1. Cranial injury caused by traffic accidents and hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage can lead to long-term coma, can you tell us about the current treatment for these patients? With the development of modern medical technology, the survival rate of patients with severe craniocerebral injury or brain hemorrhage has been significantly improved, but the number of patients in long-term coma is increasing. Currently, there are nearly 100,000 new coma patients each year in China and 530,000 new coma patients each year worldwide, causing great suffering and burden to patients and families. In recent years, scholars at home and abroad have been exploring methods to promote wakefulness, and after clinical application, they have achieved very encouraging results, not only can the patients be successfully woken up, but also after later rehabilitation training, many patients have been able to take care of themselves. 2. What is the probability of a vegetative person waking up? How long does it take? Many doctors in China have a misconception, including many professors and experts from large tertiary hospitals, that a coma for 2-3 months is a vegetative state and it is difficult to wake up. Once a patient is pronounced as a “vegetable”, it is bound to give the family an illusion that the probability of the person waking up is very small, so it is better to give up treatment early than to do so. In fact, many patients with traumatic brain injury and cerebral hemorrhage can be awakened as early as possible after coma treatment, and 70% of such coma patients can be awake and will not eventually evolve into a vegetative state. When I say as early as possible, I mean that after the basic stabilization of the intracranial situation, some can start the wake-up treatment a week after the injury. Early wake-up promotion can play a lot of positive roles, reduce complications, lower the patient’s costs, shorten the hospitalization time, and help the patient regain consciousness as early as possible. However, this time is rather long, some take 2-3 months, some take 1-2 years, or even longer. But the family must have confidence and patience. Our aim is that if the family does not give up, we will never give up! 3.What are the techniques and methods to promote the awakening of a vegetative person? In the past, medicine thought that nerve cells were non-renewable, but in fact, modern medicine has overturned this view. Modern medicine has discovered neural stem cells in brain tissue, and they can grow into mature neuronal cells after the nerve cells are damaged. One of the reasons why cranial brain injury leads to coma is because of hematoma compression, and the other is that the nerve conduction bundle is broken, just like a short circuit in an electric wire, the electric current cannot be transmitted and the machine cannot operate. The reason why brain hemorrhage leads to coma is that the short circuit is caused by the compression of hematoma in the early stage. If these patients are still not awake after aggressive treatment, then I have a few more magic words (the more methods the doctor has, the more the patient benefits, if the doctor is out of options, the patient is at the mercy of God). These methods include, for example, electrical stimulation techniques: such as crestal nerve electrical stimulation, median nerve electrical stimulation, vagus nerve electrical stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation, etc., as well as visual, olfactory, auditory, gustatory, tactile, kinesthetic, etc. stimulation, as well as Western medicine, Chinese herbal medicine, through the identification and treatment, waking up the brain, and with acupuncture treatment, all of these techniques can help to wake up those cells that are drowsy after injury. All of these techniques can help to revive and rejuvenate the dormant cells after the injury, thus awakening the patient’s consciousness.
