When, How, and to What Extent Are Individuals with Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome Able to Progress? Functional Independence. [PDF]

Brain Sci, 2020
Accurate estimation of the functional independence of patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) is essential to adjust family and clinical expectations and plan long-term necessary resources.

Unresponsive wakefulness syndrome: Outcomes from a vicious circle. [PDF]

Ann Neurol, 2020
T he unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS), also known as the vegetative state (VS), is one of the most dramatic outcomes of acquired brain injury. Despite spon-taneous eye opening and independent vital functions, VS/UWS patients cannot functionally ...

The effect of cranioplasty on outcomes and complications of unresponsive wakefulness syndrome and minimally responsive state

Brain Impairment
Background Studies that have shown neurological improvement following cranioplasty (CP) after decompressive craniectomy (DC) in patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) did not include control groups.

Advances in the neurorehabilitation of severe disorder of consciousness [PDF]

Annali dell'Istituto Superiore di Sanità, 2014
Introduction. The paper describes the evolution of knowledge concerning severe brain injury which determines the Vegetative State/Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome. Background. The term Vegetative State was proposed by Jennet and Plum in 1972.

EEG to Identify Attempted Movement in Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome

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 ...

Functional connectivity in whole-brain and network analysis differentiates minimally conscious from unresponsive patients: a resting-state fNIRS study [PDF]

Journal of Translational Medicine
Background Accurately assessing and detecting residual awareness in patients with vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (VS/UWS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) remains significant challenges.

Pupil constrictions to subjective brightness as a gateway to probe consciousness in non communicating patients [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Retinal illumination primarily determines pupil size, yet extra-retinal factors like subjective brightness also influence pupillary responses. Previous works reported that in healthy individuals, stimuli whose semantic content evokes brightness cause ...
