Abstract:
We investigated the efficacy of applying a programme of multisensory stimulation to patients with severe diffuse traumatic brain injury, during their admission to a tertiary neurosurgical intensive care unit. We attempted to determine the nature and extent of any physiological or biochemical changes occurring as a result of the multisensory stimulation in the initial period of their comatose state. The findings were inconclusive with no significant treatment effect demonstrated.
