Animal-assisted therapy with farm animals (AATF), a branch of Green Care, involves engaging individuals with farm animals in natural settings to promote healing.

Low-level laser therapy auriculotherapy (LLLT-AT) is emerging as a promising noninvasive approach for MSP management. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effects of LLLT-AT on MSP patients. <b><i>Method:</i></b> A comprehensive electronic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, ScienceDirect, PEDro, and Google Scholar (updated on May 3, 2025) identified randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing LLLT-AT with sham, no intervention, or other therapies. Pain intensity was the primary outcome, and disability and pain pressure threshold were secondary. Methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale. The risk of bias among the included RCTs was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 (RoB 2) tool, and the meta-analysis was performed using the mean difference (MD) or standardized mean difference (SMD), as appropriate. The Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation framework guided evidence certainty. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Five RCTs were included, with a mean PEDro score of 7 (standard deviation [SD] 0.7). According to Domain 6 of the RoB 2 tool, 80% of trials demonstrated a low overall risk of bias, with evaluators blinding being the primary concern. LLLT-AT significantly reduced pain intensity post-treatment compared with placebo (SMD = 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.40-2.30; <i>p</i> < 0.01) and no treatment (SMD = 1.12; 95% CI: 0.00-2.20; <i>p</i> < 0.01), reflecting a large effect size. An increase in the pressure pain threshold was also observed (MD = 0.64; 95% CI: 0.00-1.30; <i>p</i> < 0.01), although this result was limited by small sample sizes. However, the certainty of the evidence was judged as very low-deemed critical for pain intensity outcomes and not important for pressure pain threshold. No adverse events were reported. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> LLLT-AT shows potential for effectively managing MSP, reducing pain intensity, and improving pressure pain threshold.

A total of 150 qualitative interviews with 135 participants present at psychedelic-assisted therapy retreats and 15 at biofield settings were conducted.

Although yoga has shown promise as a supportive intervention for CRF and QOL, existing research has largely centered on NHW populations. This study seeks to evaluate the impact of yoga on CRF and QOL among racially and ethnically diverse survivors and compare outcomes with NHW survivors. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This study used data from two randomized controlled trials (RCTs; <i>n</i> = 1,153) examining a 4-week Yoga for Cancer Survivors (YOCAS) intervention designed to address insomnia in survivors. YOCAS integrates elements of gentle Hatha and Restorative Yoga, featuring breathing techniques, mindful movement, and posture alignment, for 150 min each week for 4 weeks. Survivors were eligible if they (1) were age 21+, (2) were randomized to YOCAS^©®, (3) identified as Hispanic or a non-Hispanic person of color, and (4) provided evaluable data on the Functional Assessment for Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue and Functional Assessment for Cancer Therapy-General at pre- and postintervention. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Forty-nine participants were eligible (mean age = 53; 96% female; 79% stage 0-II cancer; 74% breast cancer).

Specifically, it aimed to assess evidence-based modalities such as acupuncture, biofeedback, hypnosis, massage therapy, meditation, guided imagery, Tai Chi/Qi Gong, and yoga, which are part of the Veterans Administration's (VA) Whole Health program. The goal was to determine their effectiveness in military service members and understand their utilization in the MHS, as well as explore CIH research in the MHS to identify gaps. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, and Ovid All EBM Reviews databases was conducted for studies published from January 1, 2014 to March 22, 2024. The search focused on CIH therapies related to pain management in military populations, yielding 433 studies. After screening for eligibility, 53 studies were included for detailed review. Studies included randomized controlled trials, case studies, large database analyses, and retrospective chart reviews. Exclusion criteria eliminated nonpeer-reviewed articles, not pain-related, not related to one of the prespecified CIH modalities (acupuncture, biofeedback, hypnosis, massage therapy, meditation, guided imagery, Tai Chi/Qi Gong, and yoga), and those not specific to the MHS. The review did not address bias due to the heterogeneity of study designs included. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The review identified significant evidence supporting the use of CIH modalities for pain management. Acupuncture, particularly Battlefield Acupuncture, showed immediate reduction in pain score for both acute and chronic pain. Studies of massage therapy and biofeedback demonstrated efficacy/effectiveness in reducing pain and improving functional outcomes in various musculoskeletal and stress-related disorders. Meditation and yoga were shown to be effective for chronic pain, stress management, and enhancing overall well-being. Utilization data indicated a steady increase in CIH therapy use across military facilities. <b><i>Discussion:</i></b> CIH therapies, particularly acupuncture, massage therapy, and yoga, appear to be effective nonpharmacologic interventions for pain management in military populations. Their growing utilization reflects the recognition of their benefits in managing chronic pain and improving quality of life among service members.

To date, however, there is little consensus on which domains should be included in WPH, and WPH as an outcome is often conflated with WPH determinants (i.e., whole-person care). We conducted a scoping review of conceptual domains and existing WPH measurement instruments. <b><i>Eligibility Criteria:</i></b> Peer-reviewed articles and gray literature published from January 2014 to December 2023 that included a theoretical model or empirical measure of self-reported \"whole person health\" were reviewed. Theoretical/conceptual sources and empirical studies with observational or intervention study designs, including adults 18 or older, were eligible for inclusion.

Two research team members screened articles and extracted study characteristics. Results describe WPH conceptual domains, published self-report measures, and their psychometric properties. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Our search identified 1143 unique sources, with 29 deemed eligible for review.

Our search identified six WPH measures. All six WPH measures included assessments of the biological/physical, behavioral/mental, social, and spiritual domains, and all the conceptual WPH domains were assessed by at least one self-report measure. The self-report measures had a stronger emphasis on the assessment of spirituality and individual domains relative to the conceptual models and were less likely to include assessments of environmental and socioeconomic domains. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> The results of this scoping review provide a greater understanding of the domains involved in WPH as a multidimensional construct.
