Neurological Conditions

There are several hundred neurological conditions, some more commonly occurring than others. NHS England categorizes them into sudden-onset conditions resulting from an acquired or traumatic brain or spinal cord injury; progressive deteriorating conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and motor neurone disease; and other conditions that might have a more fluctuating pathway such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, or multiple sclerosis. Most of these conditions result in varying degrees of disability that demand considerable personal and NHS resources to improve independence and the quality of life for these people.

The Impact

ABSTRACT The use of tizanidine is well established in spasticity due to multiple sclerosis (MS), spinal cord injury, and cerebrovascular disease. Refinement of the use oftizanidine in these areas is ongoing. To date, most large studies have focused primarily on measurement of changes in abnormalities of tone and spasm frequency rather than changes related to improved function. More detailed studies may help to better elucidate the impact of tizanidine and other spasticity treatments on activities of daily living and overall quality of life of MS patients.

Abstract Study design Multicenter observational study. Objective To describe the long-term outcome of functional independence and quality of life (QoL) for individuals with traumatic and ischemic SCI beyond the first year after injury. Setting A multicenter study in Germany. Methods Participants of the European multicenter study about spinal cord injury (EMSCI) of three German SCI centers were included and followed over time by the German spinal cord injury cohort study (GerSCI). Individuals’ most recent spinal cord independence measure (SCIM) scores assessed by a clinician were followed up by a self-report (SCIM-SR) and correlated to selected items of the WHO short survey of quality of life (WHO-QoL-BREF). Results Data for 359 individuals were obtained. The average time passed the last clinical SCIM examination was 81.47 (SD 51.70) months. In total, 187 of the 359 received questionnaires contained a completely evaluable SCIM-SR. SCIM scores remained stable with the exception of reported management of bladder and bowel resulting in a slight decrease of SCIM-SR of −2.45 points (SD 16.81). SCIM-SR scores showed a significant correlation with the selected items of the WHO-QoL-BREF (p < 0.01) with moderate to strong influence. Conclusion SCIM score stability over time suggests a successful transfer of acquired independence skills obtained during primary rehabilitation into the community setting paralleled by positively related QoL measurements but bladder and bowel management may need special attention.
