Neurodegenerative Disease and Association Football (NDAF): Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
There is increasing concern that head injuries in Association Football (or soccer) may lead to adverse health outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine whether head impacts or injuries are associated with an increased risk of neurodegenerative disease. We performed a systematic search using PubMed, Embase, and Ovid (up to April 2025). Studies […]
Longitudinal analysis of pain-induced brain activations in post-traumatic headache
BackgroundHeadache is a common symptom following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Post-traumatic headache (PTH), a secondary headache disorder that develops after mTBI, often persists for months or years. To identify potential recovery mechanisms and prognostic biomarkers, the present study investigated whether longitudinal changes in pain-induced brain activation differ between healthy controls (HC) and PTH participants […]
Visual Dysfunctions in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Focus on Accommodative System Impairments
Background: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a prevalent neurological condition that results in various physical, emotional, and cognitive impairments. The most common are visual impairments, which affect vision's perceptual, motor, and sensory aspects. Objective: This paper analyzes the pathophysiology of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and its effects on visual and oculomotor functions, focusing […]
Effectiveness of Psychotherapy for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Subjects Suffering from Traumatic Brain Injuries After Motor Vehicle Accidents
Background and Objectives: PTSD and traumatic brain injury (TBI) frequently co-occur in survivors of combat exposure, blasts, assaults, or motor vehicle accidents (MVAs), yet the impact of TBI on the psychotherapy outcomes for PTSD, especially in civilians, remains underexplored and frequently underestimated. Methods: This study focused on analysis of the effectiveness of psychotherapies (trauma-focused: prolonged […]
Prognostic Value of Blood-Based Protein Biomarkers in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Living Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Circulating biomarkers might improve the prediction of outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) beyond current approaches. Robust and up-to-date evidence is required to support their clinical utility and integration into medical practice to guide decision-making. Our objective was to critically appraise the existing evidence for six core blood-based TBI biomarkers (S100 calcium-binding protein […]
