Can we predict who wakes up? new study seeks answers
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 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.
