Article Synopsis
- Understanding how personality traits and demographics affect outcomes like job performance and mental health in people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can help improve treatment and support strategies.
- Researchers studied 384 individuals with MS to see how factors like age, education, and personality traits, specifically conscientiousness and neuroticism, influenced various outcomes.
- Results indicated that younger age and higher education led to better outcomes, while higher neuroticism was linked to increased anxiety and depression, and women experienced more anxiety than men.
- Future interventions should target individuals with high neuroticism and consider other factors such as social support and coping strategies to enhance understanding and management of MS.
Background: We aimed to determine the effects and tolerability of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on apathy in patients with neurodegenerative conditions, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), stroke, and traumatic brain injury (TBI) via systematic review.
Methods: We conducted a systematic search in major electronic health databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and PsycINFO, covering the period from inception to June 2023. Comparative clinical trials and cohort studies, and studies with before-after designs were considered for inclusion.
