The purpose of this study was to check the effect of choice-based sensory stimulation as a coma stimulation technique on traumatic brain injury.
30 subjects diagnosed with traumatic brain injury were included in this study. These subjects were divided into two groups using convenient sampling method with random allocation. The subjects with Glass gow Coma Scale score 3–8 were included. Pre-treatment and post-treatment assessment for both the groups was carried out by using WNSSP(WNSSP). This outcome measure was analyzed.
The choice-based sensory stimulation showed the significance improvement in arousal response according to WNSSP. The P value was <0.0001, which is statistically significant.
the present study provided evidence to support the use of choice-based sensory stimulation as it is more effective than conventional coma arousal techniques in coma arousal on traumatic brain injury.
