In recent years, many literatures have reported that tACS, as a non-invasive electrical brain stimulation technique, has been applied in depression, schizophrenia, dementia and other fields. The goal of this study is to explore the clinical efficacy and mechanism of action of HD-tACS in patients with chronic disorders of consciousness.The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Explore the neurophysiological effects of HD-tACS on patients with chronic disorders of consciousness under theta and gamma frequency stimulation, and observe its impact on behavioral changes and long-term prognosis; 2. Further investigate the awakening mechanism of consciousness disorders through HD-tACS stimulation using multimodal assessment; 3. Clarify the role of theta and gamma neural oscillations in consciousness disorders, providing new targets for the pathogenesis and treatment of Disorders of Consciousness .
