Studies of bilateral hemispheric somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) were carried out on 17 comatose patients following closed-head injury. Control evoked potentials were obtained from 74 normal volunteers. A prognosis of potential recovery or nonrecovery from coma was made in all 17 patients based on the SEP analyses. All subjects underwent bilateral median and peroneal nerve stimulation and responses were averaged from scalp electrodes placed over the somatotopic sensory cortex for the wrist and leg. The prognostic outcome of all 17 patients was accurately predicted following SEP analysis. Results show that 4 of 17 patients with prognoses of “positive recovery” had eight defined SEP peaks present within a time base analysis of 300 ms. Twelve patients with prognoses of “negative recovery” had five or less SEP peaks present within a time base of 500 ms. The majority of the “negative recovery” patients showed only SEP primary waveform components consisting of two peaks. The data suggest a potentially useful method using SEP analysis to prognosticate the possible recovery from clinical coma.
