Low-intensity focused ultrasound for a child with chronic disorders of consciousness: a pr

A single-case report details the application of low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to a pediatric patient with a prolonged disorder of consciousness. The report includes longitudinal clinical scale assessments and pre/post-intervention resting-state fMRI data to analyze functional connectivity changes. The dataset was authored by Xiao Zhang and uploaded to figshare on June 2, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing clinical outcomes of LIFU based on Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale and Coma Recovery Scale – Revised scores mentioned in the description
• Studying changes in brain network organization based on resting-state fMRI functional connectivity analysis described
• Evaluating safety and efficacy of a novel neuromodulation technique for a specific pediatric case as reported

Strengths

• Includes detailed longitudinal clinical assessments (PGCS, CRS-R, activities of daily living, functional oral intake) for a single patient
• Contains pre- and post-intervention resting-state fMRI data used for whole-brain and seed-based functional connectivity analysis
• Report is published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license

Limitations

• Dataset is a single-case report (N=1), limiting generalizability and statistical power
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown; data structure must be inferred from the descriptive text
• The 1.3 MB file size suggests the primary content is a document, not a large-scale data table
