   Can a coma be reversed?

   • If the coma is due to seizures, medicines can control seizures. Other treatments might focus on medicines or therapies to address an underlying disease, such as diabetes or liver disease. Sometimes the cause of a coma can be completely reversed, and the affected person regains function. Recovery usually occurs gradually.

   How is a coma treated?

   • The first priority of coma treatment is to minimize brain damage and to support the functions of the body. If the cause of the coma is known, medications for treating the underlying condition will be administered, as in the case of a drug overdose or a brain infection. Sometimes, surgery may be required to reduce swelling in the brain.
