  • Technical (Original)

This study explores if **Intensive Neurowave Emotional Stimulation (INES)** can help improve movement and thinking skills in patients with severe brain injuries who are either in a **Vegetative State (VS)** or have a **Minimally Conscious State (MCS)**. **VS** means the patient is awake but not aware of themselves or their environment. **MCS** means the patient shows minimal but definite awareness of themselves or their surroundings. The study will involve 20 people, aged 18-65, over 18 months at the Piedmont Hospital in Messina, Italy. Participants will get either INES or traditional therapy for 4 weeks. They will have sessions 5 days a week, each lasting 45 minutes. Doctors will track progress through brain activity tests and clinical checkups. Participants will be checked again one month after the study. This study does not involve any drugs.

  • **Study Duration:** 18 months (December 2023 - March 2025)
  • **Sessions:** 5 days a week for 4 weeks, 45 minutes each
  • **Eligibility:** Ages 18-65, with legal guardian consent
