Efficacy of a dual task protocol on neurophysiological and clinical outcomes in migraine: a randomized control trial. Neurol Sci 2024:10.1007/s10072-024-07611-8. [PMID: 38806882 DOI: 10.1007/s10072-024-07611-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
The main aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a dual task protocol in people with episodic migraine with respect to both active exercises only and cognitive task only treatments, concerning some neurophysiological and clinical outcomes. A randomized control trial was adopted in people with episodic migraine without aura. Some neurophysiological and clinical outcomes were collected (t0): resting motor threshold (rMT), short intracortical inhibition (SICI) and facilitation (ICF), pressure pain threshold (PPT), trail making test (TMT), frontal assessment battery (FAB), headache-related disability (MIDAS) and headache parameters. Then, participants were randomized into three groups: active exercise only (n = 10), cognitive task only (n = 10) and dual task protocol (n = 10). After 3 months of each treatment and after 1-month follow-up the same neurophysiological and clinical outcomes were revaluated. A significant time x group effect was only found for the trapezius muscle (p = 0.012, pη2 = 0.210), suggesting that PPT increased significantly only in active exercise and dual task protocol groups. A significant time effect was found for rMT (p < 0.001, pη2 = 0.473), MIDAS (p < 0.001, pη2 = 0.426), TMT (p < 0.001, pη2 = 0.338) and FAB (p < 0.001, pη2 = 0.462). A repeated measures ANOVA for SICI at 3 ms highlighted a statistically significant time effect for the dual task group (p < 0.001, pη2 = 0.629), but not for the active exercises group (p = 0.565, pη2 = 0.061), and for the cognitive training (p = 0.357, pη2 = 0.108). The dual task protocol seems to have a more evident effect on both habituation and sensitization outcomes than the two monotherapies taken alone in people with migraine.

The Executive-Function-Related Cognitive-Motor Dual Task Walking Performance and Task Prioritizing Effect on People with Parkinson's Disease. Healthcare (Basel) 2023; 11:healthcare11040567. [PMID: 36833101 PMCID: PMC9956339 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare11040567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/04/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023] Open
Abstract
To safely walk in a community environment requires dual cognitive-walking ambulation ability for people with Parkinson's disease (PD). A past study showed inconsistent results on cognitive-walking performance for PD patients, possibly due to the various cognitive tasks used and task priority assignment. This study designed cognitive-walking tests that used executive-related cognitive tasks to evaluate patients with early-stage Parkinson's disease who did not have obvious cognitive deficits. The effect of assigning task prioritization was also evaluated. Sixteen individuals with PD (PD group) and 16 individuals without PD (control group) underwent single cognitive tests, single walking tests, dual walking tests, and prioritizing task tests. Three types of cognitive, spatial memory, Stroops, and calculation tasks were employed. The cognitive performance was evaluated by response time, accuracy, and speed-accuracy trade off composite score. The walking performance was evaluated by the temporal spatial gait characteristics and variation in gait. The results showed that the walking performance of the PD group was significantly worse than the control group in both single and dual walking conditions. The group difference in cognitive performance was shown in composite score under the dual calculation walking task but not under the single task. While assigning priority to walking, no group difference in walking was observed but the response accuracy rate of PD groups declined. This study concluded that the dual task walking test could sharpen the cognitive deficits for early-stage PD patients. The task priority assignment might not be recommended while testing gait deficits since it decreased the ability to discriminate group differences.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Impaired gait is observed in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) in both single-task (ST) and dual-task (DT) conditions. Non-motor symptoms (NMSs), another vital symptom future experienced along the PD disease trajectory, contribute to gait performance in PD. However, whether DT gait performance is indicative of NMS burden (NMSB) remains unknown. This study investigated correlation between NMS and DT gait performance and whether NMSB is reflected in the DT effects (DTEs) of gait parameters in PD. METHODS Thirty-three idiopathic PD participants were enrolled in this study; the median H-Y staging was 2.5. NMSB was assessed by Non-motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS). Spatiotemporal gait parameters under ST and DT conditions were evaluated by wearable sensors. Gait parameters under ST and DT conditions and DTEs of gait parameters were compared across NMSB groups. The associations between NMS and DTEs of gait parameters were analyzed by correlation analysis and linear regression models. RESULTS Compared to PD patients with mild-moderate NMSB, the severe-very severe NMSB group showed slower gait speed and shorter stride length under both ST and DT conditions (p < 0.05). DT had significantly negative effect on gait parameters in PD patients, including gait speed, stride length, and gait cycle duration (p < 0.05). PD patients with mild-moderate NMSB showed larger DTEs of cadence and bilateral gait cycle duration (p < 0.05). DTEs of bilateral gait cycle duration and swing phase on the more affected (MA) side were significantly correlated with NMSS scores (∣rSp∣ ≥ 0.3, p < 0.05). Gait cycle duration on the less affected (LA) side explained 43% of the variance in NMSS scores, when accounting for demographic and clinical confounders (β = - 1.095 95% CI - 4.061 ~ - 0.058, p = 0.044; adjusted R2 = 0.434). CONCLUSION DT gait performance could reflect NMSB in PD patients at early stage, and gait cycle duration is a valuable gait parameter to further investigate and to provide more evidence for PD management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Multivariate signal (MS) analysis, especially the assessment of its information transmission (for example, from the perspective of network science), is the key to our understanding of various phenomena in biology, physics and economics. Although there is a large amount of literature demonstrating that MS can be decomposed into space-time-frequency domain information, there seems to be no research confirming that multivariate information transmission (MIT) in these three domains can be quantified. Therefore, in this study, we attempted to combine dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) and parallel communication model (PCM) together to realize it. METHODS We first regarded MS as a large-scale system and then used DMD to decompose it into specific subsystems with their own intrinsic oscillatory frequencies. At the same time, the transition probability matrix (TPM) of information transmission within and between MS at two consecutive moments in each subsystem can also be calculated. Then, communication parameters (CPs) derived from each TPM were calculated in order to quantify the MIT in the space-time-frequency domain. In this study, multidimensional electroencephalogram (EEG) signals were used to illustrate our method. RESULTS Compared with traditional EEG brain networks, this method shows greater potential in EEG analysis to distinguish between patients and healthy controls. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates the feasibility of measuring MIT in the space-time-frequency domain simultaneously. SIGNIFICANCE This study shows that MIT analysis in the space-time-frequency domain is not only completely different from the MS decomposition in these three domains, but also can reveal many new phenomena behind MS that have not yet been discovered.

Dual task effect on upper and lower extremity skills in different stages of Parkinson's disease. Acta Neurol Belg 2022:10.1007/s13760-022-02007-x. [PMID: 35776407 DOI: 10.1007/s13760-022-02007-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2021] [Accepted: 06/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Loss of automaticity and deteriorated executive function give rise to dual task deficits in Parkinson's disease (PD). This study aimed to compare single task and dual task upper and lower extremity skills in people with PD (PwPD) at different stages of PD and to examine the dual task effect (DTE) on upper and lower extremity skills in PwPD at different stages of PD. The second aim was to investigate the relationship between the DTE and the quality of life in PwPD. METHODS 30 patients divided into 2 groups as mild PD group and moderate PD group according to the Modified Hoehn & Yahr Scale. 15 age matched healthy adults were recruited as the control group. The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), the Purdue Pegboard Test (PPT), the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), the 10 Meter Walk Test (10MWT), and the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8) were used for assessments. RESULTS Single task and dual task scores of all assessments of all groups were significantly different. The DTE on PPT was greater in mild and moderate PD groups than control group and significantly lower in mild PD group than moderate PD group. However, DTE on the TUG and 10MWT was not different in mild PD group than control group and DTE significantly lower in both groups than moderate PD group. Significant correlations between the DTE on PPT, TUG and 10MWT and the PDQ-8 in PwPD were observed. CONCLUSION Dual task has a worsening effect on upper and lower extremity skills in PwPD. This effect can be observed earlier in upper extremity skills than lower extremity skills. Also, the DTE and the QoL in PwPD are related.

Attentional focus effect on dual-task walking in Parkinson's disease with and without freezing of gait. GeroScience 2022; 45:177-195. [PMID: 35726118 PMCID: PMC9886752 DOI: 10.1007/s11357-022-00606-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
In Parkinson's disease, the optimal attentional focus strategy for dual-task walking may vary with freezing of gait (FOG), due to different severities of impaired automaticity. The study aimed to investigate (i) the immediate effect of attentional focus on dual-task walking in participants with and without FOG, and (ii) the training effect of attentional focus on walking, FOG, and falls. In experiment 1, FOG and non-FOG groups (16 participants each) performed a dual-task of holding two interlocking rings apart while walking, either without attention instruction or with instructions to focus attention internally or externally. Gait parameters and ring-touching times were measured. In experiment 2, 30 participants with FOG were randomized to 6 weeks of dual-task training with internal-focus or external-focus instruction. Before and after training, we recorded timed up-and-go (TUG) and TUG dual-task (TUGdt) in on-medication and off-medication states, and the numbers of FOG episodes and falls. The non-FOG group showed less step length variability and shorter ring-touching times with external-focus. The FOG group showed less step length variability, less cadence, increased gait velocity, and longer step lengths with internal-focus compared to external-focus and no-focus instructions. Both internal-focus and external-focus training reduced FOG and falls after intervention, but only internal-focus training reduced TUG and TUGdt in both on-medication and off-medication states. Our findings suggest external-focus would enhance walking automaticity and the concurrent task accuracy for non-freezers, whereas for freezers, internal-focus could increase gait stability and lead to a more positive effect on improving locomotion control and reducing falling risk.

Abstract
Background and PurposeFreezing of gait (FOG) is a common gait disturbance phenomenon in multiple system atrophy (MSA) patients. The current investigation assessed the incidence FOG in a cross-sectional clinical study, and clinical correlations associated with it.MethodsNinety-nine MSA patients from three hospitals in China were consecutively enrolled in the study. Eight patients were subsequently excluded from the analysis due to incomplete information. The prevalence of FOG symptoms in the MSA cohort was determined, and clinical manifestations in MSA patients with and without FOG were assessed.ResultsOf 91 MSA patients, 60 (65.93%) exhibited FOG. The incidence of FOG increased with disease duration and motor severity and was correlated with modified Hoehn and Yahr (H-Y) stages [odds ratio (OR), 0.54; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.33–3.92], longer disease duration (OR, 0.54, 95% CI, 0.37–0.78), higher Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (UMSARS) score (OR, 0.96, 95% CI, 0.93–0.99), MSA-cerebellum subtype (OR, 2.99, 95% CI, 1.22–7.33), levodopa-equivalent dose (LDED) (OR, 0.998, 95% CI, 0.997–1.00), and higher Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) score (OR, 0.80, 95% CI, 0.72–0.89) (logistic regression). Motor dysfunction was significantly positively associated with lower quality of life scores (p < 0.01).ConclusionFOG is a common symptom in MSA patients and it is correlated with poor quality of life, disease progression and severity, levodopa-equivalent dose, and cerebellum impairment.

Abstract
Introduction Freezing of gait (FOG) is one of the most common walking problems in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Impaired cognitive function is believed to play an important role in developing and aggravating FOG in PD. But some evidence suggests that motor function discrepancy may affect testing results. Therefore, we think it is necessary for PD-FOG(+) and PD-FOG(−) patients to complete neuropsychological tests under similar motor conditions. Methods This study recruited 44 idiopathic PD patients [PD-FOG(+) n = 22, PD-FOG(−) n = 22] and 20 age-matched healthy controls (HC). PD-FOG(+) and PD-FOG(−) patients were matched for age, year of education, and Hoehn and Yahr score (H&Y). All participants underwent a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological assessment, and demographical and clinical information was also collected. Results PD patients showed poorer cognitive function, higher risks of depression and anxiety, and more neuropsychiatric symptoms compared with HC. When controlling for age, years of education, and H&Y, there were no statistical differences in cognitive function between PD-FOG(+) and PD-FOG(−) patients. But PD-FOG(+) patients had worse motor and non-motor symptoms than PD-FOG(−) patients. PD patients whose motor symptoms initiated with rigidity and initiated unilaterally were more likely to experience FOG. Conclusion Traditional neuropsychological testing may not be sensitive enough to detect cognitive impairment in PD. Motor symptoms initiated with rigidity and initiated unilaterally might be an important predictor of FOG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Freezing of gait (FOG), a common and disabling symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), is characterized by an episodic inability to generate effective stepping. Functional MRI (fMRI) has been used to evaluate abnormal brain connectivity patterns at rest and brain activation patterns during specific tasks in patients with PD-FOG. This review has examined the existing functional neuroimaging literature in PD-FOG, including those with treatment. Summarizing these articles provides an opportunity for a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology in PD-FOG. METHODS According to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we performed a literature review of studies using fMRI to investigate the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of PD-FOG. RESULTS We initially identified 201 documents. After excluding the duplicates, reviews, and other irrelevant articles, 39 articles were finally identified, including 18 task-based fMRI studies and 21 resting-state fMRI studies. CONCLUSIONS Studies using fMRI techniques to evaluate PD-FOG have found dysfunctional connectivity in widespread cortical and subcortical regions. Standardized imaging protocols and detailed subtypes of PD-FOG are furthered required to elucidate current findings.
