Using EEG to Guide Neuroelectric Stimulation Treatment for Adults with Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating how electroencephalography EEG can be used in managing neuroelectric stimulation treatment for patients with severe traumatic brain injuries TBI. This observational retrospective study focuses on whether EEG changes after neuroelectric stimulation and how these changes relate to patient conditions. The study aims to improve understanding of EEGs role in assessing recovery in severe TBI cases. Participants in this study have severe TBI and receive neuroelectric stimulation. The study groups include patients whose consciousness improves after stimulation and those whose consciousness does not improve, as measured by the CRS-R score. The researchers compare EEG results before and after the treatment to assess changes related to patient recovery. Participants will be monitored during hospitalization and followed for six months after discharge. The main outcome is the CRS-R score measured six months post-discharge, with additional assessments during the three-month hospital stay. The study collects EEG data to evaluate brain activity and changes over time, helping to determine the effectiveness of neuroelectric stimulation in severe TBI patients.
