Review[Indications, effectiveness and tolerance of the rehabilitation techniques aimed at improving recovery of awareness following a traumatic brain injury].
In the context of a consensus conference, this review aims at identifying through a comprehensive review and critical analysis of the literature the different rehabilitation programs used to promote the level of consciousness of brain injured patients. ⋯ Because of these methodological flaws and despite the good results claimed by the authors, there is up to date no evidence that clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of sensory stimulation or sensory regulation programs. Further clinical research in this area is necessary.
