Understanding recovery after severe brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study follows people with severe brain injury to see if different tests can better predict recovery. It's for those still unconscious or barely responsive after a head trauma or bleeding stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You had a moderate-to-severe head injury or a bleeding stroke.
- You needed a breathing tube within the first day because of low consciousness.
- You are being treated at Nicosia General Hospital.

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 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 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 follows patients who have been in a coma (deep unconsciousness) for at least 24 hours due to a brain injury. Researchers will track how patients recover over time to better understand which factors help predict who will wake up and how well they'll recover.
This study looks at different ways to predict how people with severe disorders of consciousness might recover after a brain injury. It may help doctors better estimate prognosis and improve care planning.
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.
