متن کاملDorsal Column Stimulation in Persistent Vegetative State (PVS)
Objectives: The problem of the possibility for treatment of patients in vegetative state remains grossly unresolved, and Dorsal Column Stimulation (DCS) seemed promising in some studies, requiring further attention. Material and Method: A prospective controlled study for 20 consecutive years (1986-2005) was performed on the effect of DCS in 214 patients in persistent vegetative state, resulting...
متن کاملLife expectancy of children in vegetative and minimally conscious states.
We determined estimates of survival in children, 3-15 years of age, in the vegetative state (VS) (n = 564), immobile minimally conscious state (MCS) (n = 705), and mobile MCS (n = 3,806). Data were extracted from the annual Client Development Evaluation Reports of the California Department of Developmental Services between 1988 and 1997 using the operational definitions for these three states o...
