Abstract: Patients with Disorders of Consciousness (DOC) exhibit arousal fluctuations, showing periods of circadian sleep-wake. Circadian rhythms are the outward manifestation of an endogenous timing system. The diagnosis of patients does not only rely on behavioral responsiveness during process, but also based on the rhythm of patients. Therefore, it is important to know the circadian rhythm of DOC patients. We also need to be aware of the importance of adjusting circadian rhythm for DOC patient in diagnosis and treatment.
