Brain wiring maps may forecast coma recovery after cardiac arrest
NCT ID NCT06617377
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether advanced MRI scans that map the brain's structural and functional connections can better predict neurological recovery in coma patients after cardiac arrest than standard methods. Researchers will scan 263 adults who remain unconscious at least 72 hours after sedation is stopped. The goal is to see if these personalized brain maps improve predictions of recovery six months later.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide doctors with a more accurate tool to predict which coma patients may recover, helping guide care decisions.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The predictive model may not prove reliable enough for routine use, and results may not apply to all patients.
