Predicting recovery after brain injury using advanced MRI scans
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how doctors predict a patient's recovery after a severe brain injury. It uses a special MRI scan that shows the brain's wiring to see if it helps doctors make better predictions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 looks at patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) who already need brain pressure or oxygen monitoring. Doctors want to see if certain tests can help predict how well someone might recover.
This study uses a quick MRI scan to check brain function and predict recovery after a traumatic brain injury. It may help researchers develop better ways to assess and treat TBI patients.
This study looks at how well different scores from brain scans can predict recovery after a stroke. It is for people who had an ischemic stroke and were treated with both clot-dissolving medicine and a clot removal procedure.
This study is for adults who recently had a severe brain injury (within the last 3 months) and are in the early stages of recovery. Researchers want to learn more about what affects recovery and how to improve outcomes.
