China Central Television reported on 29 and 30 October 2026 that, in a study by the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Kunming Medical University, 13 of 24 patients with chronic disorders of consciousness showed clear improvement after non-invasive ultrasound stimulation.
