A member asked:
Is coughing, moving fingers, raising hand a little when pinched and slight movement of eye lids a good sign for someone in coma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better than nothing: Coma can be considered as reversible if some responses are noted. These responses may be from deep structures and not from true conscious centers. However, they can be considered as signs that the coma is reversible. Degree of recovery may still be uncertain, and time for recovery may be uncertain.
