About this study

The goal of this observation study is to learn about the prediction value of combined electroencephalographic and electromyographic response in disorders of consciousness.

The main ways of stimulation is thermal and itch. Six months after inclusion in the study, patients were classified according to the Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended, (GOSE).

Being tested
