Transcranial temporal interference stimulation of the thalamus in a patient with disorders of consciousness: a case report
Pu Wang
BackgroundProlonged disorders of consciousness (pDoC) are conditions with impaired consciousness lasting over 28 days, including coma, vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (VS/UWS), and minimally conscious state (MCS). Existing treatments offer limited benefit. Although thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) has shown potential to improve cognitive and behavioral function, its invasiveness limits clinical use.
