“…There is broad evidence that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as well as deep brain stimulation (DBS) may be used for therapeutic purposes and that both types of stimulation interfere with cortical functions (Däuper et al, 2002; Rollnik et al, 2003). One comatose patient was treated with rTMS of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) daily over 6 weeks (thirty sessions with 300 trains) demonstrating slight improvements of awareness (Louise-Bender Pape et al, 2009).…”

This review presents an overview of the use of music therapy in neurological early rehabilitation of patients with coma and other disorders of consciousness (DOC) such as unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) or minimally conscious state (MCS). There is evidence that patients suffering from UWS show emotional processing of auditory information, such as listening to speech. Thus, it seems reasonable to believe that music listening—as part of an enriched environment setting—may be of therapeutic value in these patients. There is, however, a considerable lack of evidence. The authors strongly encourage further studies to evaluate the efficacy of music listening in patients with DOC in neurological early rehabilitation. These studies should consider a precise clinical definition and homogeneity of the patient cohort with respect to the quality (coma vs. UWS vs. MCS), duration (rather weeks to months than days) and cause (traumatic vs. non-traumatic) of DOC, a standardized intervention protocol, valid clinical outcome parameters over a longer observation period (weeks to months), monitoring of neurophysiological and vegetative parameters and, if available, neuroimaging to confirm diagnosis and to demonstrate responses and functional changes in the patients' brains.

“…Multiple sites have been tested including prefrontal cortex, motor cortex, and parietal cortex (Andre-Obadia et al, 2006;Lefaucher et al, 2001;Lefaucheur, 2004;Lefaucheur et al, 2001;Pridmore and Oberoi, 2000;Rollnik et al, 2003). In general, TMS provides effective pain relief in these different locations in diverse pain conditions.…”

Although the preceding chapters discuss much of the new knowledge of neurocircuitry of neuropsychiatric diseases, and an invasive approach to treatment, this chapter describes and reviews the noninvasive methods of testing circuit-based theories and treating neuropsychiatric diseases that do not involve implanting electrodes into the brain or on its surface. These techniques are transcranial magnetic stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation, and transcranial direct current stimulation. Two of these approaches have FDA approval as therapies.
