RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Sexual dysfunction (SD) is common in multiple sclerosis (MS), however, under-reported. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify barriers faced by patients with MS and healthcare professionals (HCPs) in discussing SD. METHODS: This was a two-part prospective study carried out at a tertiary care centre. Patients with MS were surveyed using a 29-item questionnaire and SD was assessed using the MSISQ and ASEX questionnaires; depression screened with PHQ-2. HCPs were surveyed using a 23-item questionnaire. RESULTS: Seventy four patients (mean age 42.4 ± 10.7, 54 females) and 98 HCPs (mean age 45.8 ± 8.9, 90 females) participated. SD was significant, with primary (36.4%), secondary (27%) and tertiary (29.8%) contributory factors. Commonest barriers reported by patients were dominance of neurological symptoms (N = 30, 40.5%), presence of family or friends (N = 28, 37.8%), and not being asked (N = 25, 33.8%), while HCPs reported presence of family or friends (N = 34, 34.7%), lack of knowledge about SD (N = 30, 30.6%), and inadequate time during the consultation (N = 27, 27.6%). CONCLUSIONS: Barriers to discussing SD are similar between patients and HCPs. The most common barriers are addressable through modifications in the clinic environment, raising awareness and providing training opportunities.

RESUMO

The objective of the present paper was to develop a differential electromyographic biofeedback (EMG-BF) training for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) matching multiple neurofeedback training protocols in order to serve as a valid control training. This differential EMG-BF training method feeds back activity from arm muscles involved in fine motor skills such as writing and grip force control. Tonic EMG-BF training (activation and deactivation blocks, involving bimanual motor tasks) matches the training of EEG frequency bands, while phasic EMG-BF training (short activation and deactivation trials) was developed as an equivalent to the training of slow cortical potentials. A case description of a child who learned to improve motor regulation in most task conditions and showed a clinically relevant reduction of behavioral ADHD symptoms illustrates the training course and outcome. Differential EMG-BF training is feasible and provides well-matched control conditions for neurofeedback training in ADHD research. Future studies should investigate its value as a specific intervention for children diagnosed with ADHD and comorbid sensorimotor problems.
