Connectivity and Neural Signatures of Consciousness in Unresponsive States
Connectivity and Neural Signatures of Consciousness In Unresponsive States (CONSCIUS) - a Study of Brain Activity in Disorders of Consciousness
About This Trial
The CONSCIUS study is a prospective, interventional study including patients with acute brain injury and impaired consciousness implanted with intracranial electrodes. The aim of the study is to investigate seizures and thalamocortical neural dynamics underlying behavioral unresponsiveness.
Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)
Who May Qualify:
- 18 years old or older
- Brain injury of any kind, with impaired consciousness or suspected seizures
Who Should NOT Join This Trial:
- \< 18 years old
- Known pregnancy
- Any condition that, in the judgement of the investigator, makes participation in the study unsafe or unfeasible (e.g., irreversible coagulopathy, large intracranial tumors, surgical technical problems…)
