Introduction: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has shown encouraging results in patients with Disorders of Consciousness (DoC), yet its efficacy and mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) tDCS on Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) scores and EEG activity in severely brain-injured DoC patients. Methods: In...

For instance, the existence of states of vigilance free...
