Sleeping Pill Temporarily Rouses Patients Out of "Permanent" Vegetative State
Improvement is almost immediate -- within 20 minutes -- but only temporary -- not more than four hours or so.

It's not a cure yet, but anything that can awaken a comatose brain, even temporarily, is doing something that heretofore hasn't been possible.
Thanks to DDG.
