BACKGROUND: Cluster headache (CH) is a trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia (TAC) characterized by a highly disabling headache that negatively impacts quality of life and causes limitations in daily functioning as well as social functioning and family life. Since specific measures to assess the quality of life (QoL) in TACs are lacking, we recently developed and validated the cluster headache quality of life scale (CH-QoL). The sensitivity of CH-QoL to change after a medical intervention has not been evaluated yet...

BACKGROUND: chronic pain, a common complaint among older adults, affects physical and mental well-being. While opioid use for pain management has increased over the years, pain management in older adults remains challenging, due to potential severe adverse effects of opioids in this population. OBJECTIVE: we examined the association between opioid use, and changes in cognitive function of older adults. DESIGN: prospective study. SETTING: community dwelling older adults...

Chronic pain (CP) and cognitive impairment are common in older adults. CP was found to be associated with cognitive impairment in many cross-sectional studies. However, their cross-sectional design precluded inference on temporality. Accordingly, we aimed to prospectively assess the association between cognitive functioning and the occurrence of CP in older community dwellers. Analyses were based on data of the first (FU1) and the second follow-up (FU2) of CoLaus|PsyCoLaus, a prospective cohort study conducted in the general population of Lausanne (Switzerland) including the participants aged 65 and over...

Background: Post-intensive care survivors have decreased quality-of-life scores and prolonged cognitive dysfunction due to baseline factors and events related to intensive care unit admission, which remain largely unrecognized. Materials and methods: A prospective observational cohort study to assess the quality of life and occurrence of cognitive dysfunction, 3 and 6 months following discharge from the intensive care unit, was carried out. We enrolled 136 adults presenting to the intensive care unit with no prior cognitive dysfunction or depression and followed up and assessed them with repeatable battery for the assessment of neuropsychological status (RBANS) and quality of life with short Form-36 (SF-36) health survey...

Dystonia secondary to cerebral infarcts presents months to years after the initial insult, is usually unilateral and causes significant morbidity. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) is established as the most frequent target in the management of the dystonic symptoms. We report our experience with subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS in 3 patients with post-infarct dystonia, in whom GPi DBS was not confidently possible due to the presence of striatal infarcts. Two patients had unilateral STN DBS implantation, whereas the third patient had bilateral STN DBS implantation for bilateral dystonic symptoms...

BACKGROUND: There is increasing evidence demonstrating the co-occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea (PD), premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in women. This study aimed to investigate whether women who have symptoms of IBS in addition to PD and PMS also report more severe or frequent menstruation-associated symptoms and psychological complications compared to women with PD and PMS alone. METHODS: The study group included 182 female University students aged 18-25 years...

OBJECTIVE: Moderate to severe spasticity is commonly reported in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and its management is still a challenge. Cannabinoids were recently suggested as add-on therapy for the treatment of spasticity and chronic pain in MS but there is no conclusive scientific evidence on their safety, especially on cognition and over long periods. The aim of this prospective pilot study was to assess the long-term effects of a tetrahydrocannabinol-cannabidiol (THC/CBD) oromucosal spray (Sativex®) on cognition, mood and anxiety...

BACKGROUND: Cognitive dysfunction in the early postoperative course is common for the elderly population. Anesthetic management may affect postoperative cognitive decline. Effective analgesia, early recovery and modulation of the stress response are advantages of neuraxial blocks. This study aims to compare the effects of general anesthesia and the combination of general anesthesia with epidural analgesia for postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). We hypothesized that neuraxial block combined with general anesthesia (GA) would have a favorable influence on POCD prevention...

Introduction: Knowledge about residual deficiencies and their consequences on daily life activities among stroke patients living at home 1-year after the initial event managed in stroke units is poor. This multi-dimensional study assessed the types of deficiencies, their frequency and the consequences that the specific stroke had upon the daily life of patients. Methods: A cross-sectional survey, assessing, using standardized scales, 1 year post-stroke disabilities, limitations of activities, participation and quality of life, was carried out by telephone interview and by mail in a sample of stroke patients who returned home after having been initially managed in a stroke unit...

Neural correlates of placebo analgesia (PA) in patients with neurocognitive disorders have not yet been elucidated. The present study aimed to evaluate how and to what extent executive (dys)functions of the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) may be related to PA. To this end, twenty-three subjects complaining of different cognitive deficits (from mild cognitive impairment likely due to Alzheimer's Disease to mild AD) were recruited. PA was investigated by a well-known experimental venipuncture pain paradigm (open versus hidden, O-H, application of lidocaine)...

Intracranial epidermoid cysts are rare, comprising 0.2% to 1.8% of all primary intracranial expanding lesions, of which <5% occur within the fourth ventricle. Epidermoid cysts are frequently congenital, and patients often present in the fourth decade of life. These cysts produce symptoms as a result of mass effect on surrounding structures, most commonly the cerebellum and cranial nerves. Symptoms can include hearing impairment, trigeminal neuralgia (severe facial pain), facial tics, headaches, double vision, and facial palsy...

Inadequate pain and/or stress management in preterm- and term-born infants has been associated with increased morbidity and even mortality. However, exposure to analgosedatives during early infancy may also be one of the risk factors for subsequent neurodevelopmental impairment, at least in animal studies. Because infants admitted to neonatal or pediatric intensive care units may receive high amounts of these drugs for prolonged periods of time and the majority of these infants nowadays survive to discharge, this is of major concern...

OBJECTIVES: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with cognitive impairment but the relationships between specific biomarkers and neurocognitive domains remain unclear. The present study examined the influence of common health comorbidities on these relationships. Adults with suspected OSA (N=60; 53% male; M age=52 years; SD=14) underwent neuropsychological evaluation before baseline polysomnography (PSG). Apneic syndrome severity, hypoxic strain, and sleep architecture disturbance were assessed through PSG...

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic, autosomal dominant multi-organ disease characterized by susceptibility to tumor formation, changes in skin pigmentation, skeletal abnormalities, and neuropsychological deficits. Clinical studies have shown impaired health-related quality of life (HQoL) in adults with NF1. However, little is known about HQoL in non-clinical NF1 samples. We conducted a cross-sectional self-report survey of 142 persons with NF1 (M age = 50.3 years, SD = 12.0, range 32 to 80; 62...

Symptoms suggesting altered processing of pain and temperature have been described in dementia diseases and may contribute importantly to clinical phenotypes, particularly in the frontotemporal lobar degeneration spectrum, but the basis for these symptoms has not been characterized in detail. Here we analysed pain and temperature symptoms using a semi-structured caregiver questionnaire recording altered behavioural responsiveness to pain or temperature for a cohort of patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (n = 58, 25 female, aged 52-84 years, representing the major clinical syndromes and representative pathogenic mutations in the C9orf72 and MAPT genes) and a comparison cohort of patients with amnestic Alzheimer's disease (n = 20, eight female, aged 53-74 years)...
