Aims: To evaluate how improved treatment adherence with a lower-frequency regimen/treatment of intramuscular (IM) IFNβ-1a impacts therapeutic effectiveness in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) patients switching from a higher-frequency injectable regimen/treatment. Patients & methods: Italian patients with relapsing-remitting MS and prior poor adherence to high-frequency injectable treatments (n = 181) were followed for 24 months after starting IM IFNβ-1a. Results: During the study, 97.4% of patients were treatment adherent; 22.1% of patients reported a relapse. The estimated probability of remaining relapse-free after 2 years was 78%. A high dropout rate (52.5%) led to small sample size and reduced statistical power. Conclusion: Intramuscular IFNβ-1a treatment was associated with high adherence and a low relapse rate. Unfortunately, low patient retention limited the generalizability of these findings.

Cognitive impairment related to dementia is under-diagnosed in primary care despite availability of numerous cognitive assessment tools; under-diagnosis is more prevalent for members of racial and ethnic minority groups. Clinical decision-support systems may improve rates of primary care providers responding to positive cognitive assessments with appropriate follow-up. The 5-Cog study is a randomized controlled trial in 1200 predominantly Black and Hispanic older adults from an urban underserved community who are presenting to primary care with cognitive concerns. The study will validate a novel 5-minute cognitive assessment coupled with an electronic medical record-embedded decision tree to overcome the barriers of current cognitive assessment paradigms in primary care and facilitate improved dementia care.

Aim: This study aimed to assess the usability of a specific EU-available application device for Sativex® (USA adopted name: nabiximols) cannabinoid-based oromucosal spray in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and spasticity-related upper limb and hand impairment in routine daily practice. Methods: MS patients with upper limb and hand impairment evaluated the usability of the device using an ad hoc 18-item questionnaire. Results: 60 patients were included. The comprehensibility of the instructions for use, practical handling and ergonomics of the device were rated as optimal (mean scores ≥8.9/10 across questions). Assisting trained nurses also rated the device as easy to use and helpful for drug administration (mean scores 10/10). Conclusion: The application device may assist MS patients with upper limb impairment self-administer nabiximols oromucosal spray.

Aims: Natalizumab is approved as an infusion every 4 weeks (standard-interval dosing [SID]) in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). Extended-interval dosing (EID) reduces risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) compared with SID, but the impact on healthcare resources and costs remains unknown. Methods: In this population-based study, we included 208 natalizumab-treated MS patients who were classified into EID (≤15 infusions in the previous 18 months; n = 51; age = 33.7 ± 11.1 years; female = 72.5%) and SID (>15 infusions in the previous 18 months; n = 157; age = 36.5 ± 10.8 years; female = 68.1%) groups. Results: Natalizumab EID had fewer MS outpatient visits (p = 0.01) and related costs (p = 0.03), and lower natalizumab costs (p < 0.01) compared with SID, without changes in other healthcare resources and costs. Conclusion: Natalizumab EID is associated with reduced direct treatment costs, apparently without additional healthcare burden.

Levodopa is the standard treatment for Parkinson's disease, but its use is marred by the emergence of dyskinesia, for which treatment options remain limited. Here, we review the glutamatergic modulators that were assessed for their antidyskinetic potential in clinical trials, including N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists, agonists at the glycine-binding site on NMDA receptors, metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) 4 agonists, mGlu5 antagonists, α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) antagonists and glutamate release inhibitors. Several agents that were investigated are not selective for their targets, raising uncertainty about the extent to which glutamatergic modulation contributed to their effects. Except for amantadine, the use of glutamatergic modulators for the treatment of dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease remains largely investigational, with promising results obtained with mGlu5 negative allosteric modulation.

Aim: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that predominately affects dopaminergic neurons. We believe that this pooling of data will help to better understand the prodromal nature of depression in PD. Materials & methods: We conducted this study in accordance with PRISMA guidelines 2020. Fifteen eligible articles were shortlisted for final analysis. Risk of bias assessment was also conducted Results: The random-effect model revealed that the risk of subsequent Parkinson's disease in patients with prodromal depression was twice as likely (OR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.02-4.08) as compared with a healthy population. Conclusion: Our meta-analysis concluded that the subsequent risk of PD is significantly higher in patients with depression as compared with healthy individuals.

Aim: In Huntington's disease (HD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), apathy is a frequently cited barrier to participation in physical activity. Current diagnostic criteria emphasize dissociable variants of apathy that differentially affect goal-directed behavior. How these dimensions present and affect physical activity in HD and PD is unknown. Methods: Using a qualitative approach, we examined the experience of apathy and its impact on physical activity in 20 people with early-manifest HD or idiopathic PD. Results: Two major themes emerged: the multidimensionality of apathy, including initiation or goal-identification difficulties, and the interplay of apathy and fatigue; and facilitators of physical activity, including routines, safe environments and education. Conclusion: Physical activity interventions tailored to apathy phenotypes may maximize participant engagement.

Effective symptomatic management of multiple sclerosis (MS) spasticity remains an unmet need for many patients. The second-line option nabiximols is the most widely investigated of the noninvasive antispasticity medications in this patient population. Clinical evidence accumulated with nabiximols since it was first approved in Europe in 2010 suggests that about 40% of initial responders (i.e., those with ≥20% improvement in their baseline 0-10 Numerical Rating Scale score) may expect to achieve clinically meaningful (≥30% Numerical Rating Scale response) and durable symptomatic improvement in MS spasticity. During 10 years' routine use of nabiximols, no new safety signals have emerged. Nabiximols-associated improvement in MS spasticity-related symptoms such as pain and sleep disruption suggests a need to track possible therapeutic effects beyond muscle tone control.

Aim: To understand clinician attitudes and the barriers that impede research recruitment from specialized primary care-based memory clinics. Materials & methods: Clinicians completed a survey on attitudes and barriers to research recruitment from memory clinics. Results: Comfort and willingness to recruit for research were low to moderate and were lower for drug trials than for observational and non-drug trials. Respondents believed that it is important to have a standardized recruitment process. Identified barriers provide some insights into the factors that contribute to discomfort and lack of willingness to recruit research participants. Discussion: Findings can inform future efforts to develop a recruitment process that addresses identified barriers, while also providing an opportunity to increase participant recruitment in dementia research.
