Patients with observed loss of consciousness or amnesia and Glasgow Coma Scale 13-15 should have a head computed tomography scan as part of their evaluation to avoid missing an intracranial injury.

New research shows that post-coma patients who appear to be in a minimally conscious state can still mentally react to language. This finding could help improve their diagnosis and treatment.

At admission, the median Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score was 6, indicating severe brain injury. Sleep patterns were assessed on 530 overnight EEGs; the median number of EEGs per patient was 2.
