fNIRS for Disorders of Consciousness
NCT07485361
This study is recruiting at 1 US site in 1 state, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) can measure brain activity in healthy adults and in people with disorders of consciousness (DoC) in the neuro-intensive care unit (Neuro-ICU). DoC include conditions such as coma and minimally conscious state that occur after severe brain injury. These conditions make it difficult to assess a person's level of awareness because many clinical tests rely on observable behaviors such as speaking or moving, which are commonly impaired after brain injury.
