Top Coma Experts Seek to Improve Patient Outcomes
Leading coma experts have created an ambitious plan to help doctors better care for comatose patients.

Scientists Attempt To Jumpstart Coma Patients' Brains Using Ultrasound Blasts
In 2016, a team led by UCLA's Martin Monti reported that a 25-year-old man recovering from a coma had made remarkable progress following a treatment to jump-start his brain using ultrasound. Now, the team have attempted to awaken the brains of two more patients.
News
Brain scans may help predict recovery from coma
Brain scans of people in a coma may help predict who will regain consciousness, according to a study published in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The study looked at connections between areas of the brain that play a role in regulating consciousness.
News
Assessing a Coma Patient's Consciousness Could Be Made Easier by Brain Imaging Approach
One of the greatest challenges in the field of neurology and intensive care medicine is correctly diagnosing the level of consciousness of a patient in coma due to severe brain injury. Scientists have now explored new techniques that may pave the way to better tell apart two different neurological conditions.
News
A New Signature for Dream Sleep Could Make Monitoring Coma Patients Easier
When we dream, our brains are filled with noisy electrical activity that looks nearly identical to that of the awake brain. Now, researchers have pulled a signal out of the noise that uniquely defines dreaming, or REM sleep, potentially making it easier to monitor people with sleep disorders, as well as unconscious coma patients or those under anesthesia.
News
Prolonged Anesthesia Alters the Architecture of the Brain
The findings support reports of neuro-cognitive changes after medically induced comas, a procedure that has been relied upon in treating many COVID-19 patients during the pandemic.
News
Heartbeat Signal Could Detect Consciousness After a Coma
A new study shows that measuring heart-brain interactions using electroencephalography (EEG), provides a novel diagnostic avenue for patients with disorders of consciousness.
News
A Potential Treatment for Autoimmune Encephalitis
Scientists have developed a potential new treatment for autoimmune encephalitis, a condition described as a "fire in the brain" by patients.
News
A Better Way To Measure Consciousness
A small number of patients administered general anesthesia regain some awareness during medical procedures, but a new study of the brain activity that represents consciousness could prevent that potential trauma. It may also help both people in comas and scientists struggling to define which parts of the brain can claim to be key to the conscious mind.
