Back from the dead... electricity applied deep in the brain can jolt patients out of irreversible comas.

| In November 1994, when Ivey was 17, a log truck T-boned her Chevy Blazer. She remembers nothing of the next two months. But it's all seared into the memory of her mother, Elaine, especially the part where the doctors told her that Candice, who was in a coma and breathing by respirator, should be pronounced dead. Her brain, they said, was entirely and irreversibly destroyed by a week of swelling and bleeding and being pushed up against the inside of her skull like a ship scuttled on a reef. A few days later, however, Candice proved the doctors wrong. Unhooked from the respirator, she continued to breathe on her own - something she couldn't have done if she were truly brain-dead. Now Elaine faced the horrible decision of whether or not to feed her child. The doctors warned her that Candice would probably never wake up, and if she did, she almost certainly would be unable to live independently. In the worst case, she would enter the permanent twilight known as a persistent vegetative state, in which she might sleep and wake and move her limbs, yawn and sneeze and utter sounds, but not in a way that was purposeful. Elaine decided to keep the feeding tube in place, which, she recalls, made the neurosurgeon furious. "He thought I was just prolonging her agony and that I would have a vegetable on my hands," she says. "But when it's your child lying there, you'll do anything." |

It seems the Japanese has less doubts then us in North America on this technique. I hope more tests are done to see what voltage levels ect work best.
The technique for waking her aside this is truly amazing that she woke and was functional a true miracle.

I agree more research is needed to find out the best voltage that is needed in these cases. It could come down to a variable since everyone may react differently to different voltages. What works in one person may not work in another. Kind of like some of the meds we have now. I am sure that this ground breaking treatment will go on and we will see it being more widely accepted and used in the future.
