Troi in coma

Counselor Troi in a coma in 2368.

A coma (or comatose state) is a state of unconsciousness in which a person is unresponsive to physical stimulation due to a reduction of neurological activity in the neocortex.

A coma can be the result of many things including head trauma and Iresine Syndrome. (TNG: "Violations")

In 1986, following a fall onto a barge from the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Enterprise, Pavel Chekov's middle meningeal artery was torn. This internal injury placed Chekov into a coma. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)

In 2153, Phlox placed the crew of the Enterprise in a comatose state while the starship traversed a region of transdimensional space. This was done in order to dampen the crews' brain activity, as the affected region would disrupt the neocortex of the Human brain. (ENT: "Doctor's Orders")

In 2154 Doctor Phlox held Corporal Askwith in a coma because of his cranial injuries he suffered from an explosion of a bomb in the United Earth Embassy on Vulcan. (ENT: "The Forge")

In 2285, Torias Dax was in a fatal shuttle accident. He was said to have fallen in a six-month coma before dying, but in fact, he had died quickly, and had the Dax symbiont transferred to Joran Dax. (DS9: "Equilibrium")

In 2366, Doctor Beverly Crusher induced coma in Deanna Troi to shield her from all outside stimuli as she was affected by the music planted into her mind by Kevin Uxbridge. (TNG: "The Survivors")

In 2368, several crewmembers of the USS Enterprise-D, including Counselor Troi and Commander Riker fell into comas as a result of an invasive telepathic memory attack performed by Jev, a member of the visiting Ullian historian delegation. (TNG: "Violations")

In 2369, Zek, the Ferengi Grand Nagus, used Dolbargy sleeping trance, a voluntarily induced deep coma, to fake his own death when he wanted to test the readiness of his son, Krax, to serve as Nagus. Zek's servant, Maihar'du, had taught him the technique. (DS9: "The Nagus")

In 2371, Julian Bashir was attacked by a Lethean named Altovar, who wanted to steal controlled medical equipment. Bashir was left in a coma, where he experienced a disturbing hallucination involving aging rapidly. (DS9: "Distant Voices") In that same year, Neelix on the USS Voyager fell into a coma after he had his lungs removed by a Vidiian. (VOY: "Phage")

In 2372, Benjamin Sisko sustained severe trauma to the head as a result of a Jem'Hadar attack. Kira Nerys attempted to prevent a coma by keeping him occupied with conversation. (DS9: "Starship Down")

In 2373, a shuttle accident left Jadzia Dax, Elim Garak, Odo and Benjamin Sisko in a coma. Residual morphogenic enzymes in Odo's brain created a telepathic link between the four, where they relived a disturbing memory of Odo's during the Occupation of Bajor. (DS9: "Things Past").

In the same year, Kes fell into a coma and Captain Kathryn Janeway attempted to save her life by going through a Nechani ritual. (VOY: "Sacred Ground")

In 2376, Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres was left in a coma, also caused by a shuttle accident. She experienced hallucinations relating to her Klingon heritage. She later re-created the conditions of the accident in order to return to the hallucination in an attempt to free her mother form Gre'thor. (VOY: "Barge of the Dead")
