Cost of migraine management: a pharmacoeconomic overview. (1/257)
Migraine is a chronic, sometimes debilitating, condition that tends to afflict young people who are otherwise healthy and productive. Because diagnostic criteria and effective treatment modalities have not been well taught to physicians, the condition is often undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, and mismanaged, causing unnecessary pain, hardship to the individual, disability, loss of productivity, and increased expense to the healthcare system. This paper discusses a rational approach to the behavioral and pharmacologic treatment of migraine, highlighting the relative costs of preventive and acute care therapies. Several cases are presented to illustrate how the costs of inefficiently managed migraine therapy can be decreased even by using medications that have a higher per-dose cost, as they decrease the pain and disability and actually lower the total cost of managing the patient with migraine.

We used a psychological treatment package (education, relaxation, breathing training, graded exposure to activity and exercise, and challenging automatic thoughts about heart disease) to treat 60 patients who had continuing chest pain despite cardiological reassurance following haemodynamically normal angiography. The treatment was delivered in six sessions over eight weeks to groups of up to six patients. The patients kept daily records of chest pain episode frequency and nitrate use. Questionnaires were used to assess anxiety, depression and disability. Exercise tolerance was tested by treadmill electrocardiography, with capnographic assessment of hyperventilation. The results were compared with waiting-list controls. Treatment significantly reduced chest pain episodes (p < 0.01) from median 6.5 to 2.5 per week. There were significant improvements in anxiety and depression scores (p < 0.05), disability rating (p < 0.0001) and exercise tolerance (p < 0.05), and these were maintained at six month follow-up. Treatment reduced the prevalence of hyperventilation from 54% to 34% (p < 0.01) but not the prevalence of ECG-positive exercise tests. Patients continuing to attribute their pain to heart disease had poorer outcomes. Group psychological treatment for non-cardiac chest pain is feasible, reduces pain, psychological morbidity and disability, and improves exercise tolerance. (+info)Psychological, clinical and pathological effects of relaxation training and guided imagery during primary chemotherapy. (3/257)
The diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer are stressful, and stress may be associated with a poorer response to chemotherapy. There is a need, therefore, to develop and evaluate interventions that might enhance quality of life and, possibly, improve treatment response. The effects of relaxation combined with guided imagery (visualizing host defences destroying tumour cells) on quality of life and response to primary chemotherapy, to date, have not been adequately evaluated. Ninety-six women with newly diagnosed large or locally advanced breast cancer (T2 > 4 cm, T3, T4, or TxN2 and M0) took part in a prospective, randomized controlled trial. Patients were randomized following diagnosis to a control condition (standard care) or to the experimental condition (standard care plus relaxation training and imagery). Psychometric tests to evaluate mood and quality of life were carried out before each of the six cycles of chemotherapy and 3 weeks after cycle 6: tests of personality and coping strategy were carried out prior to cycles one and six. Clinical response to chemotherapy was evaluated after six cycles of chemotherapy using standard UICC criteria and pathological response was assessed from the tissue removed at surgery. As hypothesized, patients in the experimental group were more relaxed and easy going during the study (Mood Rating Scale). Quality of life was better in the experimental group (Global Self-assessment and Rotterdam Symptom Checklist). The intervention also reduced emotional suppression (Courtauld Emotional Control Scale). The incidence of clinically significant mood disturbance was very low and the incidence in the two groups was similar. Finally, although the groups did not differ for clinical or pathological response to chemotherapy, imagery ratings were correlated with clinical response. These simple, inexpensive and beneficial interventions should be offered to patients wishing to improve quality of life during primary chemotherapy. (+info)Psychotherapeutic counseling and pregnancy rates in in vitro fertilization. (4/257)
PURPOSE: Since the Austrian propagation bill of July 1, 1992, was passed into law, Austrian physicians are committed to offer psychological counseling to women before performing assisted reproductive techniques, unless refused by the patient. The acceptance of psychotherapeutic counseling (PSITCO) and its influence on pregnancy rate were carefully reviewed. METHODS: The study comprised 1156 consecutive patients (mean age, 33.3 years) and 1736 in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. In a consent form for follicle puncture, the patients were interviewed about PSITCO as follows. Several methods of psychological support during IVF-embryo transfer treatment were offered to patients especially psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, and relaxation and physical perception exercises. RESULTS: Forty-two and three-tenths percent of patients rejected PSITCO, 17.8% had already received PSITCO, and 10.4% were willing to undergo PSITCO. The acceptance of PSITCO had no relevance on pregnancy rate. The cumulative calculation of pregnancy rates showed that up to 56.4% of women who had undergone PSITCO conceived. In patients who were planning to undergo PSITCO, the pregnancy rate was 41.9%. Concerning the cumulative pregnancy rate, this study showed that patients who accepted or underwent PSITCO had a higher pregnancy rate than those who did not avail themselves of this possibility. CONCLUSIONS: These results should encourage sterility specialists to consider psychological therapy as an essential aspect of IVF. Solely a written declaration of the patient stating his/her awareness of the possibility to undergo PSITCO is, in our opinion, insufficient. (+info)A neurobehavioral treatment for unilateral complex partial seizure disorders: a comparison of right- and left-hemisphere patients. (5/257)
This study looked at the efficacy of a multi-disciplinary neurobehavioral approach for treating patients with complex partial seizure disorders. Patients with a seizure focus in either the left or right hemisphere were compared for overall effectiveness of this approach in achieving control of complex partial seizures. Patients in this study received short-term treatment based on a model of self-control developed by the Andrews/Reiter Epilepsy Research Program. This research selected all patients who met the lateralization criterion from among cases receiving short-term treatment between 1992 and 1996. Forty-four patients were identified, a group of 21 right-hemisphere subjects and a second group of 23 left-hemisphere subjects. These patients were treated in a short-term (5 consecutive days) treatment protocol and then released, with weekly phone contact for 6 months following treatment. They were then followed for an additional 19 months through the continued submission of their seizure logs and journals. Subjects in both groups kept seizure records throughout the study starting with a two-month baseline period. Other data collected allowed study of the interaction of emotional states with seizure occurrence. This project produced valuable and relevant information regarding neurobehavioral management interventions as an effective adjunctive or alternative treatment for obtaining seizure control in epilepsy patients. Overall, 79% of patients treated achieved seizure control. More than 64% identified a recognizable emotional state that triggered seizures. The emotional trigger was specific for either the right or left hemisphere. (+info)Stress reactivity to and recovery from a standardised exercise bout: a study of 31 runners practising relaxation techniques. (6/257)
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy in runners of two relaxation techniques with regard to exercise reactivity and recovery after exercise. METHODS: Thirty one adult male runners were studied prospectively for six months in three groups practising either meditation (n = 11) or autogenic training (n = 11) or serving as controls (n = 10). Before and after the six months relaxation intervention, indicators of reactivity to exercise and metabolism after exercise (blood lactate concentration, heart rate (HR), and oxygen consumption (VO2)), were tested immediately after and 10 minutes after exercise. Resting HR was also assessed weekly at home during the trial. State anxiety was measured before and after the intervention. RESULTS: After the relaxation training, blood lactate concentration after exercise was significantly (p<0.01) decreased in the meditation group compared with the control group. No difference was observed in lactate responses between the autogenic training group and the control group. There were no significant differences among the groups with regard to HR, VO2, or levels of anxiety. CONCLUSION: Meditation training may reduce the lactate response to a standardised exercise bout. (+info)The benefits of interventions for work-related stress. (7/257)
OBJECTIVES: This quantitative meta-analysis sought to determine the effectiveness of occupational stress-reducing interventions and the populations for which such interventions are most beneficial. METHODS: Forty-eight experimental studies (n = 3736) were included in the analysis. Four intervention types were distinguished: cognitive-behavioral interventions, relaxation techniques, multimodal programs, and organization-focused interventions. RESULTS: A small but significant overall effect was found. A moderate effect was found for cognitive-behavioral interventions and multimodal interventions, and a small effect was found for relaxation techniques. The effect size for organization-focused interventions was nonsignificant. Effects were most pronounced on the following outcome categories: complaints, psychologic resources and responses, and perceived quality of work life. CONCLUSIONS: Stress management interventions are effective. Cognitive-behavioral interventions are more effective than the other intervention types. (+info)Hypertension control improved through patient education. Chinese PEP Investigators. (8/257)
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of patient education for hypertension on hypertension control. METHODS: Of 169 eligible patients (systolic blood pressure > or = 160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure > or = 95 mmHg), 60 were assigned to educational group (group E, antihypertensive drug treatment with an addition of patient education) and 109 to routine group (group R, antihypertensive drug treatment alone). The average follow-up approximated to 3 years. RESULTS: The blood pressure was reduced from at baseline and sustained in the three-year follow-up by 20/13 mmHg in group E and by 22/13 mmHg in group R. For this similar blood pressure reduction, about 10 mg less of metoprolol and 6 mg less of nitrendipine were used in group E than in group R. The percentage of the patients in whom goal blood pressure (under 160/90 mmHg) was achieved during follow-up was higher and progressively increased in group E (1st year: 65%, 2nd year: 72%) in comparison with in group R (1st year: 45%; 2nd year: 55%). Body weight was significantly reduced by 1.36 and 1.81 kg from at baseline to at the 1st and 2nd year repeated measurements in group E. The significant reduction from at baseline to at the 2nd year was significantly different from that in group R (P = 0.02). For 24-hour urinary sodium excretion, it was decreased in the group E, whereas it was increased in the group R. The cumulative rates of hypertension-related complications were 4.43% in group E and 7.02% in group R (absolute difference = 2.59%, P = 0.48). The rate of missed appointments was somewhat higher in group R (10%) than in group E (7%) during the first year but lower in the 2nd and 3rd year (R vs E: 10% vs 2% in the 2nd year; 8% vs 2% in the 3rd year). Four patients lost to follow-up in group R (6.87%) and 1 patient in group E (1.74%, P = 0.08). CONCLUSION: The findings of this study suggest that patient education is of some benefits to the hypertension control. (+info)Relaxation Therapy is a broad range of techniques, including deep breathing, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, and visualization, aimed at producing a state of mental and physical calm to reduce stress and anxiety, manage pain, or promote overall well-being.
Relaxation therapy is not a specific type of therapy with its own distinct medical definition. Rather, relaxation is a common element that is incorporated into many types of therapies and techniques aimed at reducing stress, anxiety, and promoting physical and mental relaxation. These techniques can include various forms of mind-body interventions such as deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, guided imagery, meditation, yoga, tai chi, and biofeedback.
The goal of relaxation therapy is to help individuals learn to control their physiological responses to stress and anxiety, leading to a reduction in muscle tension, lower heart rate and blood pressure, and an overall sense of calm and well-being. While relaxation therapy is not typically used as a standalone treatment for medical conditions, it can be a useful adjunctive therapy when combined with other treatments for a variety of physical and mental health concerns.
Audioanalgesia is a non-pharmacological pain control technique that uses music or other auditory stimuli to help reduce the perception of pain, potentially through the release of endorphins and the modulation of heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rates.
Audioanalgesia is not a recognized medical term. However, it appears that you might be looking for "auditory stimulation" or "music therapy," which are techniques used to help manage pain and anxiety in patients. These methods involve the use of music or other sounds to evoke positive emotions, relaxation, and distraction from painful sensations.
There is some evidence suggesting that auditory stimulation can have analgesic effects by releasing endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, and reducing anxiety levels. However, it should be noted that audioanalgesia is not a standalone medical treatment for pain management and usually serves as an adjunct to other therapies or treatments.
Hypnosis in dentistry is a state of highly focused attention or concentration, often induced by a hypnotist, that increases suggestibility and can be used to reduce anxiety, manage pain, and enhance recovery during dental procedures.
Hypnosis in dentistry, also known as hypnodontics, refers to the use of hypnosis as an adjunctive therapy in dental practice. It is a state of highly focused attention or concentration, often associated with relaxation, and heightened suggestibility. The American Dental Association recognizes hypnosis as a useful tool for:
* Reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation before and during dental procedures
* Managing pain and reducing the need for anesthesia
* Controlling gag reflex
* Treating dental phobias
* Assisting in habit control, such as bruxism (teeth grinding) and nail biting
* Enhancing recovery after surgery
The process typically involves verbal or written suggestions made by a trained dental professional to the patient, who is in a state of hypnotic trance. The patient remains conscious and in control throughout the procedure, but is more open to accepting and acting on the suggestions made. Hypnosis is considered safe when practiced by a trained professional, and its effectiveness varies from person to person.
'Muscle relaxation' is a state or process characterized by reduced muscle tension and increased muscular flexibility, often induced through various techniques such as progressive relaxation, meditation, or pharmacological interventions, to alleviate pain, stress, or enhance physical therapy outcomes.
Muscle relaxation, in a medical context, refers to the process of reducing tension and promoting relaxation in the skeletal muscles. This can be achieved through various techniques, including progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), where individuals consciously tense and then release specific muscle groups in a systematic manner.
PMR has been shown to help reduce anxiety, stress, and muscle tightness, and improve overall well-being. It is often used as a complementary therapy in conjunction with other treatments for conditions such as chronic pain, headaches, and insomnia.
Additionally, muscle relaxation can also be facilitated through pharmacological interventions, such as the use of muscle relaxant medications. These drugs work by inhibiting the transmission of signals between nerves and muscles, leading to a reduction in muscle tone and spasticity. They are commonly used to treat conditions such as multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injuries.
