For the first time in the world, a patient with pseudocoma talked to his family, saying yes or no to the question

One patient, who was almost paralyzed, was able to contact his family. He was able to express his thoughts to his family members. This is the first time in the world.

Any patient who has almost gone into a coma (pseudocoma) can talk to his family this time if he wants. You can say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to any questions from family members or doctors.

A recent study highlights this possibility. Where a patient who became almost numb was able to communicate with his family through a special technology. He was able to express his thoughts to his family members. This is the first time in the world.

The research paper was published in the international science research journal Nature Communications. Wednesday.

The researchers said the 34-year-old patient had not been able to walk for a long time. Couldn’t speak. His facial muscles were no longer working. Mouth, tongue became numb. He could not even express his feelings. Such a condition in patients is called pseudocoma in medical terms. Exactly the pre-condition of going into a complete coma.

Researchers have done this by placing two microchips in the brain of a patient who has gone into pseudocoma. Through those two microchips, the patient is able to talk to his family members. He has been able to express his mind.

Pseudocoma is also called locked-in syndrome. At this stage the patient cannot walk or talk in the initial way. However, they are aware at the beginning. They see. Listen. You can taste any food. Smell. You can even think. You can also feel. But gradually those powers also begin to disappear. At that time, the patient can no longer express his feelings by shaking the eyelids or gems.

The 34-year-old patient, who was studied by scientists at Switzerland’s Vice Center for Bio and Nano-Engineering and the University of Trabingen in Germany, could no longer express his feelings without moving his eyelids or beads.

One year after losing the ability to walk and speak, the patient is placed on ventilation for breathing. Within a year, he could no longer express his feelings, even if he moved a patient’s eyelid or a jewel. As a result, the patient was separated from his family.

The researchers then implanted two microchips in his brain with his consent. Two microchips are placed in the part of the brain that controls muscle movement. It is through these two chips that the functions of his brain are connected to an external computer. As a result, whether he says ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to a question appears on the computer screen.

Researchers have found that pseudocoma patients take at least a minute to respond to a letter. In 80 percent of the cases, his answer is correct. In the next step, scientists are working to improve the technology so that patients can say at least a variety of words (‘words’) even if they cannot form a sentence, scientists said.
