I'm wondering if anyone has experience with or knowledge about a coma and if it's possible to still feel emotions or sensations while in one. I'm looking for any kind of information—personal stories, medical studies, etc.
Can you still feel anything while in a coma

What is a Coma?
A coma is a state of unconsciousness in which a person is unresponsive to their environment and cannot be awakened. It is usually caused by severe injury to the brain, such as a traumatic brain injury, stroke, or poisoning. In some cases, a coma may be induced medically in order to give the body time to heal.
Can You Feel Anything in a Coma?
Although a person in a coma does not respond to external stimuli, it is possible that they may still be able to feel some sensations. For instance, studies have shown that people in comas may be able to detect pain, pressure, temperature, and sound. In some cases, people in comas have been able to respond to certain questions or commands, although this is rare.
Can You Communicate While in a Coma?
It is possible for people in comas to communicate, although it is rare. Some people have been able to communicate through eye movements or facial expressions, while others have been able to make sounds or write words. In some cases, people in comas have been able to understand spoken language and respond to questions or commands.
Can You Have Thoughts and Feelings in a Coma?
It is unclear if people in comas are aware of their surroundings, or if they are able to think or feel emotions. Some studies have suggested that people in comas may still be able to experience some level of consciousness, while others have suggested that they may be completely unaware of their environment.
Conclusion
The extent to which people in comas can feel or sense their environment is still largely unknown. Although some studies have suggested that people in comas may be able to experience some level of consciousness, it is still unclear if they are able to think or feel emotions.
