Abstract:Disorders of consciousness (DOC) are often accompanied by aberrant oscillatory neural activity in the thalamus and cerebral cortex. Patient-friendly non-invasive treatments targeting this functional anomaly are still missing. We propose and validate a novel approach that aims to restore DOC patients’ thalamocortical oscillations by combining rhythmic trigeminal-nerve stimulation (TNS) with comodulated musical stimulation. In a cluster-randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, pretest-posttest clinical st… Show more
