“…Regarding treatment, peripheral treatment (e.g., physical therapy, speech therapy), pharmacological (i.e., amantadine, zolpidem) and nonpharmacological interventions (i.e., deep brain stimulation, spinal cord Stimulation) have been investigated in the last decade, however, there remain few effective therapies for patients with DOCs (Schiff et al, 2007;Della Pepa et al, 2013;Angelakis et al, 2014;Cossu, 2014;Tucker and Sandhu, 2016). Current evidence suggests that non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) including transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and low-level laser therapy (LLLT), seems to be promising treatments (Thibaut et al, 2014;Xia et al, 2017;Poiani et al, 2018;Huang et al, 2019). For instance, Xia et al (2017) reported that 10 Hz multisession repetitive TMS applied to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has a potential benefit for the rehabilitation of patients with severe DOC, with an increase in CRS-R total scores in 5 out 5 MCS patients and 4 out of 11 VS/UWS patients after 30-day treatment.…”
