Evaluation of pressure-induced pain in patients with disorders of consciousness based on functional near infrared spectroscopy
Although pain-induced brain activation was minimal in patients with DoC, enhanced functional connectivity during pain stimulation suggests that the brain continues to process pain information through coordinated activity between regions. The findings highlight the importance of assessing functional connectivity as a potential method for evaluating pain processing in patients with DoC.
