Zapping the ear to wake the brain: new hope for coma patients
NCT ID NCT06930716
Summary
This study is testing whether a combination of two therapies can help patients with severe, long-term brain injuries regain consciousness and function. Fifteen participants will receive gentle electrical stimulation to the ear (vagus nerve stimulation) while using a robotic table that helps them stand and move. The goal is to see if this paired approach is safe, feasible, and can improve awareness and recovery over a 12-week program and one year of follow-up.
