EEG to Identify Attempted Movement in Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome [PDF]
Clinical EEG and Neuroscience, 2020 Assessment of consciousness following severe brain-injury is challenging. Our hypothesis is that electroencephalography (EEG) can provide information on awareness, in terms of oscillatory activity and network task–related modifications, in people with ...

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 ...

Development of a simple score to predict outcome for unresponsive wakefulness syndrome. [PDF]
Crit Care, 2014 Abstract Introduction Accurate assessment of prognosis for patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS; formerly vegetative state) may help clinicians and families guide the type and intensity of therapy; however, there is no suitable and accurate means to predict the outcome so far.

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.

The living dead? Perception of persons in the unresponsive wakefulness syndrome in Germany compared to the USA. [PDF]
BMC Psychol, 2018 The extent to which people ascribe mind to others has been shown to predict the extent to which human rights are conferred. Therefore, in the context of disorders of consciousness (DOC), mind ascription can influence end of life decisions. A previous US-American study indicated that participants ascribed even less mind to patients with unresponsive ...

Visuo-motor integration in unresponsive wakefulness syndrome: A piece of the puzzle towards consciousness detection? [PDF]
Restor Neurol Neurosci, 2015 The unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) is characterized by either a profound unawareness or an impairment of large-scale cortico/subcortical connectivity. Nevertheless, some individuals with UWS could show residual markers of consciousness and cognition.
