Massachusetts General Hospital Scale

The Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Scale assesses how well a person responds to treatment, especially in neurological conditions like coma or brain injury. It measures levels of consciousness based on responses such as eye opening, motor movement, and verbal communication. Scores range from very alert and responsive to unresponsive states, helping medical teams track progress and guide treatment decisions. The scale provides a standardized way to evaluate severity and recovery, promoting clear communication among healthcare providers.
