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.

Eligibility criteria

Disqualifiers

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…)
