Brain Hypoxia clinical trials at UCSF

5 in progress, 4 open to eligible people

Brain hypoxia happens when the brain does not get enough oxygen. UCSF is studying different ways to help people after cardiac arrest by cooling their bodies. Another study looks at babies who had seizures and their genetics. UCSF also tests how cooling affects children after cardiac arrest.

Showing trials for

  • buRst-supprESsion TO Stop Refractory Status Epilepticus Post-cardiac Arrest

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    RESTORE is a randomized clinical trial investigating the safety and feasibility of using EEG treatment targets (burst suppression vs. seizure suppression) for post-cardiac arrest refractory status epilepticus treatment.

  • Influence of Cooling Duration on Efficacy in Cardiac Arrest Patients

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    A multicenter, randomized, adaptive allocation clinical trial to determine if increasing durations of induced hypothermia are associated with an increasing rate of good neurological outcomes and to identify the optimal duration of induced hypothermia for neuroprotection in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest.

  • Pediatric Influence of Cooling Duration on Efficacy in Cardiac Arrest Patients (P-ICECAP)

    open to eligible people ages up to 17 years

    This is a multicenter trial to establish the efficacy of cooling and the optimal duration of induced hypothermia for neuroprotection in pediatric comatose survivors of cardiac arrest. The study team hypothesizes that longer durations of cooling may improve either the proportion of children that attain a good neurobehavioral recovery or may result in better recovery among the proportion already categorized as having a good outcome.

  • Neonatal Seizure Registry, GEnetics of Post-Neonatal Epilepsy

    open to all eligible people

    The NSR-GENE study is a longitudinal cohort study of approximately 300 parent-child trios from the Neonatal Seizure Registry and participating site outpatient clinics that aims to evaluate whether and how genes alter the risk of post-neonatal epilepsy among children with acute provoked neonatal seizures. The researchers aim to develop prediction rules to stratify neonates into low, medium, and high risk for post-neonatal epilepsy based on clinical, electroencephalogram (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and genetic risk factors.

  • Neonatal Seizure Registry - Developmental Functional EValuation

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The NSR-DEV study is a longitudinal cohort study of around 280 Neonatal Seizure Registry participants that aims to evaluate childhood outcomes after acute symptomatic neonatal seizures, as well as examine risk factors for developmental disabilities and whether these are modified by parent well-being.
