Measuring awareness after brain injury in the ICU
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study checks how awake and aware you are using two standard checklists (CRS-R and SECONDs). It's for people with recent brain injuries in intensive care who are still very dependent.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a brain injury from lack of oxygen, a head injury, or a stroke.
- You are currently in an intensive care unit or a high-dependency unit.
- Your injury happened less than 3 months ago.
- You have very low scores on a daily living skills test (Early Rehabilitation Barthel Index < 30).
- You don't have a prior brain injury or major psychiatric disorder.
- You are not still being sedated and can understand German (or don't have severe aphasia).

This study looks at how the brain processes sounds in patients with disorders of consciousness, such as unresponsive wakefulness syndrome or minimally conscious state. It may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve care.
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 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 trial uses a portable brain scanner (fNIRS) to study brain activity in people with disorders of consciousness, like coma or minimally conscious states. It may help doctors better understand and track recovery in these patients. Healthy volunteers are also needed as a comparison group.
This study looks at whether measuring brain waves (EEG) and muscle signals (EMG) together can help predict recovery in people with disorders of consciousness after brain injury. It may help doctors better understand your condition and guide care.
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.
