Predicting recovery after severe stroke or brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a painless test called SSEPs (checking nerve signals in response to mild electrical pulses) to see if it can help predict how patients with severe brain injury might recover. It hopes to give families and doctors better information about the outlook.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be in the intensive care unit (ICU) for a stroke or other blood vessel problem in the brain.
- You must be in a coma (not able to wake up) with a Glasgow Coma Scale score below 8, 24 hours after stopping sedation.
- You or a family member must be informed about the research and agree to not object to participation.
- You must be covered by a social security health plan.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can improve arm movement in people who recently had a stroke. It uses an EEG cap to measure your brain activity while you do arm exercises, helping you relearn how to move your affected arm.
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 a special brain wave test (called an EEG) done early after an ischemic stroke can help doctors predict how well you will recover and plan your care. It is an observational study, meaning you will not receive any experimental treatment.
This trial uses a combination of EEG (brain wave) and EMG (muscle activity) tests to see if they can predict recovery in people who have been unconscious or minimally conscious after a brain injury. Joining this study may help doctors better understand how to care for patients with these conditions.
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 tries to predict how well people may recover after an acute severe brain injury that affects awareness (like coma). It uses information from the first few weeks after injury to guide expectations and future care.
