anthony.jorm@anu.edu.au. OBJECTIVES: To review the evidence for the effectiveness of
complementary and self-help treatments for anxiety disorders. DATA
SOURCES: Systematic literature search using PubMed, PsycLit, and the
Cochrane Library. DATA SYNTHESIS: 108 treatments were identified and
grouped under the categories of medicines and homoeopathic remedies,
physical treatments, lifestyle, and dietary changes. We give a
description of the 34 treatments (for which evidence was found in the
literature searched), the rationale behind the treatments, a review of
studies on effectiveness, and the level of evidence for the
effectiveness studies. CONCLUSIONS: The treatments with the best
evidence of effectiveness are kava (for generalised anxiety), exercise
(for generalised anxiety), relaxation training (for generalised anxiety,
panic disorder, dental phobia and test anxiety) and bibliotherapy (for
specific phobias). There is more limited evidence to support the
effectiveness of acupuncture, music, autogenic training and meditation
for generalised anxiety; for inositol in the treatment of panic disorder
and obsessive-compulsive disorder; and for alcohol avoidance by people
with alcohol-use disorders to reduce a range of anxiety disorders. |

Ottawa Panel. Ottawa Panel evidence-based clinical practice
guidelines for therapeutic exercises in the management of rheumatoid
arthritis in adults. Ottawa
Panel. BACKGROUND
AND PURPOSE: The purpose of this project was to create guidelines for
the use of therapeutic exercises and manual therapy in the management of
adult patients (>18 years of age) with a diagnosis of rheumatoid
arthritis according to the 1987 American Rheumatism Association
criteria. METHODS: Evidence from comparative controlled trials was
identified and synthesized using The Cochrane Collaboration methods. An
expert panel was formed by inviting professional stakeholder
organizations to each nominate a representative. This panel developed a
set of criteria for grading the strength of both the evidence and the
recommendation. RESULTS: Six positive recommendations of clinical
benefit were developed on therapeutic exercises. The efficacy of manual
therapy interventions could not be determined for lack of evidence.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The panel recommends the use of therapeutic
exercises for rheumatoid arthritis. Further research is needed to
determine the efficacy of manual therapy in the management of this
disease. |

Schmid W, Aldridge D. Active music therapy in the treatment
of multiple sclerosis patients: a matched control study. J Music Ther.
2004 Fall;41(3):225-40. Twenty multiple sclerosis patients (14 female, 6 male) were involved in the study, their ages ranging rom 29 to 47 years. Ten participants formed the therapy group, and 10 the control group. The groups were comparable on the standard neurological classification scheme Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). Exclusion criteria were pregnancy and mental disorders requiring medication. Measurements were taken before therapy began (T1), and subsequently every 3 months (T2-T4). This battery included indicators of clinical depression and anxiety (Beck Depression Inventory and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), a self-acceptance scale (SESA) and a life quality assessment (Hamburg Quality of Life Questionnaire in Multiple Sclerosis). In addition, data were collected on cognitive (MSFC) and functional (EDSS) parameters. Patients in the therapy group received 3 blocks of music therapy in single sessions over the course of the one year project (8 to 10 sessions respectively). The music therapy approach used for this study is based on the Nordoff Robbins approach (Nordoff & Robbins, 1977). There was no significant difference between the music therapy treatment group and the control group. However, the effect size statistics comparing both groups show a medium effect size on the scales measuring self esteem (d = 0.5423, r =.026), depression HAD-D (d = 0.63, r = 0.310) and anxiety HAD-A (d = 0.63, r = 0.310). Significant improvements were found for the therapy group over time (T1-T4) in the scale values of self esteem, depression, and anxiety. Given the stigmatizing effect of a chronic degenerative disease, the positive benefits of music therapy point to a realm of aesthetic considerations in assessing clinical improvement. |

UK BEAM Trial Team. United Kingdom back pain exercise and
manipulation (UK BEAM) randomised trial: cost effectiveness of physical
treatments for back pain in primary care. OBJECTIVE: To assess the cost effectiveness of adding spinal manipulation, exercise classes, or manipulation followed by exercise ("combined treatment") to "best care" in general practice for patients consulting with low back pain. DESIGN: Stochastic cost utility analysis alongside pragmatic randomised trial with factorial design. SETTING: 181 general practices and 63 community settings for physical treatments around 14 centres across the United Kingdom. PARTICIPANTS: 1287 (96%) of 1334 trial participants. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Healthcare costs, quality adjusted life years (QALYs), and cost per QALY over 12 months. RESULTS: Over one year, mean treatment costs relative to "best care" were 195 pounds sterling (360 dollars; 279 euros; 95% credibility interval 85 pounds sterling to 308 pounds sterling) for manipulation, 140 pounds sterling (3 pounds sterling to 278 pounds sterling) for exercise, and 125 pounds sterling (21 pounds sterling to 228 pounds sterling) for combined treatment. All three active treatments increased participants' average QALYs compared with best care alone. Each extra QALY that combined treatment yielded relative to best care cost 3800 pounds sterling; in economic terms it had an "incremental cost effectiveness ratio" of 3800 pounds sterling. Manipulation alone had a ratio of 8700 pounds sterling relative to combined treatment. If the NHS was prepared to pay at least 10,000 pounds sterling for each extra QALY (lower than previous recommendations in the United Kingdom), manipulation alone would probably be the best strategy. If manipulation was not available, exercise would have an incremental cost effectiveness ratio of 8300 pounds sterling relative to best care. CONCLUSIONS: Spinal manipulation is a cost effective addition to "best care" for back pain in general practice. Manipulation alone probably gives better value for money than manipulation followed by exercise. |

West J, Otte C, Geher K, Johnson J, Mohr DC. Effects of Hatha
yoga and African dance on perceived stress, affect, and salivary
cortisol. Ann Behav Med. 2004 Oct;28(2):114-8. Reed
College, USA. jeremy.west@stanford.edu BACKGROUND: Dance and yoga have been shown to produce improvements in psychological well-being. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to examine some of the psychological and neuroendocrine response to these activities. METHODS: Sixty-nine healthy college students participated in one of three 90-min classes: African dance (n = 21), Hatha yoga (n= 18), or a biology lecture as a control session (n = 30). Before and after each condition participants completed the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), completed the Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule, and provided a saliva sample for cortisol. RESULTS: There were significant reductions in PSS and negative affect (ps < .0001) and Time x Treatment interactions (ps < .0001) such that African dance and Hatha yoga showed significant declines, whereas there was no significant change in biology lecture. There was no significant main effect for positive affect (p = .53), however there was a significant interaction effect (p < .001) such that positive affect increased in African dance, decreased in biology lecture, and did not change significantly in Hatha yoga. There was a significant main effect for salivary cortisol (p < .05) and a significant interaction effect (p < .0001) such that cortisol increased in African dance, decreased in Hatha yoga, and did not change in biology. Changes in cortisol were not significantly related to changes in psychological variables across treatments. There was 1 significant interaction effect (p = .04) such that change in positive affect and change in cortisol were negatively correlated in Hatha yoga but positively correlated in Africa dance and biology. CONCLUSIONS: Both African dance and Hatha yoga reduced perceived stress and negative affect. Cortisol increased in African dance and decreased in Hatha yoga. Therefore, even when these interventions produce similar positive psychological effects, the effects may be very different on physiological stress processes. One factor that may have particular salience is that amount of physiological arousal produced by the intervention. |
