Clinical Trial Summary

Aims:To explore the consciousness stimulation role of DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) and TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Simulation) for DOC (Disorders of Consciousness) patients.

Methods:Seventy-five DOC patients will be randomised into three groups: DBS group, TMS group and Control group. Three months after treatments, the result will be analysed and concluded.


Clinical Trial Description

To explore the consciousness stimulation role of DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) and TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) for DOC (Disorders of Consciousness) patients. Seventy-five DOC patients will be randomised into three groups: DBS group, TMS group and Control group. These patients will be recorded the conscious level, fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) and EEG evaluation before treatment of research, and three months later the prognosis was also recorded. Finally, the variation of consciousness, prognosis, fMRI and EEG index for three groups will be analyzed and compared. Hopefully, there will be a conclusion for these treatments to DOC patients. ;
