Summary

This study is testing whether combining a gentle nerve stimulation (taVNS) with a robotic tilt table can safely help people with long-term consciousness disorders after brain injury. Fifteen participants will undergo a 12-week rehabilitation program. The goal is to see if this paired approach improves arousal, awareness, and functional recovery better than standard care alone.
