Summary

A randomized controlled study was conducted to explore the efficacy of early transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to promote wakefulness in patients with disorder of consciousness (DOC). In order to improve the prognosis of DOC patients with nontraumatic brain injury, we compared the effects of tDCS and rTMS on clinical behavior and neurophysiological performance, and selected a wake-up technique that could improve the prognosis of DOC patients with nontraumatic brain injury as early as possible, so as to reduce the pain of patients and their loved ones, and to reduce the economic burden of society and families.
