NCT ID NCT06939348
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study tests a non-invasive technique called focused ultrasound to stimulate a deep brain region (the thalamus) in people who have been in a coma or minimally conscious state for over a month after a severe brain injury. The goal is to see if this can safely improve their level of consciousness compared to a sham (fake) procedure. The trial will enroll 60 participants and also look for brain wave patterns that predict who might benefit.
