Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between motor subtypes of Parkinson's disease (PD) and the severity of depressive symptoms, suggesting that non-motor symptoms, particularly related to sleep, are critical to understanding patient disability.
- It involved 64 PD patients categorized into two groups: those with postural instability and gait disorder (PIGD) and those with other motor symptoms, using various assessment tools to measure sleep quality and mood.
- Results showed that PIGD patients experienced more severe depressive symptoms and poorer sleep quality, indicating that sleep issues could predict higher depression severity in PD patients.
Background: Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) are a high-risk group for neuropathic pain.
Objective: to investigate predictors of neuropathic dysesthetic pain (NDP) occurrence and chronification in patients with MS during a 2-year observation period.
Methods: After the exclusion criteria application and signing of informed consent, we recruited in the study 241 patients among which 23 patients prematurely stopped participating in the study.
Objective: The aim: We studied prevalence, intensity and predictors of fatigue in patient with episodic migraine (EM).
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We enrolled in the study 85 patients with EM and 88 healthy subjects. Fatigue was identified according to Fatigue Severity Scale.
Optimal management of airplane headache (AH) is still unresolved. A female, 53 years, complained of severe short-lasting jabbing pain attacks over the forehead and in the eyebrows, mainly on the left side, that occur during take-off and landing. Neurological, opthalmological, and otolaryngological examinations and brain MRI were normal.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: There were examined 195 patients with PH who were previously consulted by different specialists due to headaches. We analyzed previously established diagnoses, previous consultations and prescribed investigations due to headache, drugs that were prescribed for headache treatment.
Objective: The aim of this study were to assess clinical (cutaneous allodynia) and neurophysiological (R2 nBR component) markers of the nociceptive trigeminal-cervical pathway sensitization in the abdominally obese patients with episodic (EM) and chronic migraine (CM).
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: It had been recorded nBR within interictal period in 79 migraineurs with EM and CM who had abdominal obesity (AO) and normal body weight (NBW).
Results: Results: Patients with EM and AO had significantly lower pain thresholds than patients with EM and NBW - 0,55 (0,34-0,63) μV vs 0,70 (0,59-1,03) μV.
Objective: Introduction: Post-stroke fatigue (PSF) is a common and often debilitating sequel of both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. The aim: Assess the rates and intensities of PSF over the second half year after stroke.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: There were examined 128 patients at 6, 9 and 12 months after ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke onset.
Introduction: Post-stroke fatigue (PSF) is a common stroke complication with long-term negative consequences.
Aim: Assess the rates of certain PSF domains within first 3 months after different acute cerebrovascular events (ACE) and identify clinical factors associated with each PSF domain.
Material And Methods: There were examined 285 patients (195 with ischemic strokes, 39 with hemorrhagic strokes and 51 with transient ischemic attacks (TIA)) consequently at hospital stay, in 1 month and in 3 months after ACE.
Introduction: Post-stroke fatigue (PSF) is a common stroke complication with long-term negative consequences.
Aim: Assess the qualitative and quantitative PSF characteristics during 3 month post-stroke period.
Materials And Methods: There were examined 141 patients with acute ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes at hospital stay, in 1, 2 and 3 months after stroke.
