After a vegetative person wakes up, it will not be the same as a normal person, everyone must be clear, and then analyze the relevant reasons with me carefully.

First of all, from the most basic level of sobriety, a person's real wakefulness, which involves a lot of problems, can be said to be the most basic interaction, that is to say, can make him open his mouth, can make him move his eyes, can let him shake hands These most basic activities, in many cases are also very, very difficult, although the so-called awakening surgery may promote his wakefulness, but this operation is not 100% effective, and there may be only 30% or 40% success rate.

Secondly, let's talk about the level of cognition, the level of cognition is very complex, it does not mean that you can open your mouth to eat, you can shake hands and move it can wake up, more importantly, you have to have a certain amount of emotions, joys, sorrows, and sorrows, you need to know arithmetic 1+1=2, you need to know whether this is cold or warm, you need to know whether the person you are talking to now is angry or happy, etc.

Levels like this are basically, very, very difficult to achieve. Because of human growth and development, it may take you about 10 years to be able to control your emotions independently, and it is very, very difficult to achieve a certain level of cognition through surgery.

Again, let's talk about memory, many people will have amnesia after coma after traumatic brain injury, the same reason, wake-up surgery may have a certain interaction, but it may be for some of the previous memories must be lost.

Memory is divided into short-term memory and long-term memory, and in many cases, this short-term memory will definitely be lost.

There is also the activity of the limbs, speech function, etc., because people are a whole, the longer the coma, the more serious the functional deterioration in all aspects, many coma patients will be accompanied by the adhesion of the limb joints and the atrophy of muscles. And this aspect is really troublesome.

There are also some related details, all of which have certain considerations, if you have any questions, you can further consult me.

On the whole, when all aspects of human, material and financial resources are allowed, we can better go to **. This is definitely not a problem that can be solved in a month or two.

Of course, there is a gradual process in everything, and this is also a hope, although the current medical situation cannot change this situation, but I believe that after all, there is still room for progress, and human civilization is still in the process of development.
