The Coma Recovery Scale-Revised

The Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) is a scientific tool used by healthcare professionals to assess and monitor the level of consciousness in people with brain injuries. It evaluates different responses, such as visual, auditory, motor, and communication abilities, to determine whether the person is in a vegetative state, minimally conscious, or emerging from a coma. The scale helps guide treatment decisions and track recovery progress by providing a standardized way to measure how responsive and aware a patient is. It is a reliable and detailed assessment that aids in understanding and supporting recovery.
