Preserved somatosensory discrimination predicts consciousness recovery in unresponsive wakefulness syndrome

Clinical Neurophysiology, 2018
To assess somatosensory discrimination and command following using a vibrotactile P300-based Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) in Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome (UWS), and investigate the predictive role of this cognitive process on the clinical outcomes.Thirteen UWS patients and six healthy controls each participated in two experimental runs in which ...

The use of amantadine in patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome after severe cerebral hemorrhage

Brain Injury, 2020
Amantadine is currently recommended for use in patients of post-traumatic brain injury with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS). However, the application of amantadine in UWS after cerebral hemorrhage has only been rarely reported. This allows for a further exploration of the role of amantadine in the treatment of UWS resulting from a severe ...

Emerging from an unresponsive wakefulness syndrome: Brain plasticity has to cross a threshold level

Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2013
Unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS, previously known as vegetative state) occurs after patients survive a severe brain injury. Patients suffering from UWS have lost awareness of themselves and of the external environment and do not retain any trace of their subjective experience.

Unresponsive wakefulness syndrome.

Archives italiennes de biologie, 2012
Recent studies providing evidence for preserved awareness in some behaviorally unresponsive patients stress the need to improve diagnosis in patients with disorders of consciousness - and stress the possible dissociation between responsiveness and preserved consciousness.

Polysomnographic Sleep Patterns in Children and Adolescents in Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome

Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, 2015
We aimed (i) to search for qualitative sleep patterns for pediatric unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (SPPUWS) in prolonged polysomnographic (PSG) recordings in children and adolescents with subacute severe disorders of consciousness due to an acquired brain damage; (ii) to investigate the clinical relevance of SPPUWS and of possible neurophysiological

Transitory Vegetative State/unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome: Does it Exist?

2012
Since the invention of the artificial respirator in the 1950s, many patients who previously did not survive their severe traumatic or hypoxic-ischemic brain damage and coma can now be artificially ventilated and their cardiac circulation sustained. This has led to the redefinition of death based on neurological criteria (i.e., brain death) and the ...

[Unresponsive wakefulness syndrome: clinical predictors of late recovery.]

Recenti progressi in medicina, 2018
Patients affected by the outcomes of serious traumatic and/or non-traumatic brain injury may show progressive recovery characterized by a broad spectrum of clinical conditions, which are often not completely different, but of differing seriousness. The unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) are syndromes that may ...
