Abstract: BACKGROUND: Commercial electroencephalography (EEG) devices have become increasingly available over the last decade. These devices have been used in a wide variety of fields ranging from engineering to cognitive neuroscience. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to chart peer-review articles that used currently available consumer-grade EEG devices to collect neural data. We provide an overview of the research conducted with these relatively more affordable and user-friendly devices. We also inform future research by exploring the current and potential scope of consumer-grade EEG. METHODS: We followed a five-stage methodological framework for a scoping review that included a systematic search using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. We searched the following electronic databases: PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and IEEE Xplore. We charted study data according to application (BCI, experimental research, validation, signal processing, and clinical) and location of use as indexed by the first author's country. RESULTS: We identified 916 studies that used data recorded with consumer-grade EEG: 531 were reported in journal articles and 385 in conference papers. Emotiv devices were most used, followed by the NeuroSky MindWave, OpenBCI, interaXon Muse, and MyndPlay Mindband. The most common use was for brain-computer interfaces, followed by experimental research, signal processing, validation, and clinical purposes. CONCLUSIONS: Consumer-grade EEG has proven to be a useful tool for neuroscientific research and will likely continue to be used well into the future. Our study provides a comprehensive review of their application, as well as future directions for researchers who wish to use these devices. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Early Intervention for Children Aged 0 to 2 Years With or at High Risk of Cerebral Palsy: International Clinical Practice Guideline Based on Systematic ReviewsCatherine Morgan, Linda Fetters, Lars Adde, Nadia Badawi, Ada Bancale, Roslyn N Boyd, Olena Chorna, Giovanni Cioni, Diane L Damiano, Johanna Darrah, Linda S de Vries, Stacey Dusing, Christa Einspieler, Ann-Christin Eliasson, Donna Ferriero, Darcy Fehlings, Hans Forssberg, Andrew M Gordon, Susan Greaves, Andrea Guzzetta, Mijna Hadders-Algra, Regina Harbourne, Petra Karlsson, Lena Krumlinde-Sundholm, Beatrice Latal, Alison Loughran-Fowlds, Catherine Mak, Nathalie Maitre, Sarah McIntyre, Cristina Mei, Angela Morgan, Angelina Kakooza-Mwesige, Domenico M Romeo, Katherine Sanchez, Alicia Spittle, Roberta Shepherd, Marelle Thornton, Jane Valentine, Roslyn Ward, Koa Whittingham, Alieh Zamany, Iona Novak.Free articleAbstractImportance: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common childhood physical disability. Early intervention for children younger than 2 years with or at risk of CP is critical. Now that an evidence-based guideline for early accurate diagnosis of CP exists, there is a need to summarize effective, CP-specific early intervention and conduct new trials that harness plasticity to improve function and increase participation. Our recommendations apply primarily to children at high risk of CP or with a diagnosis of CP, aged 0 to 2 years.Objective: To systematically review the best available evidence about CP-specific early interventions across 9 domains promoting motor function, cognitive skills, communication, eating and drinking, vision, sleep, managing muscle tone, musculoskeletal health, and parental support.Evidence review: The literature was systematically searched for the best available evidence for intervention for children aged 0 to 2 years at high risk of or with CP. Databases included CINAHL, Cochrane, Embase, MEDLINE, PsycInfo, and Scopus. Systematic reviews and randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were appraised by A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) or Cochrane Risk of Bias tools. Recommendations were formed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework and reported according to the Appraisal of Guidelines, Research, and Evaluation (AGREE) II instrument.Findings: Sixteen systematic reviews and 27 RCTs met inclusion criteria. Quality varied. Three best-practice principles were supported for the 9 domains: (1) immediate referral for intervention after a diagnosis of high risk of CP, (2) building parental capacity for attachment, and (3) parental goal-setting at the commencement of intervention. Twenty-eight recommendations (24 for and 4 against) specific to the 9 domains are supported with key evidence: motor function (4 recommendations), cognitive skills (2), communication (7), eating and drinking (2), vision (4), sleep (7), tone (1), musculoskeletal health (2), and parent support (5).Conclusions and relevance: When a child meets the criteria of high risk of CP, intervention should start as soon as possible. Parents want an early diagnosis and treatment and support implementation as soon as possible. Early intervention builds on a critical developmental time for plasticity of developing systems. Referrals for intervention across the 9 domains should be specific as per recommendations in this guideline.

Measuring skeletal muscle morphology and architecture with imaging modalities in children with cerebral palsy: a scoping reviewSîan A Williams 1 2, N Susan Stott 2 3, Jane Valentine 4 5, Catherine Elliott 4 6, Siobhán L Reid 7AbstractAim: To investigate the use of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methodologies to assess muscle morphology and architecture in children with cerebral palsy (CP).Method: A scoping review was conducted with systematic searches of Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and PsycInfo for all original articles published up to January 2019 utilizing ultrasound and/or MRI to determine morphological and architectural properties of lower limb skeletal muscle in children with CP.Results: Eighty papers used ultrasound (n=44), three-dimensional ultrasound (n=16), or MRI (n=20) to measure at least one muscle parameter in children and adolescents with CP. Most research investigated single muscles, predominantly the medial gastrocnemius muscle, included children classified in Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I (n=62) and II (n=65), and assessed fascicle length (n=35) and/or muscle volume (n=35). Only 21 papers reported reliability of imaging techniques. Forty-six papers assessed measures of Impairment (n=39), Activity (n=24), and Participation (n=3).Interpretation: Current research study design, variation in methodology, and preferences towards investigation of isolated muscles may oversimplify the complexities of CP muscle but provide a foundation for the understanding of the changes in muscle parameters in children with CP.What this paper adds: Current evidence is biased towards the medial gastrocnemius muscle and more functionally able children with cerebral palsy (CP). Variations in imaging techniques and joint positioning limit comparisons between studies. Clinimetric testing of parameters of CP muscle is not always considered. Assessment of parameter(s) of muscle with measures of participation is sparse.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.05.03.074351v1?rss=1 Authors: Costa, C., Cristea, I. A., Dal Bo, E., Melloni, C., Gentili, C. Abstract: Background: Though aberrant face processing is a hallmark of autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), findings on accompanying brain activity are divergent. Therefore, we conducted an activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta-analysis of studies examining brain activity during face processing. Methods: We searched PubMed and PsycINFO using combinations of terms as fMRI, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Face Perception. Eligible studies reported on DSM-diagnosed ASD patients, compared to controls (HC), using face stimuli presented in fMRI and reporting whole-brain analysis coordinates. We compared two approaches: convergence of differences (primary analysis) using study-level coordinates from ASD vs. HC contrasts, and differences in convergence (secondary) pooling coordinates within each group separately, and contrasting the resultant ALE-maps. Results: Thirty-five studies (655 ASD and 668 HC) were included. Primary analysis identified a cluster in amygdala/parahippocampus where HC showed greater convergence of activation. Secondary analysis yielded no significant results. Conclusions: Results suggest that ASD dysfunction in face processing relies on structures involved in emotional processing rather than perception. We also demonstrate that the two ALE methodologies lead to divergent results. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

This is a step by step guide to using PsycInfo to find tests and measures included in journal articles.

We systematically reviewed the research literature on spiritually and religiously integrated group psychotherapy to answer the following three questions: first, how are spirituality and religiosity defined; second, how are spiritual and religious factors characterized and integrated into group psychotherapy; and, third, what is the outcome of the group psychotherapies? We searched in two databases: PsycINFO and PubMed. Inclusion and exclusion criteria and checklists from standardized assessment tools were applied to the research literature. Qualitative and quantitative papers were included. In total, 8 articles were considered eligible for the review. Findings from the evaluation suggested that the concepts of spirituality and religiosity were poorly conceptualized and the way in which spiritual and religious factors were integrated into such group psychotherapies, which distinguished it from other types of group psychotherapies, was not fully conceptualized or understood either. However, clear and delimited conceptualization of spiritual and religious factors is crucial in order to be able to conclude the direct influences of spiritual or religious factors on outcomes. Implications for spiritually or religiously integrated group psychotherapy and conducting research in this field are propounded.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic disabling disease of the gastrointestinal tract. The disease is strongly associated with limited performance of everyday activities and restrictions in work and employment, recreation and relationships to others, as well as reduced quality of life. Thus, suffering from IBD includes not only impairments of body functions and body structures but also limitations of activities in everyday life and restrictions in participation. Consequentially, a comprehensive approach of functioning and disability is required when addressing the impact of IBD. There are a large number of outcome measures that assess health status problems of persons with IBD. Many of these measures used in clinical practice or research are classification or scoring systems that refer to disease activity and symptomatology in IBD in terms of impaired body functions and structures (e.g., Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI), Harvey Bradshaw Index). Hence, disability and functioning from a comprehensive point of view are poorly addressed in these measures and do not cover the whole spectrum of problems persons with IBD have to deal with. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) offer the possibility to assess health status problems from the perspective of persons suffering a disease. The number of IBD-specific PROMs which focus on aspects of functioning, disability and health (e.g., Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ-32), Rating Form of IBD Patient Concerns (RFIPC), Inflammatory Bowel Disease Stress Index (IBDSI)) has increased over the last years so that the selection of appropriate PROMs for specific purposes or subpopulations has become a challenge for clinicians and researchers. However, up to now it remains unclear whether currently used IBD-specific PROMs cover the whole spectrum of functioning and disability. This doctoral thesis examines the content of IBD-specific PROMs using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as a reference to facilitate the selection of appropriate PROMs by clinicians and researchers. The ICF endorsed by the World Health Organization as a common language of functioning and disability is a proven and useful tool for the examination and comparison of the content of outcome measures. A systematic literature review was performed to identify IBD-specific PROMs used in studies involving persons with IBD. Searches were performed in the literature databases Medline®, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL and CENTRAL. Searches were limited to English articles published between 1999 and 2009. Eligibility checks of abstracts and full-texts were performed applying pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. IBD-specific PROMs reported in the selected studies, as well as study-related characteristics, were extracted. The items of the identified PROMs were translated (“linked”) to the most specific ICF category according to standardized and established linking rules. The linked ICF categories provided the basis of the descriptive analysis and the comparison of the content of the different PROMs presented in this thesis. A total of 9,728 papers were identified by the searches in the five electronic databases. The randomly selected abstracts of 2,579 papers were checked on inclusion and exclusion criteria according to the defined eligibility criteria. Based on this abstract check, 221 studies were identified for further analysis. Screening these 221 full-text articles, 46 studies were finally selected that reported the use of IBD-specific PROMs. The following eight IBD-specific PROMs were identified: Cleveland Global Quality of Life (Faszio Score) (CGQL), Inflammatory Bowel Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (IBDQOL), IBDQ-32, IBDSI, Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire – short form (IBDQ-9), RFIPC, Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ) and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment: Crohn’s Disease (WPAI:CD). In total, these eight IBD-specific PROMs included 129 items which were linked to ICF categories. The most frequently identified ICF categories are 'b1300 Energy level' and 'b5254 Flatulence' (IBDQOL, IBDQ-32, IBDQ-9, RFIPC and SIBDQ), as well as 'd920 Recreation and leisure' (IBDQOL, IBDQ-32, IBDSI, IBS-QOL and SIBDQ). Most of the analyzed questionnaires do not cover a wide range of aspects needed to assess functioning and disability from a comprehensive perspective; they only focus on selected aspects of functioning and disability of persons with IBD (e.g., emotional functions, pain, intimate relationships and remunerative employment). This doctoral thesis provides an item-based examination of the content of IBD- specific PROMs using the ICF as a reference. It offers a clear and precise picture of the addressed PROMs and their contents and enable physicians and researchers a direct comparison of these contents. The ICF was established as a useful framework for examining and comparing IBD-specific PROMs and their items with respect to the areas of functioning and disability covered. This information can be useful in selecting PROMs for clinical practice, as well as for any kind of investigations in which functioning and disability of persons with IBD is a relevant study outcome.

Ziel Rückenschmerzen verursachen hohe sozioökonomische Kosten. Dabei kommt der Gruppe mit chronischen Rückenschmerzen eine besondere Bedeutung zu, da 80% der Behandlungskosten durch diese Patienten verursacht werden. Dies macht Rückenschmerzen neben Erkältungskrankheiten zum teuersten medizinischen Problem, zur teuersten muskuloskeletalen Erkrankung und zur häufigsten Ursache von Arbeitsunfähigkeit unter 45 Jahren. Die Verhinderung der Chronifizierung ist deshalb aus sozioökonomischen, aber auch ethischen Gründen („burden of disease“), ein überaus wichtiges Ziel. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich deshalb mit Wirkmechanismen in der Behandlung von Rückenschmerzen, d.h. mit der Vorhersage des Behandlungserfolgs durch innerhalb eines Behandlungsprogramms erreichte Veränderungen. Zur Behandlung und Sekundärprävention von Rückenschmerzen existieren eine Reihe von Interventionen, deren Effektivität belegt ist. Weitgehend unklar sind jedoch die zugrunde liegenden Wirkmechanismen. Ein besseres Verständnis der Wirkmechanismen würde es ermöglichen, Interventionen effizienter und damit auch kostengünstiger zu gestalten. Teil 1 der Arbeit ist ein systematischer Review, welcher Wirkmechanismen nicht-operativer Behandlungen chronischer Rückenschmerzen analysiert. Teil 2 der Arbeit untersucht relevante Wirkmechanismen in einem trainingstherapeutischen und einem multimodalen Programm zur Sekundärprävention von Rückenschmerzen. Methoden Teil 1: Basierend auf einer systematischen Literatursuche in den Datenbanken Medline, Embase und PsycInfo wurde ein Review erstellt. Es wurden Studien ausgewählt, die u.a. die folgenden Einschlusskriterien erfüllen: (1) Behandlung chronischer Rückschmerzen mit Trainingstherapie, Verhaltenstherapie oder multimodalen Behandlungsansätzen, (2) Analyse von Veränderungen in Prädiktorvariablen und Anteil der aufgeklärten Varianz am Ergebnis mit multivariaten Verfahren, z.B. Regressionsanalysen. Aufgrund der Heterogenität der Daten hinsichtlich erhobener Variablen und eingesetzter statistischer Methoden wurden die Daten deskriptiv ausgewertet und zusammengefasst. Teil 2: Zur Identifizierung relevanter Wirkmechanismen in der Sekundärprävention von Rückenschmerzen wurden Daten einer randomisierten klinischen Studie zur Überprüfung der Effektivität eines Trainings- und eines multimodalen Programms mit multiplen Regressionsanalysen ausgewertet. Es sollten Prädiktorvariablen identifiziert werden, die das Erfolgskriterium „Reduzierung von Beeinträchtigung“ nach Beendigung des Präventionsprogramms am besten vorhersagen. Als potentielle Prädiktorvariablen wurden Veränderungen in psychologischen Variablen und körperlichen Leistungstests berücksichtigt, sowie Interaktionen zwischen dem jeweiligen Programm und den Prädiktorvariablen, um zu überprüfen, ob sich die Wirkmechanismen in beiden Programmen unterscheiden. Ergebnisse Teil 1: Es konnten 13 Studien in den Review eingeschlossen werden. Der Anteil der erklärten Varianz lag zwischen 5% und 71%. In den ausgewerteten Studien zeichnete sich - unabhängig von der Intervention - folgende Tendenz ab: Schmerzreduktion konnte am besten mit einer Abnahme von Beeinträchtigung und zu einem geringeren Teil mit der Verbesserung physischer Leistungsparameter erklärt werden. Abnahme von Beeinträchtigung wiederum wurde am besten sowohl mit Schmerzreduktion, als auch mit einer Zunahme aktiver Copingmechanismen und einer Reduzierung von Fear-avoidance Überzeugungen erklärt. Eine Rückkehr an den Arbeitplatz konnte vor allem durch eine Reduzierung der Beeinträchtigung und zu einem etwas geringeren Teil durch eine Zunahme aktiver Copingmechanismen sowie einer Reduzierung von Fear-avoidance Überzeugungen vorhergesagt werden. Teil 2: In beiden Programmen zur Sekundärprävention von Rückenschmerzen konnte Reduzierung von Beeinträchtigung am besten mit Reduzierung von Schmerzintensität und Katastrophisieren erklärt werden. Die Zunahme von Kraft und Ausdauer hatte keinen statistisch signifikanten Einfluss auf den Behandlungserfolg. Insgesamt konnte durch das finale Modell 68.7% der Varianz erklärt werden. Es wurden keine signifikanten Interaktionen zwischen Programm und Prozessvariablen gefunden. Diskussion und Schlussfolgerungen Die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Arbeit zeigen, dass zur Vorhersage des Behandlungserfolgs bei chronischen Rückenschmerzen, sowie in der Sekundärprävention Veränderungen psychologischer, sowie schmerz- und funktionsbezogener Variablen eine größere Relevanz besitzen, als Verbesserungen körperlicher Leistungsparameter. Diese Ergebnisse stimmen mit den Aussagen bisher publizierter Reviews und anderer Studien überein: Dass nämlich psychologische Faktoren - insbesondere Tendenzen zum Katastrophisieren und fear-avoidance Überzeugungen - sowie Schmerzparameter Chronifizierung und Beeinträchtigung wesentlich besser vorhersagen, als körperliche Parameter. Von besonderer Bedeutung bei den vorliegenden Ergebnissen ist zudem, dass der Behandlungserfolg trainingstherapeutischer und multimodaler Verfahren vorrangig durch psychologische Wirkmechanismen, nämlich Veränderungen psychologischer Faktoren wie dysfunktionalen Überzeugungen, vermittelt wird. Dies ist umso interessanter, als trainingstherapeutische Programme keine direkten psychologischen oder kognitiv-behavioralen Interventionen beinhalten. Der Wert trainingstherapeutischer Interventionen scheint deshalb darin zu liegen, die Erfahrung zu vermitteln, dass Bewegung nicht schädlich ist, und hierdurch dysfunktionale Einstellungen und Bewältigungsstrategien zu verändern. Ob zur Erreichung dieses Ziels die Durchführung aufwändiger Trainingskonzepte an speziellen Geräten notwendig ist, gilt es zu überdenken. In Bezug auf multimodale Programme könnten die Ergebnisse bedeuten, den Schwerpunkt auf verhaltens- und erfahrungsorientierte - im Gegensatz zu edukativen und kognitiven Inhalten - zu legen.
