Doctors make history by ‘jump-starting’ coma patient’s brain with new technology

‘Scientists from UCLA recently performed a groundbreaking procedure that brought a 25-year-old man back to life. The anonymous man is the first coma patient to regain consciousness without having to undergo a dangerous and life-threatening surgery.
The procedure utilizes a newly-developed device to send ultrasound pulses into the brain. This is the first time a traumatic brain injury has been treated with this kind of technology.

The success of his procedure denotes a substantial step forward in the medical understanding and treatment of traumatic brain injuries that could save millions of lives.’
