The effect of intermittent theta burst stimulation for cognitive dysfunction: a meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that iTBS may improve cognitive function in patients with cognitive dysfunction, although the quality of evidence remains low. Further studies with better methodological quality should explore the effects of iTBS on cognitive function.PMID:38651344 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2024.2344087 (Source: Brain Injury)

Use of actigraphy for monitoring agitation and rest-activity cycles in patients with acute traumatic brain injury in the ICU
CONCLUSIONS: This study supports the feasibility of actigraphy use in TBI patients in the ICU. In the acute phase of TBI, agitated patients have higher levels of activity, confirming the potential of actigraphy to monitor agitation.PMID:38635547 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2024.2341323 (Source: Brain Injury)

The Montreal Cognitive Assessment detects cognitive deficits that go unnoticed during clinical observation in the acute phase after stroke
CONCLUSIONS: The MoCA detects more cognitive deficits than clinical impression alone, emphasizing the importance of standard screening for cognitive impairments in acute stroke patients. Ultimately, systematic screening may enhance discharge planning and improve long-term outcomes.PMID:38615342 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2024.2341039 (Source: Brain Injury)

Relationships between vestibular issues, noise sensitivity, anxiety and prolonged recovery from mild traumatic brain injury among adults: a scoping review
CONCLUSION: Few studies have focused on the relationships that vestibular issues, NS and anxiety have with one another and recovery after mTBI. Given the apparent strong relationships between these factors and prolonged recovery, we highlight this as an area warranting further investigation.PMID:38597651 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2024.2337905 (Source: Brain Injury)
