The Vegetative and Minimally Conscious States

Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, 2005
In the last 2 decades, the minimally conscious state has been distinguished conceptually from the vegetative state and operational criteria for these diagnoses have been published. Standardized and individualized assessment tools have been developed to assist with the diagnosis of severe disorders of consciousness and the measurement of clinical ...

Incidence and prevalence of the vegetative and minimally conscious states

Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, 2005
The 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

2005
Twenty-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

2020
A 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.

Bilateral M1 anodal transcranial direct current stimulation in post traumatic chronic minimally conscious state: a pilot EEG-tDCS study

Brain Injury, 2019
Objective: We tested the preliminary effects of bilateral anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in patients with disorders of consciousness. Design: Open label pilot study.

Neurophysiological patterns of vegetative and minimally conscious states

Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, 2005
This 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.

Medical aspects of the minimally conscious state in children

Brain and Development, 2003
The minimally conscious state is a condition of severely altered consciousness in which minimal but definite behavioral evidence of self or environmental awareness is demonstrated. This must be established on a reproducible or sustained basis by one or more of four types of behaviors including simple command-following, gestural or verbal 'yes/no ...

The minimally conscious state: defining the borders of consciousness

2005
There 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,

Minimally Conscious State and Human Dignity

Neuroethics, 2008
Recent 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.
