Many acquired brain injuries are not static and people can improve their condition over time. At our #BrainInjuryAwareness Day, Debjani Mukherjee, PhD, HEC-C, associate professor of medical ethics in clinical medicine and clinical rehabilitation medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, discusses the importance of encouraging those with an acquired brain injury to make more of their own decisions. Despite good intentions from loved ones, intervention in a patient's decision making could impact their confidence to make future major and minor choices. Through our work at Vista Centre Brain Injury Services, we empower those with acquired brain injuries, as well as their families, to feel safe and confident in making those small and big decisions.

🗣️ We are extcited to share our new scoping review on #cramps and #spasms in individuals with #spasticity 👉 Cramps and spasms probably represent similar symptoms with partly overlapping pathphysiology 👀 Clinicians must consider that part of the patient’s spams may be attributed to cramps 💊Cramps may be an underestimated - and potentially mistreated phenomenon - in spasticity.

Researchers, prioritizing new treatments for depression, explore spinal cord stimulation as a potential solution. In a pilot clinical trial led by University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, 20 volunteers with depression received a customized electric buzz via a black box placed on their spinal cord, resulting in improved depressive symptoms compared to a placebo charge. This promising avenue warrants further investigation for its therapeutic potential. URL https://lnkd.in/eC5J7WrQ #ResearchInSpine #NaveenSpine #DrNaveenTahasildar #SpineHealth #SpineProblems
