Patients with chronic daily headache have high frequencies of psychiatric comorbidity or psychologic distress in clinic-based studies. The presence of psychologic distress contributes to poor quality of life in patients with chronic daily headache. Antidepressants are effective in the treatment of chronic daily headache and its comorbid depression symptoms, although there is a discrepancy in the treatment response between chronic daily headache and comorbid depression. Comorbid major depression was a poor outcome predictor for chronic daily headache in clinic-based studies; however, the presence of psychologic distress did not predict the prognosis in population-based studies.A systematic investigation of psychiatric comorbidity is emphasized in patients with chronic daily headache and aims at a more comprehensive clinical management. Large-scale, longitudinal surveys and clinical trials specifically for psychiatric comorbidity of chronic daily headache are warranted to answer whether a syndromic relationship exists between different chronic daily headache subtypes and different psychiatric disorders, and to provide evidence-based treatment options for this large group of patients.

Single-centre, double-blinded, randomised placebo-controlled trial to determine the effect of a 12-week home-based programme of footplate neuromuscular electrical stimulation on walking capacity in people with peripheral artery disease: a protocol for the Foot-PAD trial.

Introduction: Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) can experience intermittent claudication, which limits walking capacity and the ability to undertake daily activities. While exercise therapy is an established way to improve walking capacity in people with PAD, it is not feasible in all patients. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) provides a way to passively induce repeated muscle contractions and has been widely used as a therapy for chronic conditions that limit functional capacity.

Introduction: Sepsis is a serious condition that may lead to death or profoundly affect the well-being of those who survive. The aim of this systematic review was to identify and summarize evidence on the impact of all-cause sepsis on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), physical, cognitive, and psychological outcomes among sepsis survivors in the USA.
Methods: Studies assessing HRQoL, physical, cognitive, and psychological outcomes in patients who survived an episode of sepsis and published from January 1, 2010, to September 30, 2023, were systematically identified through EMBASE, MEDLINE, and MEDLINE In-Process databases, as well as through gray literature.
