Caring for patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) such as unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (vegetative state) or minimally conscious state and related conditions such as locked-in syndrome currently represent a financial, medical and ethical conundrum. Although severe brain injuries represent a fraction of the population with brain injury, their cost is enormous (around $4 billion in direct medical costs per year), mostly due to the long-term care they need. The impressive number of studies performed on disorders of consciousness in the last decade has allowed refining diagnosis criteria, acquiring a better understanding of prognosis, and developing new tools to care and treat this challenging population. In this context, recently published milestone papers have provided new guidelines to clinicians for managing patients with DOC. This should lead to a shift in mentality and in the way we care for these patients.
This book brings together researchers and clinicians to write about recent and future changes that will altogether improve the outcome of patients with DOC.

Dr Schnakers has been working as a clinical scientist in the neurorehabilitation field for the past 15 years. She focuses her research on brain-injured patients with Disorders of Consciousness (DOC) and, more particularly, on the assessment of their brain activity and cognitive functions using behavioral, electrophysiological and neuroimaging techniques. She has published more than 100 articles (H-index: 52) in international peer reviewed journals such as Neurology, Annals of Neurology, Nature Reviews Neurology and Lancet. She serves as the chair of the Special Interest Group on DOC for the International Brain Injury Association and she is actively involved in the Curing Coma Campaign. She currently works as assistant director at the Research Institute of Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare (Pomona, CA).
Neurologist and Clinical Professor at the Brain Center of the University Hospital of Liège, Research Director at the FNRS, Steven Laureys directed, until the beginning of 2020, the Coma Science Group which he created in 2014 within the GIGA Consciousness center of the University of Liege. Most of his research work is devoted to the study of altered consciousness in severely brain-damaged patients (coma, unresponsive vegetative/awake state, minimally conscious state, locked-in syndrome), as well as during anesthesia, sleep, meditation and in the hypnotic state.
