Measuring skin response during brain injury rehabilitation
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body's stress and recovery systems work during rehabilitation by measuring tiny changes in skin sweat. The goal is to see if these measurements can help guide therapy and improve outcomes for people recovering from severe brain injuries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a severe brain injury that happened after birth (like from a stroke, accident, or lack of oxygen).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- During a rehabilitation session, you had a recording of your skin's sweat response (often called EDA) taken.
- You do not have a condition that heavily affects sweating or your body's automatic stress response (like severe autonomic dysfunction, widespread nerve damage, unstable blood pressure, or an active infection).

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 trial monitors brain activity with special electrodes after a severe head injury. It aims to understand how the brain recovers by watching the electrical signals, which might help improve treatment for brain pressure.
This study tests whether a sensor on the scalp can detect a wave of abnormal electrical activity in the brain after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The goal is to help clinicians monitor and possibly treat dangerous pressure build-up in the brain.
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 checks how a brain responds to two kinds of sounds—neutral tones and emotional sounds—in people with a persistent disorder of consciousness after a serious event like stroke, head injury, or cardiac arrest. The goal is to see whether these brain “signal” tests can help doctors predict outcomes.
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.
