This condition interferes considerably in patients’ lives, leading to physical malfunction, psychological suffering, fatigue, social isolation, and job loss, resulting in a decrease in quality of life. Effective treatment remains a major challenge, highlighting the need for research to understand the complex underlying mechanisms. Recent studies have identified central neuroimmune activation and neuroinflammation as key contributors to the development of chronic pain, leading to central sensitization and reduced efficacy of opioid treatments. The number of clinical studies on the use of acupuncture for various types of pain has increased significantly in the last two decades showing a beneficial effect on pain relief and improving functional activities and psychological wellness. In our study, we decided to use a channel system and mathematical reasoning to resolve some chronic musculoskeletal pain. This method is grounded on an investigation of the historically described balancing systems, conducted by Schroeder et al. (2013) thus showing the extreme relevance of integrating psychoneuroimmunology and biopsychosocial details as necessary approaches to completely understand disease and illness. The results showed high efficiency and confirmed that the combination of more than two channels, somatotopic knowledge for the search for the right points on a balancing channel and the use of at least two types of needles helps preserve the balance of the treatment. More work should be done including studies in degenerative osteoarticular conditions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100197,"journal":{"name":"Brain Behavior and Immunity Integrative","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49731385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Complementary techniques can help open up new possibilities for improving mental health worldwide. The aim of this study is to analyse the current evidence on the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for mental health and to inform potential applications within western healthcare settings. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, Science Direct and Scielo databases to identify studies on TCM techniques for mental health. Meta-analyses on human subjects were included. Studies that examined mental health in other diseases were also included. Studies of low or moderate quality were excluded. Our literature search yielded 319 studies, 265 after removal of duplicates. After title and abstract screening, 40 studies were selected for retrieval. Full-text and quality assessment was performed on 38 studies, and 32 studies were included in the final analysis. The introduction of TCM into the health care system may have a positive impact on the treatment of certain mental illnesses and improve the quality of life of patients suffering from other diseases. TCM may also be useful for populations that do not have access to or receive conventional therapies. More studies are needed, and methodological quality needs to be improved. The protocol has been registered with the International Prospective Registry for Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO CRD42021276118).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100197,"journal":{"name":"Brain Behavior and Immunity Integrative","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49731383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty prisoners with personality disorders were recruited within a clinical unit of a high security prison and assigned to a mindfulness intervention (n=10), a yoga intervention (n=10), or a wait-list control group (n=10). Both mindfulness and yoga interventions were held simultaneously and lasted three hours per day on five consecutive days. At baseline and after the intervention, we measured inflammation-related gene expression through venous blood; attention with a cognitive task; event-related potentials (ERPs) with EEG; and stress, emotion regulation and mindfulness with questionnaires. Here we show that recruitment and dropout rates were satisfactory, and data collection was successful despite its length and complexity. The only exception were blood samples where 60% of participants refused to give blood, but this was expected because 47% of recruited participants had a diagnosis of paranoid personality disorder. Unexpected difficulties occurred when participants did not fully adhere to randomisation procedures, and a riot took place during the final day of the interventions. This study was underpowered to detect changes on primary or secondary outcome measures, but despite that 80% of examined inflammation-related genes showed medium and large effect sizes suggesting this as an important outcome measure in future studies. Minor adjustments to the study design are necessary before a larger scale study can be conducted to precisely determine the effects of mindfulness and yoga as an additional treatment for prisoners with personality disorders.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100197,"journal":{"name":"Brain Behavior and Immunity Integrative","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49708190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
