Clinical management of the minimally conscious state
2015The minimally conscious state (MCS) was defined as a disorder of consciousness (DoC) distinct from the vegetative state more than a decade ago. While this condition has become widely recognized, there are still no guidelines to steer the approach to assessment and treatment.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
