HD-tDCS Combined With Circadian Rhythm Reconstruction and Micro Expression Changes on Consciousness Recovery in Patients With Chronic Disturbance of Consciousness

The circadian rhythm characteristics of sleep cycle and neuroendocrine in patients with chronic disorder of consciousness show different degrees of disorder, and the relationship between this disorder and consciousness level is unclear.The researchers used HD-tDCS to treat patients with chronic disturbance of consciousness who intervened in circadian rhythm, and used a variety of methods such as EEG, fMRI, protein metabolism, ERP and micro-expression to explore the mechanism of improving the state of consciousness of HD-DCS and the relationship between circadian rhythm and patients' consciousness level

The sleep status (\> 24 hours) of patients with chronic disturbance of consciousness was recorded with the revised coma recovery scale revised (CRS-R) and Polysomnography (PSG). The sleep cycle of patients with chronic disturbance of consciousness was judged by the open and close eyes cycle and EEG. Patients with circadian rhythm treated with or without blue light stimulation and melatonin were treated with HD-tDCS. EEG, fMRI, protein metabolism, ERP and micro expression data were recorded before and after treatment.Explore the mechanism of improving the state of consciousness of HD-DCS and the relationship between circadian rhythm and patients' consciousness level
