Pseudocoma patients may respond with purposeful movement to painful
stimulation and avoid unpleasant stimuli such as a nasal tickle. The
presence of nystagmus during cold caloric testing suggests that coma
is either feigned or hysterical, because nystagmus requires an intact
cerebral cortex and brainstem. Additionally, cold water caloric
stimulation is noxious and can induce nausea and vomiting, or
awakening in patients with psychogenic coma."

"Similarly to patients with pseudoparalysis, the hands of patients
with pseudocoma do not often hit their face when dropped. However, the
diagnostic validity of this kind of self-protection sign has not been
evaluated convincingly. Furthermore, unethical provocative maneuvers,
such as dropping alcohol in the nostrils or olfactory stimulation
using ammonium, should not be used to induce responsiveness in
patients deemed to be in feigned coma."

"Psychogenic amnesia (also called functional amnesia) is a form of
amnesia which occurs in otherwise healthy people -- i.e., it is not
the result of a brain injury. It involves loss of important personal
information. Another term for this condition is functional amnesia."
