Auditory Stimulation Modulates Resting-State Functional Connectivity in Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome Patients [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Passive listening to music is associated with several psychological and physical benefits in both, healthy and diseased populations. In this fMRI study, we examined whether preferred music has effects on the functional connectivity within resting-state ...

Unresponsive wakefulness syndrome: a new name for the vegetative state or apallic syndrome [PDF]
BMC Medicine, 2010 Background Some patients awaken from coma (that is, open the eyes) but remain unresponsive (that is, only showing reflex movements without response to command). This syndrome has been coined vegetative state.

Sleep/Wake Modulation of Polysomnographic Patterns has Prognostic Value in Pediatric Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome. [PDF]
J Clin Sleep Med, 2016 Sleep patterns of pediatric patients in unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) have been poorly investigated, and the prognostic potential of polysomnography (PSG) in these subjects is still uncertain. The goal of the study was to identify quantitative PSG indices to be applied as possible prognostic markers in pediatric UWS.We performed PSG in 27 ...

Predicting outcome from subacute unresponsive wakefulness syndrome or vegetative state. [PDF]
Crit Care, 2014 AbstractPredicting recovery of consciousness in patients who survive their coma but evolve to a vegetative state (recently coined unresponsive wakefulness syndrome) remains a challenge. Most previous prognostic studies have focused on the acute coma phase.

Brain processing of pain in patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome. [PDF]
Brain Behav, 2013 AbstractBy definition, patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) do not experience pain, but it is still not completely understood how far their brain can process noxious stimuli. The few positron emission tomography studies that have examined pain processing did not yield a clear and consistent result.
