Clinical Trial: Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation for Respiratory Recovery in Brain Injury

U.S., Aug. 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07766681) titled 'Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation for Respiratory Recovery in Brain Injury' on Aug. 09.

Brief Summary: Patients with severe brain injury may develop impaired respiratory drive, diaphragm dysfunction, prolonged mechanical ventilation, and difficulty recovering spontaneous breathing. Epidural spinal cord stimulation may activate preserved spinal respiratory circuits and improve respiratory muscle activity. This prospective, single-center, non-randomized, single-arm exploratory study will enroll 10 patients with stroke or traumatic brain injury who have impaired consciousness and require invasive mechanical ventilation. Participants wil...
