding. It aims to give doctors better tools to care for you or your loved one.
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 monitors brain chemistry and neurological signals to build a model that helps predict outcomes for severe brain injury patients. It could help tailor care for people with traumatic brain injury, large strokes, or oxygen deprivation.
This study tests a special monitoring approach for people with severe traumatic brain injury who are not opening their eyes or following commands. The goal is to see if close watching and coordinated care can improve recovery.
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.
