Scientific Session-Session Recording

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video featured a series of presentations on various medical research topics. Firstly, Alexios Karanopoulos, the chair of the Evidence Committee, introduced the session, highlighting an intent to expand scientific research within the Academy while acknowledging a significant number of submissions received. <br /><br />Dr. Carmen Sertia discussed motor recovery post-stroke, focusing on the imbalance between brain excitation and inhibition, highlighting the importance of understanding this for improved clinical outcomes. <br /><br />Dr. Preetha Dalal presented on an interdisciplinary inpatient program for pediatric chronic pain management, noting significant post-intervention improvements in pain and functional outcomes. <br /><br />Dr. James Eckner shared findings from the University of Michigan's study on the cognitive and mood impacts of concussion and collision sport history, revealing small but significant long-term effects associated with concussions and collision sports.<br /><br />Abigail Joy Garcia presented a cross-sectional analysis of long COVID treatment programs at top rehabilitation hospitals, highlighting a gap in care and the need for physiatry-led initiatives. <br /><br />Dr. David Lee discussed the ReActiv8-B clinical trial offering positive five-year data on restorative neurostimulation for chronic back pain. <br /><br />Hirotaka Nakagawa reviewed randomized controlled trials on PRP for knee osteoarthritis, finding poor compliance with MiBio guidelines, which hampers reproducibility and interpretation of study outcomes. <br /><br />Finally, Serena Shane shared her research using functional near-infrared spectroscopy to examine postural control in Parkinson's disease patients, indicating direction-specific neural control discrepancies. The session concluded with an invitation for questions and a reminder of the continual advocacy and research efforts needed in the field.
