OBJECTIVE This study investigates the impact of basal ganglia intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) on default mode network (DMN) connectivity and its relationship with cognitive impairment using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). METHOD DMN differences between left/right basal ganglia ICH patients and healthy controls were analyzed respectively. Co-altered brain region...
Rehabilitative measures following spinal cord injury (SCI) typically fail to mitigate the psychological symptoms that might heighten pain levels. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) have been proposed to address such concerns. We aim to review the literature on MBI used for pain, anxiety, and depression in SCI. A systematic literature search for studies using MBI in patients with pain and...
The aim of the current study is to investigate structural changes on brain MRI using voxel based morphometry (VBM) related to an eight-week mindfulness based intervention (MBI) in Parkinson's Disease (PD). A total of 27 out of 30 PD patients completed a randomized controlled longitudinal trial. Fourteen patients participated in a structured eight-week program of MBI. Thirteen patients received...
