Combined behavioral and EEG evidence for the 70 Hz frequency selection of short-term spinal cord stimulation in disorders of consciousness.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study investigated the prognostic effect of electroencephalography (EEG) instant effects of single spinal cord stimulation (SCS) on clinical outcome in disorders of consciousness (DOC) and the time-dependent brain response during the recovery of consciousness prompted by SCS.

Methods

Twenty three patients with DOC underwent short-term SCS (stSCS) implantation operation. Then, all patients received the postoperative EEG test including EEG record before (T1) and after (T2) single SCS session. Subsequently, 2 weeks stSCS treatment was performed and revised coma recovery scale (CRS-R) and EEG data were collected. Finally, they were classified into effective and ineffective groups at 3-month follow-up (T6).

Results
