Phantom motor execution (PME) shows promise as a new treatment for phantom limb pain (PLP) by inducing motor-related analgesia and retraining the pain network activation. However, the current understanding of the neural correlates underlying PME is limited. Databases were systematically searched for multimodal neuroimaging studies to explore the neural correlates of PME.

- Phantom limb pain (PLP) is common in amputees, and this study introduces a new tool, the PLP-PLS index, to differentiate between PLP and non-painful sensations (PLS).
- The research analyzed data from 112 participants, using various regression models to identify how demographic and clinical factors relate to the PLP-PLS index.
- Significant associations were found between phantom movement sensations and time since amputation with the PLP-PLS index, suggesting the need for further exploration into the different causes and treatment approaches for PLP and PLS.
Objective: Considering the growing evidence that psychological variables might contribute to fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), our study aims to understand the impact of psychological factors in quantitative sensory testing (QST) in FMS patients by performing a systematic review with meta-analysis.
Methods: A systematic search was carried out in PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and PsycINFO databases for records up until January 2024. We included 20 studies ( n = 1623, 16 randomized controlled trials, and 4 nonrandomized controlled trials) with low or moderate risk of bias included.
Background: The multifaceted nature of Fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) symptoms has been explored through clusters analysis.
Objective: To synthesize the cluster research on FM (variables, methods, patient subgroups, and evaluation metrics).
Methods: We performed a systematic review following the PRISMA recommendations.
Background: The different clinical presentations of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) might play independent roles in the unclear etiology of cognitive impairments and depressive symptoms seen in patients with FMS. Understanding how these clinical presentations are associated with the clinical and neurophysiological aspects of FMS is important for the development of effective treatments.
Aim: To explore the relationship of memory complaints and depressive symptoms with the different clinical and neurophysiological characteristics of FMS.
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique that uses low-amplitude direct currents to alter cortical excitability. Previous trials have established the safety and tolerability of tDCS, and its potential to mitigate symptoms. However, the effects are cumulative, making it more difficult to have adherence to the treatment since frequent visits to the clinic or outpatient center are required.

Data on characteristics and outcomes of coronavirus (COVID)-19 patients complicated with arterial thrombosis (AT) are scarce. Therefore, we carried out a systematic review (PRISMA, PROSPERO statements; PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) to identify risk factors, clinical presentation, treatment, and outcomes. We included publications from December 2019 to October 2020.

Methods: We searched for systematic reviews, cohorts, case series, case reports, editor letters, and venous thromboembolism COVID-19 patients' abstracts following PRISMA and PROSPERO statements. We analyzed therapeutic approaches and clinical outcomes of venous thromboembolism COVID-19 patients.
