New brain scan aims to see the unseen in coma patients
NCT ID NCT05463029
Summary
This study tested a new type of brain scan to see if it could better assess brain activity and predict recovery in patients with severe disorders of consciousness, like coma. Researchers aimed to see if this advanced scan could provide more reliable information than current bedside exams, which can sometimes be inaccurate. The goal was to develop a better tool to help doctors understand a patient's condition and potential for recovery.
