Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Clinical Neurology

Background:

  • Recovery of consciousness post-acute brain injury remains incompletely understood.
  • Early clinical stages of recovery are crucial for prognosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and analyze the early clinical stages of consciousness recovery in patients with acute brain injury.
  • To correlate specific clinical signs of arousal and responsiveness during recovery.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Glasgow Coma Scale and Liege Coma Scale items in 48 selected patients.
  • Observed and recorded the sequence of specific clinical responses indicating arousal and consciousness recovery.

Main Results:

  • Confirmed a classical clinical sequence of recovery: stimulated eye opening (E2), blink reflex (R5), eye opening (E4), localizing pain response (M5), and obeying commands (M6).

  • Found significant differences when analyzing the appearance of E2 and R5 separately, suggesting distinct underlying brain recovery processes.

    • Conclusions:

    • The study validates the established sequence of clinical signs during consciousness recovery after brain injury.
    • Distinct patterns in the emergence of early arousal signs (E2, R5) indicate varied structural and functional brain recovery trajectories.
