Abstract 

With the development of modern international medicine, the subject of disorders of consciousness (DOCs) has begun to be raised in mainland China. Much progress has been made to date in several specialties related to the management of chronic DOC patients in China. In this article, we briefly review the present status of DOC studies in China, specifically concerning diagnosis, prognosis, therapy, and rehabilitation. The development of DOC-related scientific organizations and activities in China are introduced. Some weaknesses that need improvement are also noted. The current program provides a good foundation for future development.
