Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary  

Patients will be screened depending upon the inclusion criteria. Informed consent to participate in the study shall be taken from the guardian of the patients. Provision for re-consent will be made once the patient is cognitively capable. The patients will be allocated to 2 groups ie) control group and experimental group. A block randomization method will be used for allocation.

              Control group will be administered with the conventional coma arousal technique that uses various stimuli viz.) music for auditory stimulation, photos for visual stimulation, touch for tactile stimulation, familiar smell as olfactory stimulation, etc. single stimuli or a combination of them will be used.

              The experimental group will be administered with the newly developed therapy –“subject-specific integrated multisensory stimulation program” A detailed history about likes and dislikes of the patients will be taken on 3 domains 1) personal, professional and recreational. Depending upon it, a functional task will be made for the patient that includes various stimuli like auditory, tactile, proprioceptive, gustatory, etc. taking into consideration its feasibility Various functional tasks that include all the stimuli or a combination of them will be used for the patient. 

             The duration of treatment will be the same for both the groups – 45 minutes thrice a day for 14 days. Vitals, GCS, ABS, FOUR, CRS-R, DOCS-25 will be taken at the time of admission, every day as a form of reassessment till the 14th day. Length of stay and GOS-E scores shall be taken at the time of discharge.
