Psychiatric Evaluation and Management in Pediatric Spinal Cord Injuries: a Review.

Curr Psychiatry Rep

Department of Psychiatry, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Department of Pediatrics, C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, University of Michigan Hospital Systems, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.

Published: May 2021

Purpose Of Review: To summarize current key recommendations in the evaluation and management of mental health disorders associated with spinal cord injuries (SCI) among pediatric patients, based on a review of recent evidence-based literature and clinical experience.

Recent Findings: Anticipating potential mental health risks among youth with SCI and implementing early multidisciplinary management improves physical and mental health outcomes. When caregivers of youth with SCI model healthy coping strategies, it promotes healthy coping strategies in patients themselves. Peer mentor programs can be instrumental in patient adjustment, improve mental health, and aid in recovery. Pediatric SCI is particularly impactful on a child's development and individuation. Early involvement of a mental health team while in the hospital can help with the initial adjustment period and address psychiatric concerns that might interfere with recovery. The transition from the hospital to home is a period of vulnerability for individuals with SCI.

Electronic address:

Background: Despite syntheses of evidence showing efficacy of music intervention for improving psychological and physiological outcomes in critically ill patients, interventions that include nonmusic sounds have not been addressed in reviews of evidence. It is unclear if nonmusic sounds in the intensive care unit (ICU) can confer benefits similar to those of music.

Objective: The aim of this study was to summarise and contrast available evidence on the effect of music and nonmusic sound interventions for the physiological and psychological outcomes of ICU patients based on the results of randomised controlled trials.

Center on Aging Psychology, CAS Key Laboratory of Mental Health, Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China.

Introduction: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is linked to memory complaints and disruptions in certain brain regions identified by molecular imaging and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging studies. However, it remains unclear how these regions interact to contribute to both subjective and potential objective memory issues in SCD.

Methods: To address this gap, task-based imaging studies are essential.
