Low-Intensity Physical Exercise Improves Pain Catastrophizing and Other Psychological and Physical Aspects in Women with Fibromyalgia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic syndrome characterized by widespread pain and other physical and psychological features. In this study, we aimed to analyze the effect of a low-intensity physical exercise (PE) program, combining endurance training and coordination, on psychological aspects (i.e.

[Incidence of hospitalization for traumatic brain injury in children and adolescents (Valencia Community, Spain, 2002-2009)].

INTRODUCTION. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children and adolescents but there are hardly any studies on the incidence and temporal evolution. AIM.

[The clinical relevance of FDG-PET imaging in severe traumatic brain injuries].

Aim: To evaluate the usefulness of positron emission tomography (PET) as a predictor of long-term disability after a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Patients And Methods: Fifty-six patients who had sustained a severe TBI were assessed with a broad battery of cognitive and functional scales at baseline and 6-months after inclusion in a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program. All patients underwent a FDG-PET at baseline.

[Clinical utility of the 64-card version of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test in patients with traumatic brain injury].

Aims: To analyze the validity of the single deck 64-card Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST-64) compared to the standard version (WCST-128), and to study the sensibility of both versions to identify changes over time in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Patients And Methods: The WCST was administered twice across a 6-month period to a sample of 50 patients with TBI. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to examine bivariate associations between WCST-128 scores and the corresponding WCST-64 scores at inclusion and at follow-up.
