ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a special test called electroencephalography (EEG) can help doctors understand and treat patients who have suffered severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Researchers want to find out if EEG results change after these patients receive a treatment known as neuroelectric stimulation, and how EEG can be used to assess their condition over time.

To participate in this study, potential candidates must be at least 18 years old and have experienced a severe TBI, which is measured by a specific scoring system. They should be at least seven days post-injury and have a score between 3 and 8. However, individuals with certain health issues, like unstable vital signs or a history of serious mental disorders, may not be eligible. If you or someone you know meets these criteria, participating in the trial could provide valuable insights into how EEG can improve care for patients with severe brain injuries.
