Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) showed potential in improving awareness in patients with persistent vegetative state (PVS). Further research is needed to confirm efficacy and identify suitable candidates for this treatment.

Background:

Persistent vegetative state (PVS) presents significant treatment challenges.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has emerged as a potential therapeutic avenue.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the long-term effects of SCS in patients with PVS.
To evaluate the efficacy of SCS in restoring signs of awareness.

Main Methods:

A 20-year observational study involving 214 PVS patients.
Implantation of SCS at the C2-C4 level with a specific stimulation protocol.
Evaluation using a custom-designed efficacy scale to detect awareness.

Main Results:

Positive results observed in 54% of patients (109/201).
Improved outcomes noted in younger patients (<35 years), those with traumatic PVS, and higher cerebral blood flow (>20 mL/100 g/min).

Conclusions:

SCS shows promising results in a subset of PVS patients.
Further evidence-based, randomized controlled trials are essential to validate SCS efficacy and patient selection criteria.
