Coma Recovery Scale-Revised

The Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) is a specialized assessment tool used by healthcare professionals to evaluate the level of consciousness in individuals with brain injuries. It measures different functions such as awareness, communication, movement, and responsiveness across six categories. The scale helps determine whether a person is in a coma, minimally conscious, or emerges from a vegetative state. By systematically scoring behaviors and responses, the CRS-R guides diagnosis, informs treatment planning, and tracks recovery progress over time. It is evidence-based and standardized, ensuring reliable assessment of consciousness levels in patients with severe brain impairments.
