Prefrontal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Patients with Disorders of Consciousness: A Multicentre, Randomised, Double-Blind, Sham-Controlled Clinical Trial
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has shown to transiently improve the level of consciousness of severely brain-injured patients in disorders of consciousness, and seems to be effective especially for patients in minimally conscious state (MCS) compared with patients in unresponsive wakefulness syndrome.
