Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are a set of progressive, chronic, and incurable characterized by the gradual loss neurons, culminating in decline cognitive and/or motor functions. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) Parkinson’s (PD) most common NDs represent an enormous burden both terms human suffering economic cost. The available therapies for AD PD only provide symptomatic palliative relief limited period unable to modify diseases’ progression. Over last decades, research efforts have been focused...
Timing of mobilization after chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) surgery is highly heterogeneous among neurosurgical centers. Past studies have suggested that early may reduce medical complications without increasing recurrence, but evidence remains scarce. The purpose this study was to compare an protocol with a 48-hour bed rest practice, focus on the occurrence complications.The GET-UP Trial prospective, randomized, unicentric, open-label intention-to-treat primary analysis designed evaluate...

Evidence on timing for mobilization after chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) surgery is heterogeneous, and practices differ considerably among neurosurgical centers. The Impact of an Early Out-of-Bed Paradigm in Postoperative Outcomes Chronic Subdural Hematomas: GET-UP Randomized Prospective Trial (GET-UP Trial) a randomized clinical trial comparing postoperative early protocol to bed rest. Previously reported results at discharge 1 month indicated decreased risk medical complications the...
