Unresponsive wakefulness syndrome: a new name for the vegetative state or apallic syndrome
S Laureys, GG Celesia, F Cohadon, J Lavrijsen… - BMC medicine, 2010 - Springer

Sensory stimulation to improve arousal in comatose patients after traumatic brain injury: a systematic review of the literature
Background No standard rehabilitative treatment for coma arousal after traumatic brain
injury (TBI) exists. Based on our clinical experience, we hypothesized that sensory …
