[Abstract] YouTube as a Source of Information for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Stroke: A Quality, Reliability and Accuracy Analysis

Highlights

•TMS is used to treat various diseases such as stroke and depression.

•Patients may be at risk of exposure to false information about TMS on YouTube.

•It is necessary to access the accurate information on YouTube about TMS treatment.

•Academicians need to be encouraged to create videos with better educational quality.

Abstract

Background and objectives

Studies using YouTube data for various diseases are rapidly increasing. This study aimed to investigate the educational quality, reliability and accuracy of the YouTube videos concerning repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) applications in patients with stroke.

Methods

This is a descriptive study. A video based search on YouTube was performed on April 18th, 2020 by using keyword ‘stroke repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation’. The videos were queried using the default settings on YouTube and the results were listed according to relevance. Video parameters and sources were recorded. Quality, reliability and accuracy of the videos were determined with Global Quality Score (GQS), Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) Benchmark Criteria and Modified DISCERN Questionnaire, respectively.

Results

A total of 21 videos were included in the study. The median number of views for videos was 884 (range: 89-28589) and the median duration was 135 seconds. None of the videos had a negative interaction index. The median value was found to be 3 for all three measurements (GQS, JAMA, and DISCERN). Most of the videos were of intermediate quality (47.6%) and had partial sufficient data (61.9%). In the high-quality group, the number of views, dislikes, the duration of the videos, JAMA and DISCERN scores were higher than the low-quality group (p < 0.05). At the same time, viewing rates of the high-quality group were better than the low and the intermediate-quality group (p < 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between GQS and number of the views, video duration, number of likes, number of dislikes, viewing rate and modified DISCERN questionnaire scores (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

Our results showed that most of the rated videos were of intermediate quality and had partially sufficient data. It has also been found that high-quality videos have higher viewing rates, more dislikes, longer video durations as well as better reliability and accuracy scores. YouTube videos of higher quality and accuracy are needed to increase awareness of rTMS by stroke patients.

[VIDEO] 2019 Research about Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation TMS | NYC Psychiatrist – YouTube

Psychiatrist Robert D. McMullen – NYC – Depression Specialist – TMS BrainCare

In this video, we introduce Robert D. McMullen, MD who is a psychiatrist in NYC who has been performing psychopharmacology for over 30 years, the last 10 of which includes transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS). Today, he will discuss some recent developments in research regarding TMS.

There were recently two conferences held in Vancouver, Canada regarding TMS research. The first was a 2 day conference held by the Clinical Society of TMS, which is the U.S organization for TMS research that has been around for 10 years. The second was the three day International Brain Stimulation held every 2 years. During these conferences, new research on TMS was presented.

Usually TMS treatments have been left excitatory on the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. It was then observed that if you performed inhibitory treatment on the right side it worked as well. Afterwards, many started doing bilateral treatments. Recent studies suggest that all those forms of treatment work equally as well, although for some, bilateral treatment might work better.

Another breakthrough in TMS treatment in the last few years is theta burst stimulation. It shortens the length of treatment on both sides of the brain(40 seconds on the right and 3 minutes and 8 seconds on the left side).

Recent findings suggest that doing 2 TMS treatments per day increases the odds of patients responding to TMS treatments. One recent study shows that people who receive 2 treatments per day for 15 days did just as well as people who did 1 treatment per day for 30 days. Using theta bursts significantly lowers the length of the treatment allowing multiple treatments to be performed in one day. Ideally, each treatment should be performed 15 minutes apart for optimal effect.

These were just a few of the findings presented at the conferences. Although TMS research is still ongoing, the future is looking bright for this method of treatment.

With a vast network of Saebo-trained clinicians spanning six continents, Saebo has helped over 100,000 clients around the globe achieve a new level of independence. In 2001, two occupational therapists had one simple, but powerful goal – to provide neurological clients access to transformative and life changing products. At the time, treatment options for improving arm and hand function were limited. The technology that did exist was expensive and inaccessible for home use. With inadequate therapy options often leading to unfavorable outcomes, health professionals routinely told their clients that they have “reached a plateau” or “no further gains can be made”. The founders believed that it was not the clients who had plateaued, but rather their treatment options had plateaued. Saebo’s commitment – “No Plateau in Sight” – was inspired by this mentality; and the accessible, revolutionary solutions began. Saebo’s revolutionary product offering was based on the latest advances in rehabilitation research. From the SaeboFlex which allows clients to incorporate their hand functionally in therapy or at home, to the SaeboMAS, an unweighting device used to assist the arm during daily living tasks and exercise training, “innovation” and “affordability” can now be used in the same sentence. Over the last ten years, Saebo has grown into a leading global provider of rehabilitative products created through the unrelenting leadership and the strong network of clinicians around the world. As we celebrate our history and helping more than 100,000 clients regain function, we are growing this commitment to affordability and accessibility even further by making our newest, most innovative products more accessible than ever.

[VIDEO] Traumatic Brain Injury: Understanding Fatigue – YouTube

The TBI Coach, Nathalie Kelly, explains cognitive fatigue in a way that everyone can understand. Brain fatigue is a huge debilitating issue for those with brain injuries and concusssions. See the full transcript below.

Hello my beautiful and courageous friends,

Do you find it hard to understand that at some moments someone with a TBI can appear to function pretty well, and a minute later they are stuttering and stumbling?

It’s called Cognitive Fatigue. Cognitive fatigue happens because the injured brain is working very hard . Since the old pathways are broken, your amazing brain is having to find new paths. when the brain is overloaded and it is like your brain switch being turned off. One minute you are there, and the next minute, it was too much, a fuse blew, and you are gone.

It can be so extreme of a contrast, that people get accused of faking their brain injury. That hurts!

The best explanation I have ever heard comes from Dr. Clark Elliott in his fabulous book “The Ghost in My Brain”. He came up with a great metaphor. It is as if we have 3 energy batteries, an A, B, C battery.

The most efficient battery is the A battery. For most people, it gets charged up each night with sleep,and lasts throughout the day. When the A battery gets used, we have to turn to our B battery. The B battery does not last as long and takes a lot longer to charge. When the B Battery runs down, we have to turn to our emergency battery, the C battery. The C battery should be for dire emergencies only. It only lasts a short while and it takes days to recharge. It’s kinda of like your laptop tells you you have 2% battery left. And then it shuts off and the screen goes black.

When you have a TBI, your A battery gets used up processing things that took no effort before. An enormous percentage of our brain’s energy goes toward processing vision. While it was no problem before, now Processing vision and sound, balance and motion, now takes most of your available energy. So your A batteries are always depleted.

You are now running on B batteries to do anything else, getting groceries, driving a car, going to work. They are not going to last long. And so you are dipping into the C batteries on a daily basis and not just during an emergency.

This is what it looks like when the C batteries are depleted. There will be days of sleep to pay for pushing it this far.

At the beginning of a brain injury when your brain is working really hard to find workarounds for the broken connections, you may be like this most of the time. Over time, as your brain slowly heals, your ability to process information improves and now your A battery has a little more capacity. As you get better you are tapping into you C battery less and less, perhaps only on rough days instead of everyday.

When you are fatigued, it is really important to sleep. That is the only way the batteries get charged again. And that is how our brain heals. New studies show that sleep is the process during which the brain dispels toxins so it can function at its best.

So, if someone you love has a Brain Injury and you can tell they are fatigued. What they need from you is an Immediate response. It takes less than a minute to go from one battery cell to the next, Take them out of the situation, the restaurant, the noise, and get them to quiet, dark, and rest ASAP. You do not want to linger. and You do not want to push the system into the C batteries.

Please share with our community your thoughts and experiences in the comment section below. What do you think of this A B C Battery metaphor? What helps you with cognitive fatigue?
