    Electroencephalography as a Biomarker for Functional Recovery in Spinal Cord Injury Patients
    (2021) SIMIS, Marcel; CAMSARI, Deniz Doruk; IMAMURA, Marta; FILIPPO, Thais Raquel Martins; SOUZA, Daniel Rubio De; BATTISTELLA, Linamara Rizzo; FREGNI, Felipe
    Background Functional changes after spinal cord injury (SCI) are related to changes in cortical plasticity. These changes can be measured with electroencephalography (EEG) and has potential to be used as a clinical biomarker. Method In this longitudinal study participants underwent a total of 30 sessions of robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) over a course of 6 weeks. The duration of each session was 30 min. Resting state EEG was recorded before and after 30-session rehabilitation therapy. To measure gait, we used the Walking Index for Spinal Cord Injury Scale, 10-Meter- Walking Test, Timed-Up-and-Go, and 6-Min-Walking Test. Balance was measured using Berg Balance Scale. Results Fifteen participants with incomplete SCI who had AIS C or D injuries based on American Spinal Cord Injury Association Impairment Scale classification were included in this study. Mean age was 35.7 years (range 17-51) and the mean time since injury was 17.08 (range 4-37) months. All participants showed clinical improvement with the rehabilitation program. EEG data revealed that high beta EEG activity in the central area had a negative correlation with gait (p = 0.049; beta coefficient: -0.351; and adj-R-2: 0.23) and balance (p = 0.043; beta coefficient: -0.158; and adj-R-2:0.24) measured at baseline, in a way that greater high beta EEG power was related to worse clinical function at baseline. Moreover, improvement in gait and balance had negative correlations with the change in alpha/theta ratio in the parietal area (Gait: p = 0.049; beta coefficient: -0.351; adj-R-2: 0.23; Balance: p = 0.043; beta coefficient: -0.158; and adj-R-2: 0.24). Conclusion In SCI, functional impairment and subsequent improvement following rehabilitation therapy with RAGT correlated with the change in cortical activity measured by EEG. Our results suggest that EEG alpha/theta ratio may be a potential surrogate marker of functional improvement during rehabilitation. Future studies are necessary to improve and validate these findings as a neurophysiological biomarker for SCI rehabilitation.

    Contemporary Trends in the Epidemiology of Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: Changes in Age and Etiology
    (2015) BELLUCCI, Carlos Henrique Suzuki; CASTRO FILHO, Jose Everton de; GOMES, Cristiano Mendes; BESSA JR., Jose de; BATTISTELLA, Linamara Rizzo; SOUZA, Daniel Rubio de; SCAZUFCA, Marcia; BRUSCHINI, Homero; SROUGI, Miguel; BARROS FILHO, Tarcisio E. P.
    Background: Epidemiological features of spinal cord injury (SCI) have been changing over the last decades. We evaluated the contemporary trends in the epidemiology of traumatic SCI patients from a rehabilitation center. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, a consecutive series of 348 patients with traumatic SCI were evaluated. Variables were collected through an epidemiological form, which included gender, age at injury, duration and cause of SCI. We investigated SCI epidemiological trends over time including the association between gender and age at injury with SCI features such as etiology, injury severity and level. Results: The mean age at SCI has increased from 26.0 +/- 11.8 in patients with SCI before 2003 to 37.9 +/- 15.7 in those with SCI after 2009 (p < 0.001). Gunshot wounds were the main cause of injury in patients with SCI before 2003, dropping from 40.6 to 16.9% after 2009 and being surpassed by road traffic injuries (38.6%) and falls (31.4%) after 2009 (p < 0.001). Gender, SCI severity and level have not changed significantly over the time. Conclusions: There was a major increase in the average age of patients as well as changes in the etiology of SCI over the past fifteen years, including a significant decrease in gunshot wounds and an increase in the frequency of road traffic injuries and falls. These changes and accompanying risk factors must be taken into consideration when planning measures to prevent SCI. (C) 2015 S. Karger AG, Basel

    Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the neurogenic bladder symptom score questionnaire for brazilian portuguese
    (2019) CINTRA, Lisley Keller Liidtke; BESSA JUNIOR, Jose de; KAWAHARA, Victor Ikky; FERREIRA, Thereza Phitoe Abe; SROUGI, Miguel; BATTISTELLA, Linamara Rizzo; SOUZA, Daniel Rubio de; BRUSCHINI, Homero; GOMES, Cristiano Mendes
    Objective: To cross-culturally adapt and check for the reliability and validity of the neurogenic bladder symptom score questionnaire to Brazilian portuguese, in patients with spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis. Materials and Methods: The questionnaire was culturally adapted according to international guidelines. The Brazilian version was applied in patients diagnosed with neurogenic bladder due to spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis, twice in a range of 7 to 14 days. Psychometric properties were tested such as content validity, construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. Results: Sixty-eight patients participated in the study. Good internal consistency of the Portuguese version was observed, with Cronbach alpha of 0.81. The test-retest reliability was also high, with an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient of 0.86 [0.76 - 0.92] (p<0.0001). In the construct validity, the Pearson Correlation revealed a moderate correlation between the Portuguese version of the NBSS and the Qualiveen-SF questionnaire (r = 0.66 [0.40-0.82]; p < 0.0001). Conclusions: The process of cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the NBSS questionnaire for the Brazilian Portuguese in patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction was concluded.

    Evaluation of Sexual Dysfunction in Men With Spinal Cord Injury Using the Male Sexual Quotient
    (2016) MIRANDA, Eduardo P.; GOMES, Cristiano Mendes; BESSA JR., Jose de; ABDO, Carmita Helena Najjar; BELLUCCI, Carlos Henrique Suzuki; CASTRO FILHO, Jose Everton de; CARVALHO, Fabricio Leite de; SOUZA, Daniel Rubio de; BATTISTELLA, Linamara Rizzo; SCAZUFCA, Marcia; BRUSCHINI, Homero; BARROS FILHO, Tarcisio; SROUGI, Miguel.
    Objective: To assess different aspects of sexual function in men with spinal cord injury (SCI) using the Male Sexual Quotient (MSQ), a newly developed tool to assess sexual function and satisfaction. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Tertiary rehabilitation center. Participants: Patients (N=295) older than 18 years (mean age +/- SD, 40.7 +/- 14.5y) with SCI for more than 1 year (median time since SCI, 3.6y; range, 1.6-7.0y) were assessed from February to August 2012. Patients completed the MSQ questionnaire and the Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM). Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Performance in various domains of sexual function was evaluated using the MSQ and SHIM questionnaires. Results: Erectile function, ejaculation, and orgasm were the most severely affected domains. The median MSQ score was 40 (range, 8-66), and the median SHIM score was 5 (range, 0-16). The diagnostic properties of the 2 instruments were similar in the discrimination of sexually active subjects. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was .950 (95% confidence interval [CI], .923.979) for the MSQ and .942 (95% CI, .915.968) for the SHIM. There was a strong correlation between the 2 instruments (r=.826; 95% CI, .802.878). Conclusions: Different domains of sexual function are severely impaired in men with SCI, although their sexual interest remains high. The MSQ and SHIM scores strongly correlate, but the MSQ provides a more comprehensive assessment of sexual dysfunction in male patients with SCI.
