Abstract
The objectives are to (a) introduce an approach to use the Neck Disability Index (NDI) in a way, which is different and more International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health-oriented than acommon practice - focusing on functional profile instead of composite score only, and (b) to describe the changes in functioning experienced by patients undergoing cervical surgery. This was a register-based study of almost 400 patients undergoing different cervical surgical procedures in a university hospital between 2018 and 2021. The patients responded to repeated surveys preoperatively and 3, 12 and 24 months postoperatively. Linear regression test was performed to analyze the change of the NDI score. The changes in scores during a follow-up were statistically significant ( P < 0.001) for all the NDI items as well as for the total score. Each item demonstrated significant improvement postoperatively and a slight worsening between 1 and 2 years after the surgery. The observed slight decline in functioning at the end of follow-up remained below the baseline level for all the items. While the change in the composite score of the NDI was able to describe the overall change in functioning after the surgery, different areas of functioning were affected by the surgery differently. The results suggest that the use of functional profiles, in addition to composite scores, is justified among patients with cervical pathologies.

Abstract
This study was aimed to determine the effectiveness of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)-based multidisciplinary rehabilitation approach with serial assessment and discussion with the ICF rehabilitation set. This prospective cohort study included consecutive patients admitted to the convalescent rehabilitation ward during the period between 1 August 2017 and 30 September 2018. Serial assessment and discussion with the ICF rehabilitation set every 2 weeks in each patient commenced from 1 April 2018. We analyzed the difference in the Extension Index of the ICF rehabilitation set between the periods before the assessment of the ICF rehabilitation set (prior period) and after that (post-period). The change of the Extension Index of the ICF rehabilitation set was higher in patients of the post-period group (n = 59) compared with those of the prior period group (n = 45) (mean 31.6, SD 18.5 vs. mean 17.3, SD 18.4, respectively; 95% confidence interval for the difference 7.0-21.5). Multiple regression analysis showed that serial assessment by the ICF rehabilitation set was independently associated with the improvement of the Extension Index. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation approach combined with serial assessment and discussion using the ICF rehabilitation set was associated with favorable recovery. Our study highlighted the effectiveness of ICF-based multidisciplinary rehabilitation in a clinical setting.

Abstract
The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Rehabilitation Set is proposed as a tool to measure functioning among a clinical population in Chinese rehabilitation services. It needs to be applied in a transparent and reliable way and considered from a measurement perspective. The aim of this study was to develop items operationalizing the ICF Rehabilitation Set to enhance the standardized and unified assessment in varied clinical settings. A list of proposed operational items was generated by (i) linking the items of four standard assessment instruments; (ii) literature review; and (iii) self-development. The candidate operational items were then evaluated by Chinese experts in rehabilitation medicine. One hundred and sixty-six operational items were generated using the three approaches and 54 were evaluated in the formal expert survey. Finally, 30 experts validated nine items from the assessment instruments, two found in the literature and 19 self-developed items for operationalizing the ICF Rehabilitation Set. The 30 operational items validated could potentially facilitate the implementation of the ICF Rehabilitation Set in clinical settings and provide a reference point for future research.

Abstract
Several international campaigns to increase awareness on the high burden of migraine stimulated population-based studies in the last few years that provided broader data on prevalence, correlates, and impact of migraine. The last version of the Global Burden of Disease 2010 posed migraine with a twofold increase with respect to the previous version as one of the first disabling diseases. Migraine, and in general headache disorders are among the top ten causes of disability because they are common and disabling: that is now clear. It is also clear that the descriptive epidemiology of migraine has reached its maturity. The prevalence rates and sociodemographic correlates have been stable across 50 years. Last but not least, despite international efforts an illness that can be relieved does not, and the heavy burden that it poses at individual and societal levels, persists when it could be mitigated. Describing and accounting the burden of migraine worldwide is not enough anymore, we need to change our paradigm again and move towards new pathways. The opportunity is provided by the biopsychosocial approach that enables to act on the environment once the most adequate medical therapy has been provided. To reduce the burden, international efforts should focus certainly on development of new drugs but mainly on improving health care systems' response to millions of migraine and headache sufferers.

Abstract
Clinicians need a comprehensive description of patients' functioning state to capture the complex interaction between symptoms and environmental factors, and to determine the actual level of functioning in patients in a vegetative state or a minimally conscious state. The aim of this study is to develop an International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) checklist for patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) so as to capture and describe, with a tailored list of categories, the most common health, disability, and functioning issues of adult patients with DOC. The WHO ICF checklist was used as a basis for collecting data. This was an observational, cross-sectional, multicenter study conducted in 69 Italian centers. Specific methodological procedures were used to identify the most appropriate categories for DOC patients to be added to or deleted from the ICF checklist so as to develop the ICF-DOC checklist. A total of 566 adult patients were enrolled: 398 in a vegetative state and 168 in a minimally conscious state. A total of 127 ICF categories reached the threshold of 20% concerning the presence of a problem: 37 categories from the body functions chapter, 13 from the body structures chapter, 46 from the activities and participations chapter, and 31 from the environmental factors chapter. ICF categories identified in this study can be useful guidelines for clinicians and researchers to collect data on functioning and disability of adult patients with DOC. The new ICF-DOC checklist allows monitoring of the effects of interventions on functional areas and possible changes in each patient in follow-up studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is emerging as an important element of clinical research in primary headache disorders, allowing a measure of the impact of headache on patients' well-being and daily life. A better understanding of this may contribute to improved resource allocations and treatment approaches. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to review available data on HRQoL in primary headache disorders and identify any influencing factors. METHODS Database searches including MEDLINE, PsycINFO and EMBASE were performed. Studies that investigated HRQoL in patients with primary headache disorders were included and reviewed. Trials that evaluated the efficacy of medications or interventions were excluded. RESULTS A total of 80 articles were included in the review. Both physical and emotional/mental aspects of HRQoL were impaired across headache subtypes, although the extent varied depending on headache type. A number of factors influencing HRQoL were also identified. CONCLUSION This narrative review suggests that headache, particularly in its chronic form, has a great impact on HRQoL. Clinical practice should not solely focus on pain alleviation but rather adopt routine assessment of HRQoL. Furthermore, identification and management of associated psychological comorbidities, which can significantly influence HRQoL in headache sufferers, are essential for optimal clinical management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a considerable amount of practice variation in managing migraines in emergency settings, and evidence-based therapies are often not used first line. METHODS A peer-reviewed search of databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL) was carried out to identify randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials of interventions for acute pain relief in adults presenting with migraine to emergency settings. Where possible, data were pooled into meta-analyses. RESULTS Two independent reviewers screened 831 titles and abstracts for eligibility. Three independent reviewers subsequently evaluated 120 full text articles for inclusion, of which 44 were included. Individual studies were then assigned a US Preventive Services Task Force quality rating. The GRADE scheme was used to assign a level of evidence and recommendation strength for each intervention. INTERPRETATION We strongly recommend the use of prochlorperazine based on a high level of evidence, lysine acetylsalicylic acid, metoclopramide and sumatriptan, based on a moderate level of evidence, and ketorolac, based on a low level of evidence. We weakly recommend the use of chlorpromazine based on a moderate level of evidence, and ergotamine, dihydroergotamine, lidocaine intranasal and meperidine, based on a low level of evidence. We found evidence to recommend strongly against the use of dexamethasone, based on a moderate level of evidence, and granisetron, haloperidol and trimethobenzamide based on a low level of evidence. Based on moderate-quality evidence, we recommend weakly against the use of acetaminophen and magnesium sulfate. Based on low-quality evidence, we recommend weakly against the use of diclofenac, droperidol, lidocaine intravenous, lysine clonixinate, morphine, propofol, sodium valproate and tramadol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with brain disorders - defined as both, mental disorders and neurological disorders experience a wide range of psychosocial difficulties (PSDs) (e.g., concentrating, maintaining energy levels, and maintaining relationships). Research evidence is required to show that these PSDs are common across brain disorders. OBJECTIVES To explore and gain deeper understanding of the experiences of people with seven brain disorders (alcohol dependency, depression, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, stroke). It examines the common PSDs and their influencing factors. METHODS Seventy seven qualitative studies identified in a systematic literature review and qualitative data derived from six focus groups are used to generate first-person narratives representing seven brain disorders. A theory-driven thematic analysis of these narratives identifies the PSDs and their influencing factors for comparison between the seven disorders. RESULTS First-person narratives illustrate realities for people with brain disorders facilitating a deeper understanding of their every-day life experiences. Thematic analysis serves to highlight the commonalities, both of PSDs, such as loneliness, anger, uncertainty about the future and problems with work activities, and their determinants, such as work opportunities, trusting relationships and access to self-help groups. CONCLUSIONS The strength of the methodology and the narratives is that they provide the opportunity for the reader to empathise with people with brain disorders and facilitate deeper levels of understanding of the complexity of the relationship of PSDs, determinants and facilitators. The latter reflect positive aspects of the lives of people with brain disorders. The result that many PSDs and their influencing factors are common to people with different brain disorders opens up the door to the possibility of using cross-cutting interventions involving different sectors. This strengthens the message that 'a great deal can be done' to improve the lived experience of persons with brain disorders when medical interventions are exhausted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study identifies a set of psychosocial difficulties that are associated with short term changes in health outcomes across a heterogeneous set of brain disorders, neurological and psychiatric. METHODS Longitudinal observational study over approximately 12 weeks with three time points of assessment and 741 patients with bipolar disorders, depression, migraine, multiple sclerosis, parkinson's disease, stroke and traumatic brain injury. The data on disability was collected with the checklist of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. The selected health outcomes were the Short Form 36 and the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule. Multilevel models for change were applied controlling for age, gender and disease severity. RESULTS The psychosocial difficulties that explain the variability and change over time of the selected health outcomes were energy and drive, sleep, and emotional functions, and a broad range of activities and participation domains, such as solving problems, conversation, areas of mobility and self-care, relationships, community life and recreation and leisure. CONCLUSIONS Our findings are of interest to researchers and clinicians for interventions and health systems planning as they show that in addition to difficulties that are diagnostic criteria of these disorders, there are other difficulties that explain small changes in health outcomes over short periods of time.

Abstract
The brain and body respond to potential and actual stressful events by activating hormonal and neural mediators and modifying behaviors to adapt. Such responses help maintain physiological stability ("allostasis"). When behavioral or physiological stressors are frequent and/or severe, allostatic responses can become dysregulated and maladaptive ("allostatic load"). Allostatic load may alter brain networks both functionally and structurally. As a result, the brain's responses to continued/subsequent stressors are abnormal, and behavior and systemic physiology are altered in ways that can, in a vicious cycle, lead to further allostatic load. Migraine patients are continually exposed to such stressors, resulting in changes to central and peripheral physiology and function. Here we review how changes in brain states that occur as a result of repeated migraines may be explained by a maladaptive feedforward allostatic cascade model and how understanding migraine within the context of allostatic load model suggests alternative treatments for this often-debilitating disease.

Abstract
Aim of this paper is to describe functioning of subjects with "severe disability" collected with a protocol based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health. It included sections on body functions and structures (BF and BS), activities and participation (A&P), and environmental factors (EF). In A&P, performance without personal support (WPS) was added to standard capacity and performance. Persons with severe disability were those reporting a number of very severe/complete problems in BF or in A&P-capacity superior to mean + 1SD. Correlations between BF and A&P and differences between capacity, performance-WPS, and performance were assessed with Spearman's coefficient. Out of 1051, 200 subjects were considered as severely disabled. Mild to moderate correlations between BF and A&P were reported (between 0.148 and 0.394 when the full range of impairments/limitations was taken into account; between 0.198 and 0.285 when only the severe impairments/limitations were taken into account); performance-WPS was less similar to performance than to capacity. Our approach enabled identifying subjects with "severe disability" and separating the effect of personal support from that of devices, policies, and service provision.
