Article Synopsis
- * A study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of high-resolution MRI in detecting pathologies of the greater occipital nerve (GON) in chronic headache patients, utilizing a specialized imaging protocol.
- * MRI successfully identified four key GON pathologies validated through surgical examination, suggesting its potential for providing objective evidence of nerve issues related to headaches, with further research needed to make it a standard diagnostic tool.
Article Synopsis
- - Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) helps identify microstructural changes in peripheral nerves and is particularly effective for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) by measuring the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of the median nerve.
- - A comprehensive review involving 22 studies found that patients with CTS had significantly lower median nerve ADC values compared to healthy controls, indicating altered nerve structure at key anatomical locations like the distal radioulnar joint, pisiform, and hamate.
- - To improve CTS diagnosis, it's suggested that specific ADC cut-off values be established for different anatomical levels, and future research should utilize wrist coils for enhanced measurement accuracy.
Introduction: Several reports have described the use of amantadine for managing symptoms in Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD); however, amantadine's role for the treatment of MBD symptoms is unclear. Here, we describe 2 patients with MBD who were treated with amantadine and hypothesize a potential mechanism responsible for clinical benefit. .

The purpose of this study was to summarize the reported efficacy of transcutaneous single nerve stimulators in management of migraine frequency and severity.
Methods: A systematic review of five databases identified studies treating migraines with transcutaneous stimulation of a single nerve.
