Introduction: The functional burden of vertigo, dizziness, and balance problems (VDB) might depend on the personality traits of the patients affected. The aim of this study thus was to investigate the impact of self-efficacy, risk attitudes, and time preferences on functioning in older patients with VDB before and after treatment in a specialized tertiary care center.
Methods: Data for this study was obtained from the MobilE-TRA2 cohort study, conducted at a specialized tertiary care center in Germany.

Introduction: Repetitive neuromuscular magnetic stimulation (rNMS) was previously applied in adult patients with episodic migraine, showing beneficial effects on headache characteristics, high safety, and convincing satisfaction. This study aims to assess rNMS as a personalized intervention in pediatric headache.
Methods: Retrospective chart review including patients with migraine, TTH, mixed type headache, or PTH, who had received at least one test rNMS session targeting the upper trapezius muscles (UTM).
