Optimizing the Evaluation of Awareness in Disorders of Consciousness (CONPHIDENSE)

December 10, 2015 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon

Using High-resolution Electroencephalography to Optimize the Evaluation of Awareness in Patients With Disorders of Consciousness

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether personalized stimulations can improve the detection of electrophysiological signs of awareness in patients with disorders of consciousness.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of participants showing differences of electrophysiological activity after personalized but not standard stimulation protocols
Time Frame: standard stimulations: 28 days after recruiting patients

Depending of the personalized stimulation protocol, the differences of electrophysiological activity can the presence of event-related potentials (N100, mismatch negativity, P300, etc.) or alterations of neural oscillations.

The personalized stimulation protocol will be chosen according to the families' feeling of a presence.
