It is clear from the passage that TMS was used on this patient ----.
Josh Villa was 26 and driving home with a friend when
his car mounted the kerb and flipped over. Villa was
thrown through the windscreen, suffered massive head
injuries and fell into a coma. Almost a year later, there
was still little sign of improvement. He would open his
eyes, but he was not responsive to any external stimuli
in his environment. He was then enrolled in a six-week
study in which an electromagnetic coil was held over the
front of his head to stimulate the underlying brain tissue.
Such transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been
investigated as a way of treating migraine, stroke,
Parkinson's disease and depression, with some
promising results, but this is the first time it has been
used as a potential therapy for someone in a coma like
state. Certain improvements were observed; for
instance, he began to say single words. The case has
been described as “intriguing,” but it has also given rise
to a lot of cautionary warning.
