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 ...

Coherence in resting-state EEG as a predictor for the recovery from unresponsive wakefulness syndrome

Journal of Neurology, 2016
We investigated differences of EEG coherence within (short-range), and between (long-range) specified brain areas as diagnostic markers for different states in disorders of consciousness (DOC), and their predictive value for recovery from unresponsive ...
