Journal ArticleDOI
Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter Ultrasound Evaluation in Intensive Care Unit: Possible Role and Clinical Aspects in Neurological Critical Patients’ Daily Monitoring
Massimiliano Toscano,G Spadetta,Patrizia Pulitano,Monica Rocco,V. Di Piero,Oriano Mecarelli,Edoardo Vicenzini +6 more
TL;DR: Routine ONSD daily monitoring could be of help in Intensive Care Units when invasive intracranial pressure monitoring is not available, to early recognize intrac Cranial hypertension and to suspect BD in neurocritical patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of migraine characteristics in joint hypermobility syndrome a.k.a. Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type
Francesca Puledda,Alessandro Viganò,Claudia Celletti,Barbara Petolicchio,Massimiliano Toscano,Edoardo Vicenzini,Marco Castori,Guido Laudani,Donatella Valente,Filippo Camerota,Vittorio Di Piero +10 more
TL;DR: Jointhypermobility syndrome and Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type patients have a more severe headache syndrome with respect to the MO group, therefore demonstrating that migraine has a very high impact on quality of life in this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroanatomical, Clinical and Cognitive Correlates of Post-Stroke Dysphagia
Massimiliano Toscano,Emanuela Cecconi,E. Capiluppi,Alessandro Viganò,Pierluigi Bertora,Laura Campiglio,Claudio Mariani,Barbara Petolicchio,Tullia Sasso d'Elia,Angela Verzina,Edoardo Vicenzini,Marco Fiorelli,Giuliana Cislaghi,Vittorio Di Piero +13 more
TL;DR: Stroke severity is an important predictor of a persistent pattern of dysphagia, with a suggested NIHSS cutoff value of ≥12.5 being the best predictive value of persistent dysphAGia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurophysiological correlates of clinical improvement after greater occipital nerve (GON) block in chronic migraine: relevance for chronic migraine pathophysiology
Alessandro Viganò,Maria Claudia Torrieri,Massimiliano Toscano,Francesca Puledda,Barbara Petolicchio,Tullia Sasso d'Elia,Angela Verzina,Sonia Ruggiero,Marta Altieri,Edoardo Vicenzini,Jean Schoenen,Vittorio Di Piero +11 more
TL;DR: GON-B may be effective in the treatment of CM, with or without MOH, and the pre-treatment IDAP increase is compatible with a weak central serotonergic tone, which is strengthened after Gon-B, suggesting thatSerotonergic mechanisms may play a role in CM and its reversion to episodic migraine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treating Chronic Migraine With Neuromodulation: The Role of Neurophysiological Abnormalities and Maladaptive Plasticity.
TL;DR: The definition and mechanisms of brain plasticity, some neurophysiological hallmarks of migraine, and migraine chronification-related (dys)plasticity are reviewed and available results from therapeutic and physiological studies using neuromodulation in CM are reviewed.
