Using EEG to assess neuroelectric stimulation in severe brain injuries

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of electroencephalography (EEG) in monitoring neuroelectric stimulation treatment for patients with severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI). It seeks to determine if EEG readings change following neuroelectric stimulation and how these changes can be used to assess patient conditions. The study will include patients who are at least 7 days post-injury and have a Glasgow Coma Scale score between 3 and 8. Data will be collected retrospectively to analyze the relationship between EEG patterns and treatment outcomes.
