Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an injury caused by external violence directly or indirectly acting on the head. This is currently the primary factor leading to death and disability among young people internationally (Giacino & Trott, Using neurostimulation technology for the treatment of severe brain injury to restore cognitive and physiological functions is considered to be an innovative and promising clinical treatment approach (Manganotti et al., In our recent study, it was found that using high‐frequency rTMS to stimulate the injured part of the patient's affected side has a positive effect on the recovery of consciousness after TBI (Shen et al., In summary, this study intends to use 20 Hz high‐frequency rTMS to stimulate the M1 region in VS patients with a consciousness disorder for 1–3 months after TBI. A control experiment with the traditional stimulation of the damaged part of the affected side of the brain was performed to evaluate whether patients can enter an MCS from a VS more effectively after treatment, thereby optimizing clinical treatment methods and increasing the rate of wakefulness in patients with TBI.
