Or rather, advice on medical vocabulary. tiniago? stabbim?

Specifics: I need acronyms, several of them (say, between five and ten) for conditions/procedures/technology/treatment connected to brain injuries and/or coma (this is a LoM fic). One of these should be something that might be considered as crucial to a 'solution' for Sam's prolonged coma, either a procedure or technology that may not have been tried on him before, or a condition they've begun to suspect he might have or whatever. It doesn't have to be particularly *likely* - something he may have heard from someone who was speculating wildly within earshot would be okay. (I'm not actually writing medical dialogue here - the 'information' turns up in Sam's world in a rather transfigured form, but its being part of some sort of 'solution' is implied by the context it appears in.)
