      Background Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) when applied over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been shown to be equally effective and safe to treat depression compared to traditional repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) paradigms. This protocol describes a funded single-centre, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled, clinical trial to investigate ...
    • Change characteristics of health-related quality of life and its association with post-stroke fatigue at four-year follow-up 

      Garder Pedersen, Synne; Anke, Audny Gabriele Wagner; Løkholm, Mari Thoresen; Halvorsen, Marianne; Kirkevold, Marit; Heiberg, Guri Anita; Ørbo, Marte Christine; Friborg, Oddgeir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-04)
      The long-term consequences of stroke may be highly individual and multifaceted. The question of how such individual differences may unfold and change beyond the first year after stroke may be of substantial clinical interest regarding which subgroups show more favourable and unfavourable rehabilitation trajectories. The current study explored functional trajectories from 1 to 4 years post-stroke ...
    • Relevance of cognition to health-related quality of life in good-outcome surviors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest 

      Ørbo, Marte Christine; Aslaksen, Per M.; Larsby, Kristina; Schäfer, Christoph; Tande, Pål Morten; Vangberg, Torgil Riise; Anke, Audny (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-05)
      <p>Objective: For survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with good outcomes, it is not known whether and how health-related quality of life is affected by the cognitive impairments frequently observed in these patients. This study explores how neuropsychological tests of memory, executive and psychomotor functioning relate to the physical and mental aspects of health-related quality ...
    • Resuscitate the heart and remember the brain. A prospective observational study of cognitive outcome after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac arrest 

      Ørbo, Marte Christine (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2016-06-03)
      Cognitive outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest Aim: To investigate long-term cognitive outcomes after survival from Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) with neuropsychological assessment methods. Background: OHCA may cause cognitive impairments and functional disability due to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. Methods: Cognitive functions, health-related quality of life and affective symptoms ...
