Could a bedside scanner predict coma recovery?
NCT ID NCT07177755
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares a standard high-field MRI with a portable low-field MRI to see if the portable version can detect brain damage in people in a coma after cardiac arrest. Researchers will scan 60 participants (30 coma patients and 30 healthy volunteers) multiple times over two weeks. The goal is to see if the low-field scanner can provide useful information at the bedside, avoiding the need to move critically ill patients.
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 enable bedside brain scans to predict recovery after cardiac arrest, avoiding risky patient transport.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage study with only 60 participants. The low-field MRI may not capture enough detail to be useful.
