CONSCIOUSNESS DISORDERS

This study tests a non-invasive treatment called focused ultrasound (tFUS) to see if it can safely help people with severe brain injury recover consciousness. Researchers will compare real tFUS to a sham (fake) treatment in 60 participants who have been in a disorder of conscious…

This study is testing whether combining a gentle nerve stimulation (taVNS) with a robotic tilt table can safely help people with long-term consciousness disorders after brain injury. Fifteen participants will undergo a 12-week rehabilitation program. The goal is to see if this pa…

This study explores whether low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFUP) can improve recovery in people with severe brain injury who have disorders of consciousness. Researchers will measure changes in behavior and brain activity before and after the ultrasound sessions. The study al…

This study looks at very small movements (micro-movements) in people who have been unconscious for a long time after a severe brain injury. The goal is to see if these movements can help doctors better understand a patient's level of awareness and improve diagnosis. Researchers w…

This study looks at tiny, involuntary facial expressions (micro-expressions) in 200 people with long-term consciousness disorders after severe brain injury. Researchers use emotional stimuli to trigger these expressions and combine them with EEG and MRI scans. The goal is to impr…
