ChiCTR Registers Trial of BCI Plus tDCS in Disorders of Consciousness

Summary A trial testing a brain-computer interface (BCI) combined with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in patients with disorders of consciousness was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) on May 7, 2026 under the number ChiCTR2600124127, and is now recruiting. The design, sample size and sponsor are not given in the record and would have to be checked against the original registration.

Why it matters In disorders of consciousness the interface doubles as the assessment: a patient who can drive a BCI at all is demonstrating awareness, so adding tDCS makes detection and treatment one procedure. This is China's first registered attempt at that combination, and it is already recruiting.

BCIwiki (bciwiki.com) — A clinical trial evaluating brain-computer interface combined with transcranial direct current stimulation for disorders of consciousness was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) on May 7, 2026. The trial, identified as ChiCTR2600124127, is currently recruiting participants.

Details on trial design, sample size, sponsor, and primary outcome measures require review of the original ChiCTR registration. The registration is disseminated through the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) for global accessibility.
