Official title
Safety and Efficacy of Thalamic Focused Ultrasound Stimulation (tFUS) for Promoting Recovery After Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The overall aim of this study is to develop an intervention that can help recovery in patients surviving severe brain injury but failing to fully recover. In particular, this multicenter project aims to (1) establish short-term efficacy of tFUS as a therapeutic to promote recovery in patients with prolonged DoC as compared to sham treatment, (2) establish dose-related safety and efficacy of tFUS as a therapeutic intervention in prolonged DoC patients and (3) explore preliminary predictors and biomarkers of susceptibility and response to thalamic sonication.
