About this study

Differential diagnosis between Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome (UWS) and Minimally Conscious State (MCS) is complicated due to severe cognitive and/or sensorimotor deficits in these patients. In this study the investigators aimed at exploring the diagnostic and prognostic validity of spontaneous eye blinking parameters (rate, amplitude, duration, variability) in a sample of patients with Disorders of Consciousness (DoC). This is a multi-center prospective observational study conducted in patients with Severe Acquired Brain Injury (sABI) and DoC admitted to 8 European participating centers, with clinical data collection not deviating from routine practice. The study is non-commercial and will have a maximum total duration of 24 months.
