Abstract

Patients with fibromyalgia syndrome tend to report deficits in cognitive functions; however, there is no clear consensus on which cognitive domains are impaired. The aim of this study was to compare the differences in cognitive performance between a group of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome and a group of pain-free subjects controlling for the covariables anxiety, depression, and sleep quality. In total, 130 patients with fibromyalgia syndrome and 111 pain-free subjects with an average age of 54.96 years completed the evaluation protocol consisting of sociodemographic data, psychological data, and neurocognitive tests. All data were collected from May 2022 to May 2023. Multivariate analyses of covariance (MANCOVAs) were conducted to assess intergroup differences in all neurocognitive tests. MANCOVA analyses showed that the group of patients with fibromyalgia showed a worse cognitive performance than the group of pain-free subjects after controlling for anxiety, depression, and sleep quality. This study found that fibromyalgia patients exhibited worse cognitive performance and executive function than pain-free subjects. Thus, cognitive performance seems to not be related with anxiety, depression, or sleep quality in our sample of women with FMS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Introduction: The European Higher Education Area brought new challenges to teaching methodology. Gamification and the use of games are considered beneficial to promote learning and improve academic results (Bermejo, Rodríguez & García, 2019; López Raventós, 2016; Rodríguez & Santiago, 2015). However, there is a lack of studies, particularly in degrees of health area (Da Silva, Faro, Alves & Morais, 2017, 2019; Perrier Melo, R. J., Brito Gomes, J., Melo de Oliveira, S. F. & da Cunha Costa, 2016). Objectives: to evaluate the effect of an escape room experience as a learning method in Occupational therapy Bachelor’s degree students. Method: a pilot study was performed. The escape room based on a clinical method was developed to work in the classroom. 50 participants were given 10 minutes to solve puzzles and riddles. A Google Form design questionnaire evaluated the level of participant’s satisfaction. Kahoot! formative tool was used to provide instant feedback and as part of the game-based learning design. Results: 62.5% of participants considered a very good idea the use of an escape room as a learning method while 55% thought it was also very helpful to integrate concepts. 65% felt it was a very good method to enhance participation in the classroom. And 97.5% of students would like to repeat the experience to reinforce knowledge. An improvement of 0.66 points was found in the students marks with regard to previous academic year with no gamification experience. Conclusion: The experience of an escape room applied to a teaching-learning process is more motivating and might help consolidate knowledge.

Abstract

Neurorehabilitation is a fundamental aspect in the treatment approach for multiple sclerosis (MS), in which new technologies have gained popularity, especially the use of virtual reality (VR). The aim of this paper is to analyze an occupational therapy (OT) intervention compared with OT + VR (OT + VR) on the manual dexterity of patients with MS. 26 MS subjects were initially recruited from an MS patient association and randomized into two groups. The OT group received 20 conventional OT sessions distributed in two sessions per week. The OT + VR group received 20 sessions of VR interventions, twice weekly and lasting 30 minutes, consisting of VR games accessed via the online web page motiongamingconsole.com, in addition to the conventional OT sessions. Pre- and postintervention assessments were based on the Purdue Pegboard Test, the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test, and the Grooved Pegboard Test. Clinical improvements were found regarding the precision of movements, the execution times, and the efficiency of certain functional tasks in the Purdue Pegboard Test and Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test tests in the OT + VR group. Although significant differences were not found in the manual dexterity between the OT and OT + VR groups, improvements were found regarding the precision and effectiveness of certain functional tasks.
