Children who have neurological disorders and experience pain are often not able to articulate how their pain affects them. That’s why it’s important for clinicians to understand the brain’s role in the experience of pain and how to help these patients and their families navigate their pain. Joining Dr. Charles Turck to share best practices for counseling and treating pain in children with neurological disorders are Drs. Lauren Treat and Wendy Gaultney, who presented a session on this topic at the 2024 American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting.

Medical gaslighting refers to the situation where a medical professional disregards an individual's health concerns. It most often affects patients suffering from neurological disorders like long COVID and MS, and it can be extremely damaging to the physician-patient relationship. This underscores the importance of knowing how to recognize and reduce medical gaslighting in clinical practice, which is why Dr. Michele Longo is here to discuss the “Healing Doubt: Confronting and Overcoming Medical Gaslighting” session she presented at the 2024 AAN Annual Meeting.

Occupational therapists (OT) play a crucial role in the management of schizophrenia by focusing on enhancing the patient’s ability to engage in meaningful activities and daily life tasks. Working towards a goal that a patient has by breaking it down into smaller parts is one of the ways to help a patient be successful and spark motivation. Dive in further on how OT’s assist patients through first-episode psychosis and subsequent life changes with Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Ashley Baker as she speaks with Lauren Walker, Occupational Therapist at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine.

In 2016, an International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) recommended that comorbidities be more clearly and consistently described in enrolled clinical trial populations for common comorbidities so we can better understand the applicability of these trial findings to those in clinical practice. And so a recent study investigated the prevalence of comorbidities in MS clinical trial populations and found that 46 percent of the participants had one or more comorbid condition. Dive further into the findings from the study that was presented at the 2023 joint ECTRIMS-ACTRIMS meeting with Ashley Baker and Dr. Amber Salter, Associate Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.

Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) are an effective option for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). In fact, a recent study presented at the 2023 joint ECTRIMS-ACTRIMS meeting in Italy found that MS patients being treated with a DMT had better cognitive function than those who were not. However, the same study also found that women are less likely than men to receive DMT treatment. Dive further into the findings with Dr. Andrew Wilner and Dr. Victoria Leavitt, Assistant Professor of Neuropsychology at Columbia University.

Despite the fact that categorial scores like the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and the MS Severity Scale (MSSS) are considered to be the gold standard, a recent study found that the Scripps Neurological Rating Scale (SNRS) and the Combinatorial Weight-Adjusted Disability Score (CombiWISE) may be better suited for assessing disability in patients who are severely affected by MS. Learn more about this study’s findings with Dr. Andrew Wilner and Dr. Dejan Jakimovski, a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at the University of Buffalo who presented this research at the joint 2023 ECTRIMS-ACTRIMS meeting.

Catatonia is a neuropsychiatric condition characterized by disturbances in psychomotor function, stemming from various disorders impacting brain function. And while catatonia is not specifically related to schizophrenia alone, it’s important to know how to recognize and treat schizophrenic patients with catatonic symptoms. That’s why psychiatric nurse practitioner Ashley Baker speaks with Dr. Stanley Caroff about his research focusing on the management of schizophrenia with catatonic symptoms. Dr. Caroff is an Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine.
