OBJECTIVE: The efficacy of deep brain stimulation in disorders of consciousness remains inconclusive. We investigated bilateral 30-Hz low-frequency stimulation designed to overdrive neuronal activity by dual pallido-thalamic targeting, using the Coma Recovery Scale Revised (CRS-R) to assess conscious behavior.
METHODS: We conducted a prospective, single center, observational 11-month pilot study comprising four phases: baseline (2 months); surgery and titration (1 month); blind, random, crossover, 1.5-month ON and OFF periods; and unblinded, 5-month stimulation ON. Five adult patients were included: one unresponsive-wakefulness-syndrome male (traumatic brain injury); and four patients in a minimally conscious state, one male (traumatic brain injury) and three females (two hemorrhagic strokes and one traumatic brain injury). Primary outcome measures focused on CRS-R scores. Secondary outcome measures focused notably on baseline brain metabolism and variation in activity (stimulation ON - baseline) using normalized fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography maps. Statistical analysis used random-effect models.
RESULTS: The two male patients (one minimally conscious and one unresponsive wakefulness syndrome) showed improved mean CRS-R scores (stimulation ON vs. baseline), in auditory, visual and oromotor/verbal subscores, and visual subscores respectively. The metabolism of the medial cortices (low at baseline in all five patients) increased specifically in the two responders.
INTERPRETATION: Our findings show there were robust but limited individual clinical benefits, mainly in visual and auditory processes. Overall modifications seem linked to the modulation of thalamo-cortico-basal and tegmental loops activating default mode network cortices. Specifically, in the two responders there was an increase in medial cortex activity related to internal awareness.
