Electromagnetic Brain Stimulation in Patients With Disorders of Consciousness
Bourdillon P, Hermann B, Sitt JD, Naccache L
Frontiers in Neuroscience · 2019
Key finding
Surgical techniques less invasive than DBS, such as vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) might represent a good compromise between efficacy and invasiveness but still need to be further investigated.
