Brief summary
test
Detailed description
Neurostimulation techniques such as deep brain stimulation (DBS) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) have been used to treat DOC. Although these techniques have been shown to increase patient response, there are still some limitations. For example, DBS requires craniotomy and may increase the risk of intracranial hemorrhage and infection. In addition, the complexity and cost of these technologies also limit their potential applications.
