Transcranial Brain Stimulation in Vegetative State Patients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to determine whether transcranial brain stimulations, such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), are effective in terms of EEG coherence and clinical changes in patients in vegetative and minimally conscious state.
