Parents of young athletes play a major role in the identification and management sports-related concussions. However, they are often unaware consequences concussions recommended techniques.This study quantitatively assessed parental understanding to identify specific populations need additional education. We predicted that parents with increased education prior sports- concussion-related experience would have more knowledge safer attitudes toward concussions.Cross-sectional survey.Level...
Orthopedic injuries are the leading cause of hospital admissions in USA, and many these patients transition into chronic pain. Currently, there no evidence-based interventions targeting prevention pain with orthopedic injuries. We iteratively developed a four-session intervention "The Toolkit for Optimal Recovery" (TOR) which we plan to subsequently test efficacy phase III hybrid efficacy-effectiveness multi-site clinical trial. In order prevent methodological weaknesses subsequent trial,...
Chronic pain is associated with poor physical and emotional functioning. Nonpharmacological interventions can help, but improvements are small not sustained. Previous clinical trials do follow recommendations to comprehensively target objectively measured performance-based function in addition self-reported function.
Background: Increasing physical function is a challenging, yet imperative goal of pain management programs. Physical activity can improve function, but uptake low due to chronic misconceptions, poor skills, and doing too much soon. Purpose: To increase by 1) adapting an evidence-based, group, mind-body program address the needs patients with heterogeneous facilitate individually tailored quota-based pacing Fitbit (GetActive Fitbit) or without it (GetActive) (phase 1), 2) assessing...
Abstract Background A stroke is a sudden, life-altering event with potentially devastating consequences for survivors and their loved ones. Despite advances in endovascular neurocritical care approaches to treatment recovery, there remains considerable unmet need interventions targeting the emotional impact of both patients informal caregivers. This important because untreated distress becomes chronic negatively impacts quality life Our team previously used mixed methods iteratively develop...

Neurofibromatoses (NF) are rare genetic conditions associated with substantial psychosocial burden and impaired quality of life (QoL). We developed the first NF-tailored mind-body program (the Relaxation Response Resiliency Program for NF) adapted it delivery via live videoconferencing to decrease participation barriers increase its reach. In a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT), we found that NF had excellent feasibility acceptability when delivered videoconferencing; furthermore,...

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering disorder that typically occurs in older adults. The etiopathogenesis of BP unclear, although viral triggers have been reported. We present a case new onset pauci-cellular patient admitted to Intensive Care Unit from acute COVID-19 infection. Our proposes add the coronavirus list potential BP. Moreover, clinicians should be aware same at-risk population for bullous diseases may also infection responsible current pandemic.
