The current study aims to evaluate the effects of specialized Thai yoga facial massage (STYFM) on heart rate variability (HRV) as a physiological marker associated with autonomic regulation. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This two-arm randomized controlled trial was conducted at Khon Kaen University, Thailand, from January to February 2025. Thirty-two individuals with computer vision syndrome were randomly assigned to receive either a 4-week program of self-administered STYFM or eyes-closed seated rest under identical conditions without tactile or auditory stimulation. Each session lasted 10 to 15 min and took place 10 times per week. Physiological parameters, including HRV, heart rate (HR), and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO<sub>2</sub>), were assessed at the baseline, mid-intervention, and post-intervention. Data were analyzed using linear mixed models with Bonferroni correction. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The STYFM intervention significantly improved autonomic regulation compared to the control group. Participants in the STYFM group showed notable increases in HRV parameters, including the standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals (<i>p</i> < 0.001), root mean square of successive differences (<i>p</i> < 0.001), the percentage of successive RR intervals differing by more than 50 ms (<i>p</i> < 0.001), total power (<i>p</i> = 0.004), low-frequency power (LF, <i>p</i> = 0.049), and high-frequency power (HF, <i>p</i> < 0.001).

Additionally, the STYFM group demonstrated significantly higher peripheral oxygen saturation (<i>p</i> < 0.001) and reduced HR (<i>p</i> < 0.001), with no adverse events reported. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> This analysis suggests that STYFM significantly improved HRV, increased SpO2, and reduced HR, indicating enhanced parasympathetic modulation and improved autonomic regulation.

There are currently no reviews that investigate how all three of these modalities are used in TBI treatment. This review is meant to draw attention to how this research is done and potentially improve future research study design. <b><i>Inclusion Criteria:</i></b> Criteria for studies included in this review were developed according to the participants, concept, and context framework. Specifically, participants must have experienced a TBI, the TBI had to be treated with yoga, mindfulness, meditation, or some combination of the three, subjects could not exclusively have had acquired brain injury such as stroke or Alzheimer's disease, and the study must have been published in the English language. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsyArXiv, ProQuest, and LoveYourBrain were searched for articles that met our criteria. A total of 72 articles were extracted to address 15 variables. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The majority of studies used either a pre-post or exploratory study design with no more than 29 female Caucasian subjects in the age range of 45-54 years. Most subjects participated in the study one month since their mild to severe TBI. In order to treat TBI symptoms, most studies used mindfulness, with the treatment done in person. Sessions of treatment typically occurred on a weekly basis for 10-30 min over 7-8 weeks. Outcome measures used to determine efficacy of treatment were primarily quality of life, followed by cognitive function and depression. Most studies were conducted in the United States after 2010 in the journal <i>Brain Injury</i> with no type of funding. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Studies using YMM for treatment of TBI are typically done on a single type of population with a wide range of outcome variables and no control group.

Postoperative pain control is a challenge in knee arthroplasty. Despite existing evidence supporting the effectiveness of acupressure for pain management, limited research has directly compared the efficacy of body and auricular acupressure in reducing pain following knee arthroplasty. To address this knowledge gap, the present study aims to compare the effectiveness of these two acupressure techniques in alleviating pain severity among elderly individuals undergoing knee replacement surgery. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This three-group randomized clinical trial study was conducted on 141 elderly women undergoing knee arthroplasty surgery at Shafa Yahiaeian Hospital in Tehran in 2023. Patients were randomly assigned to three groups of 47. The patients of the body acupressure and auricular acupressure groups received intervention for 15 min, thrice a day at an interval of 4 h, for 3 days. Control group patients received only routine interventions. Visual analog scale (VAS) and McGill's Abbreviated Mental Test Scale were completed before the first intervention on the first day and immediately after the last intervention on the first, second, and third days. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The results revealed that the pain severity assessed using VAS and McGill's Abbreviated Mental Test Scale during all 3 days in the body and auricular acupressure groups had a more decreasing trend compared with the control group. Moreover, auricular acupressure was more effective than body acupressure in pain control. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Body acupressure and auricular acupressure as complementary interventions have significant potential in reducing pain after knee arthroplasty in the elderly female population. These methods offer an interesting treatment option by reducing the need for analgesics and thus reducing the side effects of these drugs.

This review was guided by the following research question: What is the most influential factor driving TCIM use? <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. International literature was systematically searched using PubMed, Embase, and manual searching of reference lists.

This insight provides a foundation for researchers, health practitioners, and policymakers to advance TCIM research, clinical practice, and policy by targeting its perceived benefits. Focusing on perceived benefits can help researchers prioritize areas that are most valued by patients, leading to more impactful studies and evidence-based recommendations for practice. Understanding perceived benefits can also lead to more informed discussions between patients and health practitioners, creating a more collaborative and culturally sensitive health care environment.

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two dosages of standardized forest therapy sessions on participant-reported outcomes in the general population. This study also explored whether these effects depended on a specific forest location. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In this randomized controlled multisite trial taking place in three different German forests, participants of the general population were assigned to either a two-session group (2SG) of forest therapy of 2 h each with a break-day in between or three consecutive sessions (3SG) of forest therapy of 2 h each. The primary outcome was the between-group difference of 2SG versus 3SG of forest therapy on Total Mood Disturbance (TMD) using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) at day 3, immediately postintervention. Secondary outcomes were vitality (SVS-G), self-efficacy (GSE), physical/mental health (PH/MH), anxiety (STAI), physical symptoms (BLR/BLR'), perceived stress (PSQ), and perceived benefits of nature (PBNQ). A subset of questionnaires was used before and after each session (POMS, STAI, SVS-G, and PSQ). Pre- and postintervention differences were computed for comparisons within each group and between them using <i>t</i> test statistics, while analysis of variance (ANOVA) tested for differences between forests. <b><i>Results:</i></b> One hundred and seventy-one participants (91 in 2SG and 80 in 3SG; 56.1 ± 14.5 years) were included in the intention-to-treat analysis. No significant group differences were found for the TMD (<i>p</i> = 0.99), although there was an overall improvement in both groups (TMD: within-group <i>p</i> < 0.001 for both, 2SG: <i>d</i> = 0.95, 3SG: <i>d</i> = 0.81). No significant group differences were found for any secondary outcomes, although significant improvements were seen within groups for most outcomes. The ANOVA revealed neither statistically significant interactions between the three forests nor statistically significant interactions between the factors \"group\" and \"location\" for TMD. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Participation in two versus three sessions of standardized forest therapy sessions with 2 h each may have similar beneficial effects on physical/mental health parameters in the general population. A low-dose approach may already achieve beneficial effects on mental health.
