Rehabilitation study for people with disorders of consciousness
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how different types of rehabilitation (alone or combined) affect recovery in people with disorders of consciousness after a brain injury. It aims to find the best approaches to help improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with a vegetative state or minimally conscious state after a brain injury

- Your lungs are working well enough (oxygen level in blood is adequate)
- Your blood pressure and heart rate are stable without major changes
- You do not have deafness or blindness
- You have not had multiple previous rehabilitation cycles for this condition

This trial is testing a brain function evaluation system to help understand and possibly improve care for people with disorders of consciousness caused by brain injury, stroke, or lack of oxygen. It is for both acute (recent) and prolonged (lasting) cases.
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.
This study tests new ways to evaluate children with severe brain injuries who are in a vegetative or minimally conscious state. The goal is to improve diagnosis and care for children with serious disorders of consciousness after a brain injury.
This study tests if a special brain stimulation technique (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS) can help people with disorders of consciousness after a recent brain injury. Researchers want to see if stimulating different spots on the brain improves recovery.
This study uses brain scans to understand how people with severe brain injuries may recover consciousness. It is for patients who have had a recent brain injury and are in a coma, vegetative state, or minimally conscious state.
This study looks at what predicts recovery of consciousness after certain serious brain injuries, such as stroke or traumatic brain injury. It may help clinicians better identify which patients are more likely to wake up and guide early rehabilitation and care.
