Brain wave test to predict coma recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special brain wave test (called SSEP) can help doctors predict recovery from coma after a stroke or brain bleed. If you meet the criteria, you may be eligible for this study.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be in the intensive care unit (ICU) because of a stroke or a bleed in the brain.
- You must be in a coma (unconscious) even 24 hours after stopping sedative medicines.
- You must not wear hearing aids.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must not have a severe lung problem called ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome).

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 uses a simple, painless brain wave test (EEG) soon after an ischemic stroke to help predict how well you may recover and to guide your care. It may help doctors better understand your individual risk and plan your treatment.
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.
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 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 looks at whether brain wave tests (EEG) done early in the hospital can help predict how a child with encephalopathy (a condition causing confusion or reduced consciousness) will recover. It aims to find out if certain brain wave patterns are linked to better or worse outcomes.
