What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at whether unconscious patients with brain injuries who show brain activity in response to music and language on an EEG are more likely to wake up and recover. Researchers will monitor 300 adults in the ICU, along with healthy volunteers, to see if these brain signals can predict better outcomes. The goal is to find a simple bedside test that helps doctors understand a patient's chances of recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could help doctors predict which unconscious patients are likely to wake up and recover better after a brain injury.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study, not a treatment. It may not find a clear link between brain activity and recovery, and results may not apply to all patients.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
