Abstract
PURPOSE This review was intended to provide an overall picture of work conducted during the last decade to assess the impact of behavioral intervention strategies on people with disorders of consciousness (i.e., comatose state, vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness, or minimally conscious state). The intervention strategies considered were those not based on music or including music as a component of the intervention package. METHODS Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist, a scoping review was carried out to identify and provide a synthesis of eligible studies published in English during the 2010-2021 period. Three databases (i.e., PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science) were employed for the literature search. RESULTS Forty studies met the inclusion criteria. Those studies were grouped into three categories based on whether they assessed the effects of: (i) verbal stories/messages, (ii) multiple stimulation, and (iii) response-contingent stimulation. Then, a narrative synthesis of the studies of each of the three categories was provided to specify the types of patients involved, the intervention and assessment conditions implemented, and the outcome attained. CONCLUSIONS The evidence reported in most of the studies might be considered encouraging and convincing. Even so, it might be very difficult to view the evidence of the various studies cumulatively and make general/conclusive statements due to a number of differences in the intervention conditions applied.Implications for rehabilitationAn informative picture of the studies using behavioral interventions with people with disorders of consciousness is essential to any professional working in the area.Such picture can be highly useful in providing a view of the intervention strategies used for those people, of the variations existing within and across strategies, and of the evidence available.An analysis of the strategies, their implementation and their effects may provide new insights for improving those strategies and eventually increasing their impact.The individuals charged with the implementation process (e.g., family members or nurses) may have a relevant influence on the overall impact of the strategy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Historically, heterogeneous outcome assessments have been used to measure recovery of consciousness in patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) following traumatic brain injury (TBI), making it difficult to compare across studies. To date, however, there is no comprehensive review of clinical outcome assessments that are used in intervention studies of adults with DoC. The objective of this scoping review is to develop a comprehensive inventory of clinical outcome assessments for recovery of consciousness that have been used in clinical studies of adults with DoC following TBI. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The methodological framework for this review is: (1) identify the research questions, (2) identify relevant studies, (3) select studies, (4) chart the data, (5) collate, summarise and report results and (6) consult stakeholders to drive knowledge translation. We will identify relevant studies by searching the following electronic bibliographic databases: PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, PsycINFO and The Cochrane Library (including Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Cochrane Methodology Register). Criteria for article inclusion are published in the English-language, peer-reviewed studies of interventions aimed at facilitating recovery of consciousness among adults (> 18 years) with DoC following a severe TBI, published from January 1986 to December 2020. Articles meeting inclusion criteria at this stage will undergo a full text review. We will chart the data by applying the WHO International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Framework to identify the content areas of clinical outcome assessments. To support knowledge translation efforts, we will involve clinicians and researchers experienced in TBI care throughout the project from conceptualisation of the study through dissemination of results. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION No ethical approval is required for this study as it is not determined to be human subjects research. Results will be presented at national conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42017058383.

Music Stimulation for People with Disorders of Consciousness: A Scoping Review. Brain Sci 2021; 11:brainsci11070858. [PMID: 34203250 PMCID: PMC8301821 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci11070858] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2021] [Revised: 06/22/2021] [Accepted: 06/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Music stimulation is considered to be a valuable form of intervention for people with severe brain injuries and prolonged disorders of consciousness (i.e., unresponsive wakefulness/vegetative state or minimally conscious state). This review was intended to provide an overall picture of work conducted during the last decade to assess the impact of music on behavioral and non-behavioral responses of people with disorders of consciousness. Following the PRISMA-ScR checklist, a scoping review was carried out to identify and provide a synthesis of eligible studies published in English during the 2010–2021 period. Three databases (i.e., PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science) were employed for the literature search. Thirty-four studies met the inclusion criteria. Those studies were grouped into three categories based on whether they assessed the effects of: (i) recorded music, (ii) interactive music, or (iii) response-contingent music. A narrative synthesis of the studies of each of the three categories was eventually provided. While the studies of all three categories reported fairly positive/encouraging results, several methodological questions make it difficult to draw conclusions about those results and their implications for intervention programs in daily contexts.
