NCT ID NCT06464549

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether spontaneous eye blinking can help doctors understand the level of consciousness and attention in people with severe acquired brain injury. Researchers will record eye blinks using simple sensors while patients rest or listen to sounds. The goal is to develop a tool that helps tell apart patients who are unaware from those who show minimal signs of awareness, aiding in rehabilitation planning.
