Read a welcome message from our campaign co-chairs.

Welcome to the Curing Coma Campaign! The purpose of the Curing Coma Campaign is to develop a platform for two interrelated goals: (1) to advance and focus the science of acute disorders of consciousness towards identifying and testing therapeutic interventions; and (2) to facilitate collaboration across an enduring community of healthcare providers, scientists, and advocates to test and implement these advances.

We define “curing coma” as promoting recovery of consciousness through early intervention and long-term support. The Curing Coma Campaign is organized into numerous scientific and administrative working groups and modules tasked with working towards realizing this grand challenge. There is a place for everyone in the Curing Coma Campaign, whether it is participating as a research investigator, telling a Story of Hope, attending World Coma Day, or donating to the Neurocritical Care Foundation and its support of Curing Coma. Please join us!
