About this trial

The main aim of this study is to develop a new technique for the passive diagnosis of cognitive-motor dissociation, with the detection of motor intention in a comatose patient by analysing the EEG signal and in particular the ERD/ERS amplitudes in the motor cortex after stimulation of the median nerve.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Patients must be aged 18 years or over;

Patients must be admitted to the intensive care unit with a cerebrovascular pathology;

Patients must be in a comatose state with a Glasgow score strictly less than 8, 24 hours after stopping sedation.

Representative of the patient informed of the research and not objecting to it, information and collection of the participant's non-objection if recovery of the ability to understand the content of the information note,

Disqualifiers

Bilateral lesions of the motor cortex or cortico-spinal fasciculus,

Cutaneous infection of the scalp or any other lesion making surface electroencephalography impossible,

Patient whose short-term survival (48 - 72 hours) seems compromised,

Severe peripheral neuromyopathy,
