RECENT FINDINGS: Published data are insufficient to make recommendations for or against any of the neurorehabilitative treatments in vegetative state and minimally conscious state patients. Electrophysiological and functional imaging studies have been shown to be useful in measuring residual brain function in noncommunicative brain-damaged patients. Despite the fact that such studies could in principle allow an objective quantification of the putative cerebral effect of rehabilitative treatment in the vegetative state and minimally conscious state, they have so far not been used in this context. SUMMARY: Without controlled studies and careful patient selection criteria it will not be possible to evaluate the potential of therapeutic interventions in disorders of consciousness. There also is a need to elucidate the neurophysiological effects of such treatments. Integration of multimodal neuroimaging techniques should eventually improve our ability to disentangle differences in outcome on the basis of underlying mechanisms and better guide our therapeutic options in the challenging patient populations encountered following severe acute brain damage.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":4.343805421853684,"endowment":4.343805421853684,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"17102688","pmcid":"PMC2858870","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2142152991","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"Austrian Science Fund FWF","grant_id":"J 2470-B02","title":null},{"funder_name":"NINDS NIH HHS","grant_id":"K02 NS002172","title":null},{"funder_name":"NINDS NIH HHS","grant_id":"NS02172","title":null},{"funder_name":"NINDS NIH HHS","grant_id":"NS43451","title":null},{"funder_name":"Medical Research Council","grant_id":"MC_U105559847","title":null},{"funder_name":"Austrian Science Fund FWF","grant_id":"J 2470","title":null},{"funder_name":"NINDS NIH HHS","grant_id":"R21 NS043451","title":null}],"total_grants":7,"fwci":5.2122,"citation_percentile":0.95843979,"influential_citations":1,"citation_trend":[{"year":2012,"count":4},{"year":2013,"count":4},{"year":2014,"count":4},{"year":2015,"count":5},{"year":2016,"count":1},{"year":2017,"count":3},{"year":2018,"count":1},{"year":2020,"count":1},{"year":2021,"count":3},{"year":2022,"count":1},{"year":2024,"count":1}],"oa_status":"green","license":null,"oa_locations":[{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/2858870","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/pmc2858870?pdf=render","host_type":"GREEN"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/2858870","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://journals.lww.com/10.1097/WCO.0b013e3280106ba9","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1097/wco.0b013e3280106ba9","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17102688","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://orbi.uliege.be/handle/2268/33086","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Traumatic Brain Injury Research","Traumatic Brain Injury and Neurovascular Disturbances","Cardiac Arrest and Resuscitation","Medicine","Psychology","Brain","Electroencephalography","Evoked Potentials","Humans","Magnetic Resonance Imaging","Persistent Vegetative State","Positron-Emission Tomography","Predictive Value of Tests","Prognosis"],"mesh_terms":["Brain","Electroencephalography","Evoked Potentials","Humans","Magnetic Resonance Imaging","Predictive Value of Tests","Prognosis","Persistent Vegetative State","Positron-Emission Tomography"],"keywords":["Persistent vegetative state","Minimally conscious state","Neurorehabilitation","Consciousness Disorders","Neuroimaging","Context (archaeology)","Functional neuroimaging","Consciousness","Medicine","Neuroscience","Functional imaging","Rehabilitation","Neurophysiology","Psychology","Physical medicine and rehabilitation"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Good health and well-being"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-07-10T02:37:33.345755Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
