the vegetative state is a chronic or long-term condition. this condition differs from a coma: a coma is a state that lacks both awareness and wakefulness. patients in a vegetative state may have awoken from a coma, but still have not regained awareness. in the vegetative state patients can open their eyelids occasionally and demonstrate sleep-wake cycles, but completely lack cognitive function. the vegetative state is also called a "coma vigil". the chances of regaining awareness diminish considerably as the time spent in the vegetative state increases.
