Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Fibromyalgia is a chronic syndrome marked by intense musculoskeletal pain often refractory to pharmacological treatment. Although studies have shown that hypnosis improves fibromyalgia pain, gaps in experimental design limit their reliability. This work aimed to evaluate the effects of hypnosis on pain, mental health, sleep, and quality of life in participants with fibromyalgia chronic pain. METHODS In this prospective, parallel, randomized, controlled, blindly-evaluated trial, participants of both sexes (n = 49) diagnosed with fibromyalgia and with moderate to severe chronic pain attended 8 weekly 1-h sessions with a hypnotherapist. For the hypnosis group (n = 24), sessions consisted in induction of hypnotic trance followed by suggestions to promote analgesia. For the control group (n = 25), sessions consisted in casual unscripted conversation. Participants were assessed at baseline (7 days before), post-intervention (7 days after), and follow-up (3 months after). The primary outcome was pain intensity. The secondary outcomes were the sensory and affective dimensions of pain; pain unpleasantness; pain catastrophizing; anxiety and depression; sleep quality; fibromyalgia impact; and quality of life. RESULTS Hypnosis significantly reduced pain scores both at post-intervention and follow-up in comparison with baseline. The analgesic effect of hypnosis combined with pharmacological treatment lasted for at least 3 months and was superior to analgesia promoted by first- and second-line pharmacological treatment alone. Hypnosis significantly improved all parameters evaluated as secondary outcomes both at post-intervention and follow-up without inducing adverse events. CONCLUSION Our results corroborate that clinical hypnosis is an effective and feasible tool for managing chronic pain and other symptoms of fibromyalgia.

Abstract
Sleep disturbance is frequently reported by women during the menopausal transition due to various physiological changes and environmental factors. Insomnia is a critical treatment target for its deleterious effects on daytime functioning and quality of life and increased risk of developing a depressive disorder. Due to medication side effects and patient preferences, there is increased interest in the use of psychological treatments that address the myriad of menopausal symptoms, including cognitive-behavioural therapy, clinical hypnosis and mindfulness-based therapies. The objective of this article is to review the effects of psychological treatments for menopausal symptoms on sleep disturbance in peri-/postmenopausal women. We conducted a systematic review of the literature using PubMed and reference lists from inception until May 2023, including 12 studies that evaluated sleep as a secondary outcome. Most studies found that group and self-help (guided and unguided) cognitive-behavioural therapies and clinical hypnosis for menopausal symptoms have positive effects on sleep among women with significant vasomotor symptoms. There was preliminary support for mindfulness-based stress reduction. Future research including more diverse samples and women with sleep disorders is needed. Evaluating the implementation of psychological therapies in clinics where menopausal women seek care is an important next step.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, the incidence of menopause insomnia has gradually increased, seriously affecting women's physical and mental health. METHODS Total 82 climacteric insomnia patients received from January 2021 to January 2023 were divided into 2 groups at random. In control group, 41 cases received conventional Western medicine, and in study group, 41 cases received acupuncture combined with Ningshen mixture. Clinical effectiveness of both groups was compared, neurotransmitter levels, TCM syndrome integral and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were assessed in both groups. Meanwhile, the recurrence rate and safety were evaluated in 2 groups. RESULTS The curative effect in study group was better than that in control group (P < .05). After treatment, the expressions of 5-hydroxytryptamine and β-endorphin (β-EP) in study group were higher than control group (P < .05); TCM syndrome scores and PSQI scores in study group were lower than control group (P < .05). The total recurrence rate in study group was obviously lower than control group at 3 months after treatment (P < .05). There were no serious adverse reactions in both group, and no distinct difference between 2 groups was found (P > .05). CONCLUSION Acupuncture united with Ningshen mixture has a significant therapeutic effect and high safety in climacteric insomnia patients. It can effectively improve the neurotransmitter levels, clinical symptoms and sleep quality, and reduce the recurrence rate of climacteric insomnia patients, which has high clinical application value and is worthy of clinical promotion.

Abstract
Menopause is a physiological change in which the menstrual period permanently ends. Every woman experiences this transition in different ways between the ages of 40 and 55. Women may have menopausal symptoms as a result of low estrogen levels. Self-care is a practice which women can use to maintain their wellness. This study aimed to assess physical activity, self-care, and menopausal symptoms and their associations with selected variables. The results showed that women should adhere to postmenopausal guidelines (PMGs). A cross-sectional study was conducted among 212 menopausal women randomly selected from health centers in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. The international physical activity tool, a self-care questionnaire, and the Kupperman menopausal index scale were used to assess women's physical activity, self-care, and menopausal symptoms, respectively. The chi-square and Pearson correlation tests were used for analysis. The women were 55.01 ± 6.87 years old, and 40.6% reached menopause between the ages of 46 and 50 years; 57.1% of the women had low physical activity, which was associated with menopausal symptoms (p < 0.022). The highest mean score (29.63 ± 5.83) was obtained for physical health, while the lowest (11.92 ± 3.58) was found in self-care screening tests. Regarding menopausal symptoms, 25.9% had mild, 69.8% had moderate, and 4.3% had severe symptoms. A significant association was found between menopausal symptoms and age, menopausal age, education, body mass index, and PMGs awareness at p < 0.001. Self-care positively correlated with menopausal symptoms (p < 0.001). Therefore, attention should be given to women's adherence to PMGs so that they can enjoy healthier lives after menopause.

Abstract
Aims This research investigated menopausal women older than 50 years to find whether there were any independent relationships between the duration of sleep they got and their prevalence of depression. Methods National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) datasets from 2011-2020 were utilized in a cross-sectional study. Using multivariate linear regression models, the linear relationship between sleep duration and depression in menopausal women was investigated. Fitted smoothing curves and thresholds impact evaluation were used to investigate the nonlinear relationship. Then, subgroup analyses were performed according to smoking, drinking alcohol, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and moderate activities. Results This population-based study included a total of 3,897 menopausal women (mean age 65.47 ± 9.06 years) aged≥50 years; 3,159 had a depression score <10, and 738 had a depression score≥10. After controlling for all covariates, the prevalence of depression was 17% higher among participants with short sleep duration [OR=1.17, 95%CI=(0.65, 1.70), P<0.0001] and 86% [OR=1.86, 95%CI=(1.05, 2.66), P<0.0001] compared to participants with normal sleep duration. In subgroup analyses stratified by smoking and diabetes, the sleep duration and depression scores of non-smokers [β=-0.18, 95%CI= (-0.33, -0.02), P=0.0241] and diabetics were independently negatively correlated [β=-0.32, 95%CI= (-0.63, -0.01), P=0.0416]. Using a two-segment linear regression model, we discovered a U-shaped relationship between sleep duration and depression scores with an inflection point of 7.5 hours. Less than 7.5 hours of sleep was associated with an increased risk of developing depression [β=-0.81, 95%CI= (-1.05, -0.57), P<0.001]. However, sleeping more than 7.5 hours per night increased the risk of depression considerably [β=0.80, 95%CI= (0.51, 1.08), P<0.001]. Conclusions Depression is associated with sleep duration in menopausal women. Insufficient or excessive sleep may increase the risk of depression in menopausal women.

An RCT META analysis based on the effect of tai chi exercise therapy on the outcome of elderly patients with moderate-to-severe sleep disorders-A systematic review study. Heliyon 2024; 10:e24085. [PMID: 38293413 PMCID: PMC10826669 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Background According to statistics, about one-fifth of the world's elderly people suffer from sleep disorders, and the problem of sleep disorders in the elderly is extremely serious, and this problem is one of the important causes of chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and coronary heart disease in the elderly. The positive effect of Tai Chi exercise therapy on sleep problems has been confirmed, but at present, the effect of the specific duration of Tai Chi exercise on the improvement of elderly people with moderate to severe sleep disorders varies. Objective META analysis was used to investigate and find that long-term Tai Chi exercise therapy has the best effect on improving sleep in elderly patients with moderate to severe sleep disorders. Methods: META analysis was performed using Revman 5.3 after searching Web of science, Pubmed, Scopus, The Cochroae Library, OVID, CBM, CNKI, VIP, and other databases, and then filtering and extracting. Results A total of seven papers were included. Meta-analysis showed that tai chi exercise was more effective in improving sleep problems in elderly patients with sleep disorders compared to the control group, and the difference was significant. This was demonstrated by a decrease in the global Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score [SMD = -0.66, 95 % CI (-0.91, -0.41), P < 0.00001], as well as its subdomains of subjective sleep quality [SMD = -0.79, 95 % CI (-1.06, -0.52), P < 0.00001], sleep latency [SMD = -0.80, 95 % CI (-1.21, -0.40), P < 0.00001], sleep duration [SMD = -0.38, 95 % CI (-0.72, -0.04), P = 0.03], habitual sleep efficiency [SMD = -0.58, 95 % CI (-0.84, -0.31), P < 0.0001], sleep disturbance [SMD = -0.51, 95 % CI (-0.78, -0.25), P = 0.00001] and daytime dysfunction [SMD = -0.33, 95 % CI (-0.59, -0.07), P = 0.01]. Improvement was also observed in the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Insomnia Severity Index Scale (ISI). The results showed that the optimal duration and frequency of Tai Chi exercise therapy for improving moderately severe elderly patients with sleep disorders was long-term. Conclusion This study systematically assessed the efficacy of Tai Chi exercise therapy for elderly patients with moderate-to-severe sleep disorders. Through a meta-analysis of relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs), it aims to determine the effectiveness of Tai Chi exercise in improving sleep quality in elderly patients with moderate-to-severe sleep disorders, as well as to compare its effects with those of traditional treatments; to analyze the safety of Tai Chi exercise for this patient population and assess its feasibility as a non-pharmacological therapy; and to fill the research gaps and provide more comprehensive and systematic evidence support. This study provides a practical approach to reducing the risk of medication side effects in older adults with sleep disorders and offers a potentially effective non-pharmacological treatment option, especially for those who are unable or unwilling to use medication. Tai chi exercise may not only improve sleep, but also improve coordination, muscle strength, balance, and reduce stress and anxiety in older adults. It also helps older adults socialize and enhances their social connections and emotional support. This study suggests that community centers or activity centers for the elderly can organize tai chi classes to promote the participation of older adults, and can be used as a scientific exercise rehabilitation tool in clinical treatment, incorporating tai chi practice into daily life, such as tai chi practice at a fixed time every day or every week, which not only helps to improve the sleep disorders of older adults, but also improves their overall quality of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE s: To assess whether mind-body therapies (MBTs) are effective for relieving sleep disturbance among patients with cancer. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS Seven English electronic databases were searched from the date of inception to September 2022. All RCTs that included adults (≥18 years) who were treated with mindfulness, yoga, qigong, relaxation, and hypnosis were screened. The outcome was subjective and/or objective sleep disturbance.The revised Cochrane tool (RoB 2.0) was applied to evaluate the risk of bias. The RevMan software was applied to assessed each outcome according different control groups and assessment time points. Subgroup analyses were performed according to different categories of MBTs. RESULTS Sixty-eight RCTs (6339 participants) were identified. After requesting for missing data from corresponding authors of included RCTs, 56 studies (5051 participants) were included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis showed a significant immediate effect of mindfulness, yoga, relaxation, and hypnosis on subjective sleep disturbance, compared with usual care or wait list control, and the effect of mindfulness lasted at least 6 months. For objective sleep outcomes, we observed significant immediate effects of yoga on wake after sleep onset and of mindfulness on sleep onset latency and total sleep time. Compared with active control interventions, MBTs had no significant effect on sleep disturbance. CONCLUSIONS Mindfulness, yoga, relaxation, and hypnosis were effective in sleep disturbance severity reduction among patients with cancer at post-intervention, and the effect of mindfulness lasted at least 6 months. Future MBTs studies should apply both objective and subjective sleep measurement tools.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hypnosis is useful for diminishing distress during medical procedures. This study investigated the efficacy of virtually augmented self-hypnosis as an adjunctive non-pharmacological method for procedural pain and anxiety relief during endovascular interventions (EVI). METHODS We compared an immersive distraction experience (clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT04561596) featuring virtual reality (VR) using a head-mounted display versus treatment as usual (TAU). Patients followed the "Aqua" module (Oncomfort™) consisting of a scuba dive and breathing exercises. They experienced a self-induced dissociative state similar to clinical hypnosis without direct intervention of a professional. Enrollment followed a 1:1 randomized open study (VR or TAU). Patients' feelings were evaluated just before and after the procedure, and 3 months following intervention. Anxiety was evaluated using the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and pain (sensory, emotional, and memory) with a visual analogue scale (VAS). RESULTS This study included 100 patients. Mean anxiety (pre-post) was significantly reduced within groups and between groups (difference of 4.2 points, p = 0.016). The percentage of responders to anxiety lowering were 76 and 46% for VR and TAU, respectively (p = 0.004). The two groups did not significantly differ in mean sensory-intensity and affective emotional pain (pre-post) using VAS, in negative memories concerning remembered pain at 3 months (difference > 1 from immediate post-procedural reported pain intensity), mean procedural time, or the need for analgesic or sedative drugs. CONCLUSIONS VR self-hypnosis has the potential to improve the management of patients' distress during radiological procedures. It is safe and effective for reducing anxiety during EVI.

Abstract
Children with Attentional Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) frequently have low self-awareness and attentional deficits on which therapeutic hypnosis can have a positive impact. Here we investigated the contribution of therapeutic hypnosis in the treatment of written language disorders in a child with ADHD. This study is a Single-Case Experimental Design (SCED) using repeated measures. The participant is 11 years old. We assessed reading performance and verbal fluency for four weeks before starting the intervention, as well as during the therapeutic window when four hypnosis sessions were administered over an 8-week timeframe. We assessed written language through a regular and irregular word reading test, a spelling choice test, a phonological analysis test, and a fast serial naming test pre- and post-intervention. We assessed attention and self-esteem pre- and post-intervention. The patient's scores on text reading improved during the intervention compared to the baseline (p = .028). Reading fluency improved, but the pre-post comparison did not reach statistical significance. A progression in scores and response times in phonological tests was observed, with the participant moving from pathological scores in the pre-intervention to normative scores in the post-intervention. Attention and self-esteem significantly improved after the treatment (p = .031, and p = .002 respectively). These results indicate that hypnosis-based therapy might be beneficial to children with specific written language disorders. If these results are confirmed in future studies, therapeutic hypnosis may become part of the recommendations for treatment of ADHD.

The underestimation of sleep duration phenotype is associated with better treatment response to cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia in patients with chronic insomnia: a preliminary study. J Clin Sleep Med 2022; 18:2443-2450. [PMID: 35818730 PMCID: PMC9516587 DOI: 10.5664/jcsm.10130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/26/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To examine treatment response to cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in patients with chronic insomnia with and without underestimation of sleep duration. METHODS We studied 41 patients with chronic insomnia who had received 5-week CBT-I. Self-reported and objective sleep were assessed with sleep diary and actigraphy, respectively. Sleep perception was calculated as self-reported total sleep time/objective total sleep time. The underestimation of sleep duration group was defined based on sleep perception less than the median of the overall sample (85%). Insomnia Severity Index was used to assess the severity of insomnia. RESULTS The total scores of Insomnia Severity Index decreased significantly after CBT-I in both groups with and without underestimation of sleep duration. Compared to pretreatment, self-reported sleep efficiency increased and total wake time decreased after CBT-I, while the magnitude of changes in sleep efficiency (d = 1.40 vs d=0.81, interaction P = .016) and total wake time (d = -1.82 vs d = -0.85, interaction P < .001) were larger in the underestimation of sleep duration group . Furthermore, self-reported sleep onset latency (interaction P = .520) and wake after sleep onset (interaction P = .052) decreased in the underestimation of sleep duration group (all P < .05), but not in patients without underestimation of sleep duration. Linear regressions showed that lower sleep perception at baseline predicted greater increase in self-reported sleep efficiency (β = -0.99, P < .001) and total sleep time (β = -0.51, P = .006) and greater decrease in self-reported total wake time (β=1.22, P = .023) after CBT-I after adjusting for confounders. CONCLUSIONS The current preliminary study suggests that sleep perception moderates the self-reported CBT-I effects on chronic insomnia: the phenotype of underestimation of sleep duration is associated with a better response to CBT-I, especially in self-reported sleep parameters.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess sleep quality and examine its relationship with menopausal symptoms among Saudi postmenopausal women. METHODS We carried out a cross-sectional study of 410 postmenopausal women, aged 50-60 years, visiting Prince Mutaib bin Abdulaziz Hospital, Maternity and Children Hospital, and primary health care clinics, Sakaka, Jouf, Saudi Arabia. The menopause rating scale (MRS) was used to assess menopause symptoms and severity, while the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality. RESULTS The participants' age was 53.04±4.15 years, their mean age at natural menopause was 49.14±3.07, and the meantime since their menopause was 6.50±3.84 years. The PSQI total mean score was 6.10±4.17, classified into good versus poor sleepers; 65.4% scored ≤5, and 34.6% scored >5. The Mann-Whitney analysis revealed that somatic and urogenital symptoms, and total MRS score were associated with poor sleep quality (p<0.001). CONCLUSION The study findings revealed that more than one-third of Saudi postmenopausal women had poor sleep quality.

Abstract
Women are likely to suffer from sleep disorders more in comparison to men during menopause and with advancing age. The incidence of sleep disorders ranges from 16% to 47% at peri-menopause and 35%–60% at postmenopause. Insomnia with or without associated anxiety or low lying depression and Mood disorder is most common associated manifestations. Sleep disorders and insomnia largely remain a clinical diagnosis based on the subjective complaints of patients. Benzodiazepines remain the mainstay of the treatment in majority of the sleep disorders including chronic or acute insomnia. Treatment of associated anxiety, depression, or psychosis is most important. Tricyclic antidepressant, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI), Melatonin, Duloxetine, Fluoxetine, Imipramine, Nortriptyline or Amitriptyline and other drugs such as Eszopiclone, Escitalopram, Gabapentin, Quiteiapine, Citalopram, Mirtazapine followed by long-acting Melatonin and Ramelteon, also are very useful for the management of various sleep disorders. Hormone replacement therapy presently lacks concrete evidence to be used in menopausal women for sleep disorder. Sleep hygiene practices, self-hypnosis, meditation, and exercise play a very important role.
