Subjects: Medicine
Abstract: Introduction Millions of people survive injuries to the central or peripheral nervous system for which neurorehabilitation is required. In addition to the physical and cognitive impairments, many neurorehabilitation patients experience pain, often not widely recognised and inadequately treated. This is particularly true for multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, for whom pain is one of the most common symptoms. In clinical practice, pain assessment is usually conducted based on a subjective estimate. This approach can lead to inaccurate evaluations due to the influence of numerous factors, including emotional or cognitive aspects. To date, no objective and simple to use clinical methods allow objective quantification of pain and the diagnostic differentiation between the two main types of pain (nociceptive vs neuropathic). Wearable technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to bridge this gap by continuously monitoring patients’ health parameters and extracting meaningful information from them. Therefore, we propose to develop a new automatic AI-powered tool to assess pain and its characteristics during neurorehabilitation treatments using physiological signals collected by wearable sensors.Methods and analysis We aim to recruit 15 participants suffering from MS undergoing physiotherapy treatment. During the study, participants will wear a wristband for three consecutive days and be monitored before and after their physiotherapy sessions. Measurement of traditionally used pain assessment questionnaires and scales (ie, painDETECT, Doleur Neuropathique 4 Questions, EuroQoL-5-dimension-3-level) and physiological signals (photoplethysmography, electrodermal activity, skin temperature, accelerometer data) will be collected. Relevant parameters from physiological signals will be identified, and AI algorithms will be used to develop automatic classification methods.Ethics and dissemination The study has been approved by the local Ethical Committee (285-2022-SPER-AUSLBO). Participants are required to provide written informed consent. The results will be disseminated through contributions to international conferences and scientific journals, and they will also be included in a doctoral dissertation.Trial registration number NCT05747040.

Abstract: BackgroundBalance impairments are common in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), with reduced ability to maintain position and delayed responses to postural adjustments. Pilates is a popular alternative method for balance training that may reduce the rapid worsening of symptoms and the increased risk of secondary conditions (eg, depression) that are frequently associated with physical inactivity. ObjectiveIn this paper, we aimed to describe the design, development, and usability testing of MS Fitness Intervention Training (MS-FIT), a Kinect-based tool implementing Pilates exercises customized for MS. MethodsMS-FIT has been developed using a user-centered design approach (design, prototype, user feedback, and analysis) to gain the target user’s perspective. A team composed of 1 physical therapist, 2 game programmers, and 1 game designer developed the first version of MS-FIT that integrated the knowledge and experience of the team with MS literature findings related to Pilates exercises and balance interventions based on exergames. MS-FIT, developed by using the Unity 3D (Unity Technologies) game engine software with Kinect Sensor V2 for Windows, implements exercises for breathing, posture, and balance. Feedback from an Italian panel of experts in MS rehabilitation (neurologists, physiatrists, physical therapists, 1 statistician, and 1 bioengineer) and people with MS was collected to customize the tool for use in MS. The context of MS-FIT is traveling around the world to visit some of the most important cities to learn the aspects of their culture through pictures and stories. At each stay of the travel, the avatar of a Pilates teacher shows the user the exercises to be performed. Overall, 9 people with MS (n=4, 44% women; mean age 42.89, SD 11.97 years; mean disease duration 10.19, SD 9.18 years; Expanded Disability Status Scale score 3.17, SD 0.75) were involved in 3 outpatient user test sessions of 30 minutes; MS-FIT’s usability was assessed through an ad hoc questionnaire (maximum value=5; higher the score, higher the usability) evaluating easiness to use, playability, enjoyment, satisfaction, and acceptance. ResultsA user-centered design approach was used to develop an accessible and challenging tool for balance training. All people with MS (9/9, 100%) completed the user test sessions and answered the ad hoc questionnaire. The average score on each item ranged from 3.78 (SD 0.67) to 4.33 (SD 1.00), which indicated a high usability level. The feedback and suggestions provided by 64% (9/14) of people with MS and 36% (5/14) of therapists involved in the user test were implemented to refine the first prototype to release MS-FIT 2.0. ConclusionsThe participants reported that MS-FIT was a usable tool. It is a promising system for enhancing the motivation and engagement of people with MS in performing exercise with the aim of improving their physical status.

Abstract: BackgroundThe Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is one of the most used tools to quantify balance in Persons with Multiple Sclerosis, a population at high risk of falling.AimTo evaluate the measurement characteristics of the BBS in Multiple Sclerosis through Rasch analysis.DesignRetrospective study.SettingOutpatients in three Italian Rehabilitation centers.PopulationEight hundred and fourteen persons with Multiple Sclerosis able to stand independently for more than 3 s.MethodsThe sample (N = 1,220) was split into one validating (B1) and three confirmatory subsamples. Following the Rasch analysis performed on B1, the item estimates were exported and anchored to the three confirmatory subsamples. After obtaining the same final solution across all samples, we studied the convergent and discriminant validity of the final BBS-MS using the EDSS, the ABC scale, and the number of falls.ResultsThe base analysis on the B1 subsample failed the monotonicity, local independence, and unidimensionality requirements and did not fit the Rasch model. After grouping locally dependent items, the BBS-MS fitted the model (χ28 = 23.8; p = 0.003) and satisfied all requirements for adequate internal construct validity (ICV). However, it was mistargeted to the sample, given the striking prevalence of higher scores (targeting index 1.922) with a distribution-independent Person Separation Index sufficient for individual measurements (0.962). The B1 item estimates were anchored to the confirmatory samples with confirmation of adequate fit (χ2 = [19.0, 22.8], value of ps = [0.015, 0.004]) and satisfaction of all ICV requirements for all subsamples. The final BBS-MS directly correlated with the ABC scale (rho = 0.523) and inversely with EDSS (rho = −0.573). The BBS-MS estimates significantly differed across groups according to the pre-specified hypotheses (between the three EDSS groups, between the ABC cut-offs, distinguishing ‘fallers’ vs. ‘non-fallers’, and between the ‘low’ vs. ‘moderate’ vs. ‘high’ levels of physical functioning; and, finally, between ‘no falls’ vs. ‘one or more falls’).ConclusionThis study supports the internal construct validity and reliability of the BBS-MS in an Italian multicentre sample of persons with Multiple Sclerosis. However, as the scale is slightly mistargeted to the sample, it represents a candidate tool to assess balance, mainly in more disabled people with an advanced walking disability.

4. Cannabis-Based Products in a Neurological Setting: A Clinical and Pharmacokinetic Survey

Author: Susan Mohamed, Giovanna Lopane, Loredana Sabattini, Cinzia Scandellari, Diletta Zardi, Vincenzo Donadio, Giovanni Rizzo, Alessandro Perrone, Alessandra Lugaresi, and Manuela Contin
Subjects: cannabidiol, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabis oil, cannabis oromucosal spray, neurology, pharmacokinetics, Neurology. Diseases of the nervous system, RC346-429
Abstract: Background and AimLimited data are available in clinical settings on the pharmacokinetics of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). We investigated the use of cannabis-based products in neurological practice, monitoring patients' steady-state cannabinoids (CBs) plasma concentrations matched with different preparations.MethodsThis was a prospective, single-center, observational study. Patients underwent venous blood withdrawal before the CBs' morning dose and then 2.5 h post-dosing. Spasticity or pain were patient self-assessed by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before the morning CB's administration and 2.5 h post-dosing.ResultsThirty-three patients were enrolled. Main indications for CBs were spasticity and chronic pain. Sixteen patients were treated with oromucosal spray formulation Sativex® and 17 with oil-based solutions. Both CBs trough plasma concentrations were ≤ limit of detection (0.1 ng/ml) in 45% of patients. Intrasubject CB's plasma levels significantly increased over baseline values in patients treated with Bediol® oil (p < 0.05) and Sativex® (p < 0.01). Post-dosing CB's bioavailability did not significantly differ between oral oil and oromucosal spray. NRS scores decreased (p < 0.01), matching the increase (p < 0.01) in CB's plasma concentrations.ConclusionThis is the first study investigating CB's plasma concentrations of oral and oromucosal preparations in real-world neurological practice. Findings of similar bioavailability for both CBD and THC after galenic oil compared with oromucosal spray dosing may be clinically relevant and deserve additional research in larger cohorts.

Subjects: multiple sclerosis, conversion, secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, online survey, patient needs, patient-physician communication, Neurology. Diseases of the nervous system, RC346-429
Abstract: Background: Few studies have investigated the experiences of patients around the conversion to secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS). ManTra is a mixed-method, co-production research project conducted in Italy and Germany to develop an intervention for newly-diagnosed SPMS patients. In previous project actions, we identified the needs and experiences of patients converting to SPMS via literature review and qualitative research which involved key stakeholders.Aims: The online patient survey aimed to assess, on a larger and independent sample of recently-diagnosed SPMS patients: (a) the characteristics associated to patient awareness of SPMS conversion; (b) the experience of conversion; (c) importance and prioritization of the needs previously identified.Methods: Participants were consenting adults with SPMS since ≤5 years. The survey consisted of three sections: on general and clinical characteristics; on experience of SPMS diagnosis disclosure (aware participants only); and on importance and prioritization of 33 pre-specified needs.Results: Of 215 participants, those aware of their SPMS diagnosis were 57% in Italy vs. 77% in Germany (p = 0.004). In both countries, over 80% of aware participants received a SPMS diagnosis from the neurologist; satisfaction with SPMS disclosure was moderate to high. Nevertheless, 28–35% obtained second opinions, and 48–56% reported they did not receive any information on SPMS. Participants actively seeking further information were 63% in Germany vs. 31% in Italy (p < 0.001).Variables independently associated to patient awareness were geographic area (odds ratio, OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.13–0.78 for Central Italy; OR 0.21, 95% CI 0.08–0.58 for Southern Italy [vs. Germany]) and activity limitations (OR 7.80, 95% CI 1.47–41.37 for dependent vs. autonomous patients).All pre-specified needs were scored a lot or extremely important, and two prioritized needs were shared by Italian and German patients: “physiotherapy” and “active patient care involvement.” The other two differed across countries: “an individualized health care plan” and “information on social rights and policies” in Italy, and “psychological support” and “cognitive rehabilitation” in Germany.Conclusions: Around 40% of SPMS patients were not aware of their disease form indicating a need to improve patient-physician communication. Physiotherapy and active patient care involvement were prioritized in both countries.

Abstract: Background and purpose Some studies have shown that air pollution, often assessed by thin particulate matter with diameter below 2.5 µg/m3 (PM2.5), may contribute to severe COVID‐19 courses, as well as play a role in the onset and evolution of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the impact of air pollution on COVID‐19 has never been explored specifically amongst patients with MS (PwMS). This retrospective observational study aims to explore associations between PM2.5 and COVID‐19 severity amongst PwMS. Methods Data were retrieved from an Italian web‐based platform (MuSC‐19) which includes PwMS with COVID‐19. PM2.5 2016–2018 average concentrations were provided by the Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service. Italian patients inserted in the platform from 15 January 2020 to 9 April 2021 with a COVID‐19 positive test were included. Ordered logistic regression models were used to study associations between PM2.5 and COVID‐19 severity. Results In all, 1087 patients, of whom 13% required hospitalization and 2% were admitted to an intensive care unit or died, were included. Based on the multivariate analysis, higher concentrations of PM2.5 increased the risk of worse COVID‐19 course (odds ratio 1.90; p = 0.009). Conclusions Even if several other factors explain the unfavourable course of COVID‐19 in PwMS, the role of air pollutants must be considered and further investigated., Air pollution, often assessed by particulate matter with diameter below 2.5 µg/m3, may contribute to severe COVID‐19 courses. 1087 patients were included, of whom 13% required hospitalization and 2% were admitted to an intensive care unit or died. Even if several other factors explain the unfavourable course of COVID‐19 in patients with multiple sclerosis, the role of air pollutants must be considered and further investigated.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Balance impairments are common in multiple sclerosis (MS) with reduced ability to maintain position and delayed responses to postural adjustments. Pilates is a popular alternative method for balance training that may reduce the rapid worsening of symptoms and the increased risk of secondary conditions (e.g. depression) frequently associated with physical inactivity. An Italian network of fifteen Centres specialized in MS rehabilitation developed the MS-FIT exergame to autonomously train balance through Pilates exercises. OBJECTIVE Here, we describe the design, development and usability testing of MS-FIT, a Kinect-based tool implementing Pilates exercises customized for MS. METHODS MS-FIT has been developed through a User-Centered Design approach (design, prototype, user feedback and analysis) allowing gaining the target user’s perspective. A team composed of one physical therapist, two game programmers and one game designer provided the first version of MS-FIT that integrated knowledge and experience of the team with MS literature findings related to Pilates exercises and balance interventions based on exergames. MS-FIT, developed by using the Unity 3D game engine software with Kinect Sensor V2 for Windows, implements exercises for breathing, posture and balance. Feedbacks from neurologists, physiatrists, physical therapists and people with MS (PwMS) were collected to customize the tool for a use in MS. The MS-FIT context is the travel around the world to visit some of the most important cities in order to learn aspects of their culture through pictures and stories. At each stay of the travel, the avatar of a teacher of Pilates shows the user the exercises to be performed. Nine PwMS (4 females; mean age: 42.89 ± 11.97 years; mean disease duration 10.19 ± 9.18 years; Expanded Disability Status Scale: 3.17 ± 0.75) were involved in three outpatient user-test sessions of 30 minutes; the MS-FIT usability was assessed through an ad-hoc questionnaire (maximum value = 5; higher the score, higher the usability) evaluating easiness-to-use, playability, enjoyment, satisfaction and acceptance. RESULTS All nine PwMS completed the sessions of user-test and answered the ad-hoc questionnaire. The average score on each item ranged from 3.78 and 4.11, which indicated a high usability level. The feedbacks and suggestions provided by the 9 PwMS and by the 5 therapists involved in the user-test were implemented to refine the first prototype in order to release the MS-FIT 2.0. CONCLUSIONS MS-FIT is a highly usable tool and is a promising system for enhancing motivation and engagement of PwMS in performing exercise with the aim to improve their physical status.

Abstract: Raw data pertaining to the article "Cannabis-based products in a neurological setting: a clinical and pharmacokinetic survey" Authors:Susan Mohamed, Giovanna Lopane, Loredana Sabattini, Cinzia Scandellari, Diletta Zardi, Vincenzo Donadio, Giovanni Rizzo, Alessandro Perrone, Alessandra Lugaresi, Manuela Contin Abstract Background and aim: Limited data are available in clinical settings on the pharmacokinetics of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). We investigated the use of cannabis-based products in neurological practice, monitoring patients’ steady-state cannabinoids plasma concentrations matched with different preparations. Methods: This was a prospective, single-center, observational study. Patients underwent venous blood withdrawal before the cannabinoids’ morning dose, and then 2.5 hours post dosing. Spasticity or pain were patient self-assessed by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before the morning cannabinoids administration and 2.5 hours post dosing. Results: Thirty-three patients were enrolled. Main indications for cannabinoids were spasticity and chronic pain. Sixteen patients were treated with oromucosal spray formulation and 17 with oil-based solutions. Both cannabinoids’ trough plasma concentrations were ≤ limit of detection (0.1 ng/ml) in 45% of patients. Intrasubject cannabinoids’ plasma levels significantly increased over baseline values in patients treated with Bediol® oil (p Conclusion: This is the first study investigating cannabinoids plasma concentrations of oral and oromucosal preparations in real-world neurological practice. Findings of similar bioavailability for both CBD and THC after galenic oil compared with oromucosal spray dosing may be clinically relevant and deserve additional research in larger cohorts. &nbsp

Abstract: Background: The MuSC-19 project is an Italian cohort study open to international partners that collects data on multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with COVID-19. During the second wave of the pandemic, serological tests became routinely available. Objective: To evaluate the seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies according to the use of disease-modifying therapy (DMT) in a subset of patients included in the MuSC-19 data set who had undergone a serological test. Methods: We evaluated the association between positive serological test results and time elapsed since infection onset, age, sex, Expanded Disability Status Scale score, comorbidities and DMT exposure using a multivariable logistic model. Results: Data were collected from 423 patients (345 from Italy, 61 from Turkey and 17 from Brazil) with a serological test performed during follow-up. Overall, 325 out of 423 tested patients (76.8%) had a positive serological test. At multivariate analysis, therapy with anti-CD20 was significantly associated with a reduced probability of developing antibodies after COVID-19 (odds ratio (OR) = 0.20, p = 0.002). Conclusion: Patients with MS maintain the capacity to develop humoral immune response against SARS-COV-2, although to a lesser extent when treated with anti-CD20 drugs. Overall, our results are reassuring with respect to the possibility to achieve sufficient immunization with vaccination.

Abstract: none 6 no Psoriasis and multiple sclerosis (MS) are both considered T cell-mediated diseases, with similarities in the pathophysiology.To our knowledge, only a case of severe disseminated psoriasis eruption has been described during natalizumab treatment [3]. We describe a patient affected by relapsing remitting (RR)MS with new-onset psoriatic arthritis during natalizumab treatment. In conclusion, taking into account the possible genetic susceptibility for cutaneous autoimmune diseases, we believe that it is important to investigate not only personal, but also family history for autoimmune comorbidities, to select the most suitable disease-modifying treatment for each MS patient. mixed Vacchiano, V.; Foschi, M.; Sabattini, L.; Scandellari, C.; Lugaresi, A.

Abstract: OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess the potential relationship between intrasubject 9-tetrahydrocannabinol/cannabidiol (THC/CBD) oromucosal spray plasma profiles and clinical effects elicited by subacute dosing in chronically treated patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). METHODS: The study design was pilot, single center, open, and prospective. The patients were challenged with a morning test dose of 2 THC/CBD sprays at a 15-minute interval. Venous blood samples were collected before the first spray administration and every 30 minutes after the second spray, until 240 minutes postdosing. Patients rated their spasticity by the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) simultaneously with blood drawings. Postural and motor tests were performed before the first spray and 90 and 180 minutes thereafter. RESULTS: Twelve patients were recruited. Peak plasma concentrations of THC/CBD largely varied among patients, from 0.60 to 13.29 ng/mL for THC and 0.55 to 11.93 ng/mL for CBD. Time to peak plasma concentrations ranged from 150 to 240 minutes for THC and 90 to 240 minutes for CBD. Patients' NRS serial scores decreased after dosing, from a median value of 6 to 3.5 (P < 0.001). A significant inverse correlation was observed between median intrasubject repeated NRS scores and corresponding median values of both THC (P < 0.01) and CBD (P < 0.002) plasma concentrations. No significant effect of cannabinoids dosing could be appreciated according to posturographic and motor tests. CONCLUSIONS: Our kinetic dynamic findings from THC/CBD oromucosal spray are the first obtained in real MS patients. Although preliminary, they suggest that subacute dosing might elicit a subjective clinically significant effect on MS-related spasticity, paralleling cannabinoids measurable plasma concentrations.

Abstract: Background and purpose: Clinical outcomes of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been thoroughly investigated, but a further analysis on main signs and symptoms and their risk factors still needs attention. The objective of this study was to group together and describe based on similarity the most common signs and symptoms of COVID-19 in MS patients and identify all factors associated with their manifestation. Method: Logistic and linear regression models were run to recognize factors associated with each pooled group of symptoms and their total number. Results: From March 2020 to November 2021, data were collected from 1354 MS patients with confirmed infection of COVID-19. Ageusia and anosmia was less frequent in older people (odds ratio [OR] 0.98; p=0.005) and more in smoker patients (OR 1.39; p=0.049). Smoke was also associated with an incremental number of symptoms (OR 1.24; p=0.031), substance abuse (drugs or alcohol), conjunctivitis and rash (OR 5.20; p=0.042) and the presence of at least one comorbidity with shortness of breath, tachycardia or chest pain (OR 1.24; p=0.008). Some disease-modifying therapies were associated with greater frequencies of certain COVID-19 symptoms (association between anti-CD20 therapies and increment in the number of concomitant symptoms: OR 1.29; p=0.05). Differences in frequencies between the three waves were found for flu-like symptoms (G1, p=0.024), joint or muscle pain (G2, p=0.013) and ageusia and anosmia (G5, p < 0.001). All cases should be referred to variants up to Delta. Conclusion: Several factors along with the choice of specific therapeutic approaches might have a different impact on the occurrence of some COVID-19 symptoms.
