RHN open lecture: Sensory stimulation for people with severe brain injury

Providing appropriate stimulation and interaction is a key treatment objective for clinicians working with people who have a severe brain injury.
It can allow ongoing monitoring of responses, facilitate emerging communication and provide a role for families in the care of their loved one.
It is also a key area highlighted in the new Royal College of Physicians national clinical guidelines for prolonged disorders of consciousness.
