Letter to the Editor: the application of transcranial direct current stimulation on phantom phenomena

open access: yesMediterranean Journal of Clinical Psychology, 2020
Phantom limb phenomena are often reported by patients after the amputation or deafferentation of limbs. The most debilitating condition is named phantom limb pain and, to present, an efficacious treatment is not been identify, yet.

“I Dreamed of My Hands and Arms Moving Again”: A Case Series Investigating the Effect of Immersive Virtual Reality on Phantom Limb Pain Alleviation

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2020
Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a type of chronic pain that follows limb amputation, brachial plexus avulsion injury, or spinal cord injury. Treating PLP is a well-known challenge.

Domain Specific Placebo Response in the Modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The placebo response in clinical trials in ataxias complicates outcome interpretation and potentially obscures genuine treatment effects. We analyzed placebo group data from past trials in Friedreich Ataxia and observed notable responses in appendicular items, in contrast to minimal changes in axial function, as measured by respective ...

Recent advances in understanding and managing phantom limb pain

open access: yesF1000Research, 2019
Post-amputation phantom limb pain (PLP) is highly prevalent and very difficult to treat. The high-prevalence, high-pain intensity levels, and decreased quality of life associated with PLP compel us to explore novel avenues to prevent, manage, and reverse

Network Localization of Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Fatigue is among the most common symptoms and one of the main factors determining the quality of life in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying fatigue are not fully understood. Here we studied lesion locations and their connections in individuals with MS, aiming to identify brain networks ...

Dorsolateral Cervical Cord T2 Hyperintensity in KIF1C‐Related Disease (Spastic Paraplegia 58): Two Long‐Duration Cases

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in KIF1C cause Spastic Paraplegia 58 (SPG58), typically presenting with cerebellar ataxia and spastic paraparesis. We report two unrelated patients with spastic paraparesis, cerebellar ataxia, and tremor. Whole‐exome sequence analysis identified novel homozygous variants in the motor domain of KIF1C (NM_006612.6): c.921G>A (

Induced sensorimotor brain plasticity controls pain in phantom limb patients

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Pain in a phantom limb after limb deafferentation may be due to maladaptive sensorimotor representation. Here the authors find that sensorimotor plasticity induced by BMI training with the phantom hand, contrary to expectation, increased pain while ...

Post‐COVID Fatigue Is Associated With Reduced Cortical Thickness After Hospitalization

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neuropsychiatric symptoms are among the most prevalent sequelae of COVID‐19, particularly among hospitalized patients. Recent research has identified volumetric brain changes associated with COVID‐19. However, it currently remains poorly understood how brain changes relate to post‐COVID fatigue and cognitive deficits.

Stimulation of the Semicircular Canals or the Utricles by Clinical Tests Can Modify the Intensity of Phantom Limb Pain

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2019
Background: After amputation, phantom limb pain may be produced by the multisensory processes underling the experience of an intact body. Clinical evidence has shown that cold caloric vestibular stimulation may modify the perception of phantom limb pain.
