Severe brain injury can lead to acute or chronic disorders of consciousness (DOC),and the latter represents a more critical challenge in diagnosis and management.For most chronic unconsciousness survivors with preserved sleepwake cycles,including vegetative state (VS) and minimally conscious state (MCS),levels of consciousness are commonly monitored and determined based on behavioral evidence.VS,also termed unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS),is characterized by complete absence of awareness and may be associated with poor recovery,while MCS exhibit discernible behavioral signs of environmental or self-awareness [1].
