Effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment evaluated with Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) in both minimally conscious state (MCS) and VS/UWS patients. Significant improvement is shown in the entire group [(A), p = 0.007]. However, subgroup analysis of the therapeutic effects at each time point only revealed significant differences in the MCS patients [(B), p = 0.042], and significant improvement was first shown at day 10 [(B), p = 0.041]. In the VS/UWS patients, there was no significant improvement in CRS-R scores [(C), p = 0.066]. Data are displayed as the box–whiskers graphs, with the whiskers representing the minimum and maximum of the datasets.
