Detection of symptoms of late complications after stroke in young survivors with active surveillance versus usual care
CONCLUSIONS: Active surveillance leads to higher rates of early symptom detection of non-motor LCAS in young stroke survivors. Implications for rehabilitation Young stroke survivors frequently have late complications after stroke (LCAS) that impair return to pre-stroke responsibilities. Active surveillance for LCAS symptoms with a semi-structured interview increases detection of non-motor late complications. A bundled approach to screening for LCAS symptoms is pragmatic as a majority of young stroke survivors have at least one symptom but no single symptom is present in all stroke survivors.PMID:33605166 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2021.1883749

Treatment of sleep disturbance following stroke and traumatic brain injury: a systematic review of conservative interventions.
CONCLUSIONS: Some conservative interventions might be useful for improving sleep disturbance or disorders in these populations, but further research is required. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Sleep disturbance is common following stroke and traumatic brain injury, with insomnia and obstructive sleep apnoea being the most frequently diagnosed sleep disorders. Psychotherapy-based approaches might be useful for sleep disturbance after TBI and acupuncture may help improve insomnia or sleep disturbance following stroke or TBI, respectively. Morning bright light therapy appeared to be more beneficial for fatigue rather than sl...

The role of rehabilitation psychology in stroke care described through case examples.
CONCLUSION: Given the abrupt and significant life-changing nature of stroke, it is often necessary to manage a diverse array of psychological issues that often cannot be simply managed via psychotropic medications. Moreover, an understanding of the patients' emotional adjustment and issues can help them maximize their rehabilitation, recovery, and community integration. For the cases discussed, psychology consultations were central in helping optimize their rehabilitation and functional outcomes. PMID: 32083601 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
