Article Synopsis
- This study explored the impact of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on limb recovery and quality of life after a stroke when used alongside Occupational Therapy (OT).
- The research involved analyzing 8 studies with a total of 358 participants, comparing outcomes between groups receiving only OT and those receiving OT with either FES or tDCS.
- Findings showed that both FES and tDCS improved post-stroke recovery, with FES demonstrating significantly better outcomes in enhancing motor function compared to tDCS.
Article Synopsis
- ICU nurses are at high risk for PTSD, and previous methods of reducing intrusive memories through visuospatial tasks have shown mixed results.
- In a randomized controlled trial, ICU nurses played a music tapping game after experiencing a stressful CPR event to measure its effect on the emotionality of their memories.
- The study found that playing the game with background music significantly reduced the emotional impact of traumatic memories compared to other conditions, suggesting that the experience of "flow" can enhance the effectiveness of memory reconsolidation interventions.
Background: Stroke is a devastating disease and can be sufficiently traumatic to induce post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Post-stroke PTSD is attracting increasing attention, but there was no study assessing the psychometric properties of the PCL-5 in stroke populations. Our study was conducted to examine the psychometric properties of the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) in Chinese stroke patients.
