Regional brain volume prior to treatment is linked to outcome after cognitive rehabilitation in traumatic brain injury.

Cognitive rehabilitation is useful for many after traumatic brain injury (TBI), but we lack critical knowledge about which patients benefit the most from different approaches. Advanced neuroimaging techniques have provided important insight into brain pathology and systems plasticity after TBI, and have potential to inform new practices in cognitive rehabilitation. In this study, we aimed to identify candidate structural brain measures with relevance for rehabilitation of cognitive control (executive) function after TBI.

A cross-sectional study exploring overlap in post-stroke fatigue caseness using three fatigue instruments: Fatigue Severity Scale, Fatigue Questionnaire and the Lynch's Clinical Interview.

Objective: Post stroke fatigue (PSF) is a frequent symptom affecting 25-73% of stroke survivors. The variability in estimates of prevalence found across studies reflects differences in fatigue measures and use of different cut-offs for defining clinically significant fatigue. The main aim of this study is to explore the frequency and overlap in caseness of fatigue using three different fatigue measures in a sample of patients at 3 months post stroke.

Emotional Regulation Following Acquired Brain Injury: Associations With Executive Functioning in Daily Life and Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression.

To examine whether a questionnaire measuring emotional regulation after acquired brain injury adds clinical information beyond what can be obtained with a comprehensive executive function questionnaire and an anxiety and depression measure. Seventy adult persons (age 19-66 years, = 43, = 13) with acquired brain injury in the chronic phase and executive function complaints. All were recruited to participate in a randomized controlled trial (NCT02692352) evaluating the effects of cognitive rehabilitation.

Trajectories of fatigue among stroke patients from the acute phase to 18 months post-injury: A latent class analysis.

Introduction: Post-stroke fatigue (PSF) is a common symptom affecting 23-75% of stroke survivors. It is associated with increased risk of institutionalization and death, and it is of many patients considered among the worst symptoms to cope with after stroke. Longitudinal studies focusing on trajectories of fatigue may contribute to understanding patients' experience of fatigue over time and its associated factors, yet only a few have been conducted to date.
