The patients were assigned to 3 groups using the Weishaupt facet grading system (WFGS). Pain scores were assessed prior to treatment, as well as at the 1-, 6-, and 12-month marks.Results: Based on the WFGS, 38 of the 91 patients were assigned a grade 1 FJO, 28 a grade 2 FJO, and 25 a grade 3 FJO. The percentage of patients in each group who saw a 50% or greater improvement in their pain scores at 1, 6, and 12 months did not differ significantly.Conclusion: For patients with CLBP, FMB-RFT has been shown to be safe and effective in both the short and long terms.

We formulated these guidelines to offer evidence-based recommendations to improve the knowledge of physicians, healthcare professionals, and policymakers in migraine headache management.Method: A panel of 11 experts from different sectors in Saudi Arabia approved 26 questions on abortive and preventive therapies for migraines. To develop each question, we searched \"PubMed\" and \"Cochrane Library\" databases for recent relevant systematic reviews published between 2013 and 2024. We employed the Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation methodological approach to ensure the certainty of the collated evidence and to formulate the recommendations. The expert panel voted electronically on each recommendation, and a consensus was defined as >70% agreement.Results: We formulated a total of 26 recommendations. Of these, 14 are focused on abortive therapy for acute migraine attacks, whereas 12 are focused on the prevention of episodic or chronic migraines. These guidelines strongly recommend the use of paracetamol and ibuprofen as the first-line treatment for mild to moderate migraine. Furthermore, we concluded that propranolol should be considered as the first-line preventive intervention for migraine.Conclusion: The Saudi clinical practice guidelines offer systematically validated recommendations of migraine headaches in adults. The recommendations are potentially beneficial for all healthcare professionals managing patients with migraine headaches.","PeriodicalId":19284,"journal":{"name":"Neurosciences","volume":"30 2","pages":"77-91"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11977586/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143812000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study included 21,105 adolescents aged 11-18 years. Multiple logistic regression models were used to examine the association in each country. A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted to synthesize results across countries.Results: Overall, 17.9% of adolescents reported sleep deprivation. The pooled adjusted odds ratio for the association between cigarette smoking and sleep deprivation was 1.75 (95% CI: 1.56-1.96), indicating that adolescents who smoked cigarettes had 75% higher odds of experiencing sleep deprivation compared to non-smokers. This association was consistent across all 5 GCC countries, with low heterogeneity (I² = 18.1%).Conclusion: This study provides evidence of a significant positive association between sleep deprivation and cigarette smoking among adolescents in GCC countries. These findings emphasize the need for comprehensive public health interventions promoting both smoking prevention and sleep health among adolescents in the region.","PeriodicalId":19284,"journal":{"name":"Neurosciences","volume":"30 2","pages":"117-123"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11977593/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143812005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants included patients over 18 years, of any gender, diagnosed with MS. A nonprobability convenience sampling technique was used, with questionnaires sent through MS organizations and channels.Results: Almost two-thirds (66-68%) of the 375 respondents reported that their LTP had never been discussed during neurologist appointments and expressed uncertainty about it. Additionally, 23.5% noted discrepancies in information provided by different neurologists. Most (81.6%) expressed a desire for a prognostic tool at diagnosis. In this study, MS patients' desire to learn about a tool for assessing long-term prognosis was significantly associated with age, education level (p<0.001), and gender (p=0.02). A higher percentage of women (65.7%) showed interest in learning about the tool compared to men (34.3%).Conclusion: While more than half of pwMS are curious about their prognosis, only about one-third have optimal discussions about LTP with neurologists. Many desire information on prognostic tools. Further research is needed to assess patients' knowledge of their prognosis and improve communication with physicians.","PeriodicalId":19284,"journal":{"name":"Neurosciences","volume":"30 2","pages":"108-116"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11977590/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143811857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
