Comparative Study Observational StudyDepressive Symptoms and Suicidal Ideation in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis Compared With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis: Results From a Cross-sectional Survey.
To (1) describe depressive symptom severity and suicidal ideation (SI) in persons with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS); (2) compare depressive symptom severity and SI in persons with progressive MS and persons with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS); and (3) identify common and unique risk factors for greater depressive symptom severity and SI in persons with progressive MS compared with individuals with RRMS. ⋯ In this sample, there were no group differences between persons with progressive MS and persons with RRMS in depressive symptom severity and SI. Although both groups reported mild depressive symptoms on average, nearly 1 in 4 persons met criteria for probable major depression, which underscores the importance of screening for and treating depressive disorders in all persons with MS.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparative Effect of Liuzijue Qigong and Conventional Respiratory Training on Trunk Control Ability and Respiratory Muscle Function in Patients at an Early Recovery Stage From Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
To compare the effects of Liuzijue Qigong and conventional respiratory training on trunk control ability and respiratory muscle functions in patients at an early recovery stage from stroke. ⋯ Liuzijue exercise showed more changes than conventional respiratory training in improving trunk control ability, respiratory muscle functions, and activities of daily living ability in patients at an early recovery stage from stroke.
