NCT ID NCT04746820
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new brain scanning method called fNIRS to see if it can predict recovery in unconscious ICU patients with severe stroke or brain injury. Researchers will compare fNIRS results with standard tests in 30 patients and healthy volunteers. If successful, fNIRS could become a simple, bedside tool to help doctors understand brain function and guide care.
