Public Perception of the Vegetative State/Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome: A Crowdsourced Study [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Background: The vegetative state (VS)/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) denotes brain-injured, awake patients who are seemingly without awareness. Still, up to 15% of these patients show signs of covert consciousness when examined by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) or EEG, which is known as cognitive motor dissociation (CMD).

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.

Sleep in the Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome and Minimally Conscious State [PDF]

Journal of Neurotrauma, 2013
The goal of our study was to investigate different aspects of sleep, namely the sleep-wake cycle and sleep stages, in the vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (VS/UWS), and minimally conscious state (MCS). A 24-h polysomnography was performed in 20 patients who were in a UWS (n=10) or in a MCS (n=10) because of brain injury. The data were
