NCT ID NCT04445649

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study follows 130 patients with disorders of consciousness after stroke, traumatic brain injury, or oxygen deprivation. Researchers will use brain scans, electrical tests, and regular check-ups to find factors that might predict if and when patients regain consciousness. The goal is to better understand recovery patterns, not to test a new treatment.

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 help doctors better predict which patients might regain consciousness after severe brain injury, guiding treatment decisions.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve outcomes. Results may not apply to all patients or settings.
