Clinical characteristics and impact on patient-reported outcomes and quality of life of people with ambulatory secondary progressive multiple sclerosis: DISCOVER study.

Background: People with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (pwSPMS) experience increasing disability, which impacts negatively on their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Our aims were to assess the impact of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) on functional status and HRQoL and describe the clinical profile in this population.

Methods: DISCOVER is an observational, cross-sectional, multicenter study with retrospective data collection in real-world clinical practice in Spain.

Hypomimia in Parkinson's Disease: What Is It Telling Us?

Amimia is one of the most typical features of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, its significance and correlation with motor and nonmotor symptoms is unknown. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between amimia and motor and nonmotor symptoms, including cognitive status, depression, and quality of life in PD patients.

Transcutaneous Supraorbital Stimulation as a Preventive Treatment for Chronic Migraine: A Prospective, Open-Label Study.

Background And Objective: Successful preventive treatment in chronic migraine (CM) remains an unmet need in some cases, and new therapeutic strategies are emerging. We aimed to test the effect of noninvasive, transcutaneous supraorbital nerve stimulation (tSNS) in a group of patients with CM.

Patients And Methods: This was an open label, quasi-experimental design.

The Multiple Faces of Nervous System Lymphoma. Atypical Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features and Contribution of the Advanced Imaging.

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an uncommon variant of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which involves the brain, leptomeninges, eyes, or spinal cord without evidence of systemic disease. In addition to a detailed history and physical examination, the evaluation of patients suspected of having a PCNSL should include a contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. Occassionaly, PCNSL shows peculiarities on magnetic resonance imaging, which delay the diagnosis and thus the start of treatment.

Epicrania fugax: ten new cases and therapeutic results.

Objective: We aimed to report 10 new cases of epicrania fugax (EF), showing their clinical features and therapeutic responses.

Background: Epicrania fugax has been recently described as a paroxysmal head pain starting in a focal area located at a posterior cranial region and rapidly spreading forward to the ipsilateral eye or nose along a linear or zigzag trajectory. In some patients the pain is followed by ocular or nasal autonomic features.

Paroxysmal head pain with backward radiation: will epicrania fugax go in the opposite direction?

Epicrania fugax (EF) has been recently described as a paroxysmal head pain starting in a focal cranial area of the posterior scalp and rapidly spreading forward to the ipsilateral eye or nose along a linear or zigzag trajectory. Here we report two patients presenting with the same clinical features, except for the starting site and the direction of the pain. Unilateral pain paroxysms occurred on either side of the head, with a quick backward radiation along a linear trajectory.
