Brain scan study for coma after cardiac arrest
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses two types of MRI machines to see how the brain changes when someone is in a coma after cardiac arrest. It aims to better understand recovery and may help guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are in a coma after cardiac arrest (not awake, not following commands).
- You have a legal representative who can sign a permission form.
- You are covered by French health insurance.
- You do not have any metal implants or devices that are not safe for MRI.

This study uses brain scans (MRI) to try to predict whether people who are still unconscious after a cardiac arrest will recover. It is looking for adults who are in a coma and have not woken up after being taken off sedation medicines for at least three days.
This study looks at tests that may help predict outcomes in people who remain in a coma 3 to 7 days after surviving a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors better estimate recovery and guide care decisions.
This study uses a portable MRI machine to look for brain injury in people who remain unconscious after their heartbeat is restored (ROSC) from a cardiac arrest. If you are having a standard MRI and being treated with temperature control, you may be eligible.
This study follows patients who have been in a coma (deep unconsciousness) for at least 24 hours due to a brain injury. Researchers will track how patients recover over time to better understand which factors help predict who will wake up and how well they'll recover.
This study looks at patients who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are still unconscious after their heartbeat returns. The goal is to find early signs that predict when someone will wake up.
This study is testing new tools and markers to better predict recovery after cardiac arrest when brain injury may occur. It involves adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated at Saint-Luc hospital.
