Introduction: Although motor imagery (MI) has been reported to increase motor cortical excitability, its effect on central motor conduction time (CMCT), a widely used neurophysiological diagnostic method, has not been investigated. In this study, we sought to determine the effect of MI on CMCT.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 21 healthy volunteers (11 females, 10 males) aged 24 to 67 years (mean age: 38.
Objective: We aimed to investigate sleep disorders in patients with epilepsy (PWE) and to investigate the effects of sleep disorders on quality of life.
Methods: In our multicenter study conducted in Turkey, 1358 PWE were evaluated. The demographic and clinical data of the patients were recorded.
Introduction/aims: MScanFit motor unit number estimation (MUNE) is a promising method for motor unit estimation and is reported to have good reliability in distal and small muscles. In this study, we investigated the reliability of MScanFit MUNE in a proximal forearm muscle, the flexor carpi ulnaris.
Methods: Twenty healthy volunteers were included in this study, and 15 participants were re-evaluated in a second session.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between headaches and idiopathic/genetic epilepsy (I/GE) in patients aged 6-40 years, focusing on headache prevalence and characteristics among these individuals.
- Out of 809 patients, 62.8% reported headaches, with 87.4% experiencing interictal headaches and 41.2% having migraines; the analysis identified distinct clusters based on headache and epilepsy features for both adults and children/adolescents.
- Two primary clusters emerged: one included patients with a family history of headaches and specific seizure types (like juvenile myoclonic epilepsy), while the other contained patients with different characteristics, including those with self-limited epilepsy and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. *
