Brain wave tool may predict awakening in coma patients
NCT ID NCT05321459
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new tool called PRECOM that uses brain wave signals to predict whether coma patients after cardiac arrest will wake up within three months. Researchers will enroll 100 adults in French ICUs and compare the tool's predictions to actual outcomes. The goal is to improve accuracy over current methods, helping doctors and families make better decisions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age above18 years old * Patient affiliated to a French Heath Care Insurance * Admitted in the intensive care unit (ICU) for coma post extra- or intra-hospital cardiac arrest (CA) with shockable or non-shockable rhythm * Persistent coma on day 3 after post CA, defined by the inability to respond to a verbal command in an appropriate manner (motor Glasgow components ≤ 3) and at the time of neurophysiological recordings (D3-D7 ± week -end). Exclusion Criteria: * Decision to limit resuscitation therapies taken by the resuscitation team * Inability to perform the auditory evoked potentials (AEP) (deafness, skin lesion or any condition preventing to record AEP). * Opposition by the trusted person or by the patient once he/she wakes up
