About this study
Official title: The Consciousness Variation of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for Disorders of Consciousness(DOC) Patients in a Large Scale Randomised Trial
Aims:To explore the consciousness stimulation role of DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) and TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Simulation) for DOC (Disorders of Consciousness) patients.
Methods:Seventy-five DOC patients will be randomised into three groups: DBS group, TMS group and Control group. Three months after treatments, the result will be analysed and concluded.
Read the detailed description
To explore the consciousness stimulation role of DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) and TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) for DOC (Disorders of Consciousness) patients. Seventy-five DOC patients will be randomised into three groups: DBS group, TMS group and Control group. These patients will be recorded the conscious level, fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) and EEG evaluation before treatment of research, and three months later the prognosis was also recorded. Finally, the variation of consciousness, prognosis, fMRI and EEG index for three groups will be analyzed and compared. Hopefully, there will be a conclusion for these treatments to DOC patients.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation means stimulate the brain with magnetic stimulation.
Routine treatmentOther
Means without above additional treatment.

What does the primary outcome measure?
The consciousness variation of DBS and TMS for DOC Patients in a large scale randomised trial (revised-coma recovery scale) (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jun 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
