Multicenter Study Observational Study
Risk factors for EEG seizures in neonates treated with hypothermia: a multicenter cohort study.
To assess the risk factors for electrographic seizures among neonates treated with therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). ⋯ Electrographic seizures are common among neonates with HIE undergoing hypothermia and are difficult to predict based on clinical features. These results justify the recommendation for cEEG monitoring in neonates treated with hypothermia.

Randomized Controlled Trial
tDCS in patients with disorders of consciousness: sham-controlled randomized double-blind study.
We assessed the effects of left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex transcranial direct current stimulation (DLPF-tDCS) on Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) scores in severely brain-damaged patients with disorders of consciousness. ⋯ This study provides Class II evidence that short-duration tDCS of the left DLPF cortex transiently improves consciousness as measured by CRS-R assessment in patients with MCS.
