Stroke Trial, Recruiting
Who may be able to join
AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI
Who might be able to join this trial:
- People who are 18 years of age or older at the time of hospital admission
- People who have been in a coma for at least 24 hours after arriving at the hospital, or who passed away before the 24-hour mark without regaining consciousness. A coma here means a very low level of consciousness based on a standard medical scale — not being able to follow commands, having very limited verbal response, and where the reduced consciousness is not explained only by sedating medications
- People whose coma was caused by a brain or nervous system problem, such as a head injury, stroke, lack of oxygen to the brain, a brain infection, seizures, or similar conditions
- People who were admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU), or who passed away before reaching the ICU
Who may not be able to join:
- People who already had a very low level of consciousness or severe neurological impairment before this hospital admission, based on a specific score on a standard medical scale
- People transferred from another hospital where records of their level of consciousness on the day after first arriving at hospital are not available and cannot be worked out from medical history or records
- People whose coma was caused by a serious body-wide infection (sepsis), organ failure, or the effects of sedating medications
- People whose inability to follow commands appears to be caused by a specific type of language difficulty (called receptive aphasia) resulting from a focused area of brain damage, rather than a true coma (confirm with trial site)
- People who are currently imprisoned
