Contextual factors of financial capability and financial well-being for adults living with brain injury: a qualitative photovoice study
CONCLUSIONS: There is decreased literature about financial capability or financial well-being after ABI. The results of this study highlight the salience of finance to living with ABI and the importance of the context to addressing financial-related life participation for people living with ABI. Information about contextual factors related to finance can improve rehabilitation assessment and intervention practice as well as emphasize needed accessibility changes to financial environments.PMID:38334038 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2024.2310210 (Source: Brain Injury)

Individualized spectral filters alleviate persistent photophobia, headaches and migraines in active duty military and Veterans following brain trauma
CONCLUSIONS: Wearing individualized spectral filters was associated with symptom relief, increased subjective quality of reported health and well-being, and decreased objective medication use for TBI-related persistent headaches/migraines. These results support a suggested relationship between dysregulated light sensitivity and central regulation of pain.PMID:38334039 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2024.2309253 (Source: Brain Injury)

Improved rehabilitation efficiency after cranioplasty in patients with sunken skin flap syndrome: a case series
CONCLUSION: A diagnosis of SSFS should be considered in craniectomy patients exhibiting functional decline or plateau with associated neurological symptoms. This study suggests that FIM and FIM efficiency increases in SSFS patients after cranioplasty, supporting prompt cranioplasty to improve functional outcomes and minimize rehabilitation delays.PMID:38334121 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2024.2309261 (Source: Brain Injury)

Exploring the relationship between contraceptive medication use and concussion recovery in female collegiate athletes: a LIMBIC MATARS consortium investigation
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that contraceptive medication use did not significantly impact concussion recovery. Future prospective investigations should examine documentation practices and operationalize terminology for hormonal contraceptive medication to better understand their role on recovery from sport-related concussion in female collegiate athletes.PMID:38335246 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2024.2310780 (Source: Brain Injury)

Caregiver and family functioning after pediatric disorder of consciousness: telephone-based outcome assessment
CONCLUSIONS: Within this relatively small convenience sample, results indicate the PedsQL-FIM administered via telephone is feasible and useful in describing the impact of child health on caregiver/family functioning long after DoC associated with ABI. Future studies are needed to understand factors contributing to caregiver/family functioning to inform targeted interventions.PMID:38328910 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2024.2304884 (Source: Brain Injury)

Post-traumatic amnesia: a scoping review & amp; content analysis of behavioral disturbances
CONCLUSION: Our study revealed that while standardized assessments of behavior of patients in PTA are often limited to agitation, clinical descriptions include a range of behavioral disturbances. Our study highlights a significant gap in the systematic assessment of a wide range of behavioral disturbances observed in PTA.PMID:38328966 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2024.2304865 (Source: Brain Injury)

The effect of age on baseline neurocognitive performance
CONCLUSIONS: Age was shown to be an independent modifier of impulse control, verbal memory, visual motor, and reaction time scores but not visual memory or symptom scores. This underscores the previous literature showing developmental differences as age increases among the adolescent athlete population. This data also indicates the need for repeat neurocognitive baseline testing every other year as baseline scoring is likely to change as athletes become older.PMID:38328998 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2024.2307968 (Source: Brain Injury)

Treatment of chronic symptoms following mild traumatic brain injury with transcranial LED: a sham run-in pilot study of photobiomodulation therapy
CONCLUSIONS: Most participants did not improve on neuropsychological testing. A minority self-reported improvement in symptoms, potentially explained by the intervention, psychiatric medication changes, placebo effects, or other factors. Selecting participants with different clinical characteristics, and dosing and delivery system changes, may produce different results. A study design accounting for placebo effects appears warranted in future trials.PMID:38329020 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2024.2309258 (Source: Brain Injury)

Metacognitive accuracy predicts self-reported quality of life following traumatic brain injury
CONCLUSION: The study results provide evidence of an inverse relation between metacognitive performance and QoL following TBI. Metacognitive changes associated with TBI and their relation to QoL have several clinical implications for TBI rehabilitation.PMID:38329033 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2024.2311336 (Source: Brain Injury)

Reliability and validation of the Japanese version of the coma recovery scale-revised (CRS-R)
This study aimed to verify the reliability and validity of the Japanese version of the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R).METHODS: Subjects included 59 patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) due to acquired brain injury. To validate test-retest reliability, Evaluator A assessed the CRS-R twice on the same day (A1, A2). To examine inter-rater reliability, Evaluators A (A2) and B (B) assessed the CRS-R without a time interval. To test concurrent validity, Evaluator A (A1) assessed the CRS-R, Japan Coma Scale (JCS), and the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) consecutively. To validate diagnostic accuracy, we evaluated the degr...
