First seen Apr 21, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method called theta-burst patterned temporal interference stimulation (tTIs) to see if it can improve awareness in people with disorders of consciousness, like vegetative or minimally conscious states. About 136 participants will receive either real tTIs or a fake (sham) stimulation twice daily for 5 days. Researchers will measure changes in consciousness using standard tests and brain activity recordings, and follow up for 6 months.
