Predicting outcomes for severe brain injuries with monitoring
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a severe brain injury from a traumatic head injury, a large stroke, or a brain injury from lack of oxygen.
- You are expected to need intensive care for at least 3 days.
- A family member or legal guardian must be able to give permission for you to join the study.
- You must not have complete failure of another vital organ that is not expected to recover.
- You must not have had a serious brain condition before this injury, such as dementia or a prior stroke.
- You must not have a skull defect that prevents monitoring, and you must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study tests whether using brain wave monitoring (EEG) can help guide electrical stimulation treatment for people with severe traumatic brain injury. It aims to see if this approach can improve recovery.
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.
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 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 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 special monitors to watch brain activity and other vital signs in adults admitted to the neurosurgery intensive care unit (NSICU). The goal is to learn more about how the brain is doing and could help doctors provide better care.
