Nobody knows for sure what goes on in the mind of a coma patient.
 
We do know when loved ones are close - the patient responds to them.
We're here to help you understand, share ideas on how to help with recovery and be there when you need a little inspiration.
 
There's a lot going on right now.
We'll help you understand what's happening in easy to understand terms.
 
Click here for medical terms and what they mean.  We'll tell you how the Glasgow Coma Scale score is used as a way to measure recovery, about ICU equipment and possible assessment tests.
 
 
You can make a difference.
What we learn from your experiences will help make someone else's recovery a little easier and possibly shorter.
 
We hope to learn as much as we can about the comatose state of unconsciousness.  Your stories, the forum (coming soon) and studies teach us a little more each day.
 
Your participation in the coma study will make a big difference in research.  Click here to see more about the study.
 
Soon we will be offering a KnowComa.com journal to share information with your family and friends.
In the meanwhile, click here for more information.
