Associations between stages of diabetic polyneuropathy and quality of life, neuropathic pain, and well-being: A multicenter, cross-sectional analysis based on electroneuromyographic findings.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between electrophysiological findings of diabetic neuropathy (DN) and patients' quality of life, neuropathic pain levels, and well-being.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 12 centers in Turkey. DN patients were categorized into four stages based on electrophysiological findings using the Baba classification.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Lockdown on the Quality of Life in Chronic Neurological Diseases: The Results of a COVQoL-CND Study.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and lockdown period may induce an impairment in quality of life (QoL), disruption in treatment (DIT), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in chronic neurological diseases (CNDs). To reach this information, a multicenter, cross-sectional study (COVQoL-CND) was planned. Parkinson's disease (PD), headache (HA), multiple sclerosis (MS), epilepsy (EP), polyneuropathy (PNP), and cerebrovascular disease (CVD) were selected as the CND.

Comparison of conventional and modern methods in determining ischemic stroke etiology by general and stroke neurologists.

Background/aim: This study aimed to investigate the consistency between stroke and general neurologists in subtype assignment using the Trial of ORG-10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) and Causative Classification of Stroke (CCS) systems.

Materials And Methods: Fifty consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients admitted to the stroke unit were recruited. Patients were classified by two stroke and two general neurologists, each from different medical centers, according to TOAST followed by the CCS.

Validity and Reliability of Turkish Translation of Neuropathic Pain Impact on Quality-of-Life (NePIQoL) Questionnaire.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to adapt the "Neuropathic Pain Impact on Quality-of-Life Questionnaire" (NePIQoL) into Turkish and to test its validity and reliability in neuropathic pain patients.

Methods: We enrolled 200 chronic pain patients who admitted to the Neurology Department of Kirikkale University, Faculty of Medicine, in our study. Patients were diagnosed with neuropathic or nociceptive pain based on medical history, physical examination, electromyography and nerve conduction studies, laboratory examinations, and imaging techniques.

Greater occipital nerve blockade for the treatment of chronic migraine: a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, and placebo-controlled study.

Objectives: We aimed to assess the efficacy of greater occipital nerve (GON) blockade at chronic migraine (CM) treatment.

Materials And Methods: Patients with CM were randomly divided into two groups of 42. GON blockade was administered four times (once per week) with saline in group A or bupivacaine in group B.
