Sensory hypersensitivity after acquired brain injury: the patient perspective
CONCLUSIONS: Sensory hypersensitivity can have a major impact on patients' physical well-being, return to work and (social) participation after ABI. Characteristics of sensory hypersensitivity vary between patients with ABI. To develop treatments for sensory hypersensitivity, future studies should focus on cognitive (e.g., filtering information) and psychological factors (e.g., coping) in relation to sensory hypersensitivity.PMID:37649314 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2251401

Feasibility and acceptability of the Resilient Living program among persons with stroke or brain tumor and their family caregivers
CONCLUSION: The study confirms prior research suggesting that interventions targeting resilience are feasible, but larger studies with more rigorous methods are needed to appreciate the influence of resilience interventions in persons with brain disorders and their caregivers. Further research is needed to identify the characteristics of those most likely to benefit from resilience interventions and the optimal timing of such interventions.PMID:36617758 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-220127

Effect of gait distance during robot training on walking independence after acute brain injury
This study aimed to determine whether the distance of gait training using a hybrid assistive limb (HAL) is related to the improvement of walking independence in patients with acute brain injury. This was an exploratory, observational study. Thirty patients having hemiplegia (functional ambulation category, FAC score ≤ 2) with acute stroke or after brain tumor surgery were included. Patients performed 4 sessions of gait training using HAL (60 min/session), 1-3 sessions/week, combined with conventional physical therapy. The gait distance achieved in the four training sessions using HAL was measured. FAC score was measured ...

Rehabilitation of Adult Patients with Primary Brain Tumors
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTo review the medical complications and functional impairments of primary brain tumor survivors and the role of rehabilitation medicine in survivorship care.Recent FindingsPrimary brain tumors share many similar symptoms and functional impairments with stroke and traumatic brain injury. A call for the inclusion of rehabilitation services as part of neuro-oncological care can improve outcomes from patients with PBT to meet the rehabilitative and supportive care needs of the patient with PBT and their caregivers.SummaryFurther studies on the impact of both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation serv...

Return to Work for People With Aphasia
Right now, about 2.5 million people in the United States are living with aphasia after stroke.1 Aphasia can make it difficult to talk, listen, read, and/or write. Stroke is the most common cause of aphasia, but it can also happen after a traumatic brain injury (eg, blow to the head), a brain tumor, brain infection, or a neurodegenerative disease (eg, Alzheimer's dementia).2 Many people with aphasia are of working age, and this number is going up as more young people in the United States are sustaining stroke.

Effect of yoga on health-related quality of life in central nervous system disorders: A systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: With low to moderate quality of the evidence, yoga seems effective to improve HRQoL in people with Parkinson's disease. For multiple sclerosis, stroke, dementia, epilepsy and brain tumour, the quality of the evidence is still insufficient to conclude of the effectiveness of yoga.PMID:34053238 | DOI:10.1177/02692155211018429

Supportive Communication for Individuals with Aphasia
Aphasia is a language disorder that affects speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Aphasia is most commonly caused by a stroke or injury to the left side of the brain. Brain tumors and other neurologic diseases can also cause aphasia. Because of language impairments, individuals with aphasia struggle to participate in daily life activities involving communication in health care settings, at home, or in their community.1 People with aphasia and their communication partners can use supportive strategies to help them communicate in daily life.

Intractable Central Pain in a Patient With Diffuse Glioma
Central neuropathic pain can be difficult to treat and, subsequently, cause a great amount of disability and distress to patients, which limits quality of life. Common etiologies include the following: stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, infection, vasculitis, and malignancy. This case is a description of an 18-yr-old male patient diagnosed with a grade IV diffuse glioma who experienced severe neuropathic pain refractory to first-line treatment options including the following: gabapentinoids, tricyclic antidepressants, and selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. The patient remained on high-...

Relationship between fatigue after acquired brain injury and depression, injury localization and aetiology: An explorative study in a rehabilitation setting.
CONCLUSION: Although depression explains a high degree of fatigue after an acquired brain injury, mental fatigue after brain injury should be viewed as a condition partly separate from depression. Future extensive comparative studies are required, preferably including neuropsychological measures. PMID: 30003267 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
