Incidence and prevalence of the vegetative and minimally conscious states
Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, 2005The methodological difficulties of obtaining accurate epidemiological data for vegetative state (VS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) are considered, and prompt the conclusion that published data are of uncertain validity, partly due to variation in the criteria for diagnosis.

DBS therapy for the vegetative state and minimally conscious state
2005Twenty-one cases of a vegetative state (VS) and 5 cases of a minimally conscious state (MCS) caused by various kinds of brain damage were evaluated neurologically and electrophysiologically at 3 months after brain injury. These cases were treated by deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy, and followed up for over 10 years.

Minimally Conscious and Vegetative State
2020A small number of patients develop a disorder of consciousness (DOC) after surviving severe traumatic brain injury (STBI), meaning that after cessation of sedation they show no (vegetative state (VS)) or limited and fluctuating (minimally conscious state (MCS)) behavioural signs of consciousness.

Neurophysiological patterns of vegetative and minimally conscious states
Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, 2005This paper reviews the possible usefulness of electroencephalogram (EEG) and evoked potential (EP) recording in vegetative and poorly-responsive patients. There is a marked inter-individual EEG and EP variability, which reflects the state heterogeneity.

The minimally conscious state: defining the borders of consciousness
2005There is no agreement as to where the limits of consciousness lie, or even if these putative borders exist. Problems inherent to the study of consciousness continue to confound efforts to establish a universally accepted theory of consciousness. Consequently, clinical definitions of consciousness and unconsciousness are unavoidably arbitrary. Recently,

Misclassifying the Minimally Conscious State Patients
AJOB Neuroscience, 2018Vukov (2018) maintains that minimally conscious state (MCS) patients are to be treated medically differently from vegetative state (VS) patients, not only because they differ from the latter in the...

Minimally Conscious State and Persistent Vegetative State
2019Abstract Advances in critical care medicine have allowed for more patients to survive catastrophic brain injuries. However, the degree of recovery from serious neurologic injury is highly variable. An acute, severe neurologic insult can cause a state of pathologic unconsciousness referred to as a coma.

Minimally Conscious State and Human Dignity
Neuroethics, 2008Recent progress in neurosciences has improved our understanding of chronic disorders of consciousness. One example of this advancement is the emergence of the new diagnostic category of minimally conscious state (MCS). The central characteristic of MCS is impaired consciousness.
