The LNS was composed by three phases of 25 seconds 1) phase A: acoustic stimulus 1 associated to a musical stimulus 2) phase B: acoustic stimulus 2 associated to the nociceptive stimulus 3) acoustic stimulus 2 associate to absence of stimuli. The consciousness status was assessed in the three successive weeks by CRS-R and NCS. A protocol of classic conditional learning of the nociceptive stimulus (LNS) was applied and results evaluated by GSR analysis. Materials and Method Where recruited 13 healthy control subject (HC) and 20 UWS patients (hospitalized from no more of 15 days). The support of the Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) in the assessment of the nociception stimuli could be represent a useful support to evaluate the level of consciousness in patients with DOC.

Background The correct diagnosis is a challenge and the assessment, by behavioral scales as Coma Recovery Scale (CSR-R) and Nociception Coma Scale (NCS), remains the best and simple way to assess the level of consciousness.
