Prevalence of the Minimally Conscious State Among Institutionalized Patients in the Netherlands: A Nationwide Study. [PDF]

Neurology, 2023
Background and Objectives The minimally conscious state (MCS) is a prolonged disorder of consciousness (pDoC) and one of the most severe outcomes of acquired brain injury. Prevalence data are scarce.

Efficacy of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Over Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Patients With Minimally Conscious State. [PDF]

Front Neurol, 2022
Background The treatment of patients in a minimally conscious state (MCS) remains challenging. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive therapeutic method in treating neurologic diseases by regulating the cortical excitability ...

Whole-brain glucose metabolic pattern differentiates minimally conscious state from unresponsive wakefulness syndrome. [PDF]

CNS Neurosci Ther
The patient being minimally conscious state (MCS) may benefit from wake‐up interventions aimed at improving quality of life and have a higher probability of recovering higher level of consciousness compared to patients with the unresponsive wakefulness ...
