摘要
目的和背景:牙科手术过程中的疼痛和焦虑可以通过有效的行为管理来巧妙地解决。目前的系统综述旨在评估双耳节拍(BB)如何有效地减少儿童和成人的牙痛和焦虑。方法:对数据库进行电子检索;作者独立地从综述中纳入的9项研究中提取数据。本综述中纳入的临床试验报告了在儿童和成人的牙科手术中使用BB减轻牙齿疼痛和焦虑的有效性。采用Cochrane偏倚风险工具评估偏倚风险。采用固定效应和随机效应模型进行meta分析。异质性用i2统计量量化。牙痛和焦虑评分(通过视觉模拟量表(VAS)/Venham’s picture test (VPT)测量)的减少被认为是主要结局。结果:共确定了580项与该主题相关的研究。排除了除牙科以外的其他程序的研究以及重复的研究,在对全文文章进行分析后,纳入了9项研究进行系统评价。总体而言,结果显示出较高的选择和检测偏倚风险。牙痛、焦虑评分与干预前后比较差异有统计学意义。与对照组比较,BB组的牙科焦虑(DA)评分显著降低,而对照组(无干预)的牙痛减轻结果不确定,阳性对照组的牙痛减轻结果显著降低。结论及临床意义:BB可减轻牙痛和焦虑。临床医生可能认为BB是治疗牙痛和焦虑的一种可行的非药物治疗方法。如何引用本文:Shukla AD, Subhadra HN, Unnikrishnan S等。双耳节拍减少儿童和成人牙痛和焦虑的有效性:系统回顾和荟萃分析。中华临床儿科杂志,2015;18(8):1023-1030。
Effectiveness of Binaural Beats in Reducing Dental Pain and Anxiety among Children and Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Aim and background: Pain and anxiety during dental procedures can be skillfully tackled using effective and efficient behavior management. The current systematic review aimed to assess how effectively binaural beats (BB) work to reduce dental pain and anxiety in children as well as adults.
Methods: An electronic search of the databases was conducted; authors independently extracted the data from nine studies included in the review. Clinical trials included in the review were the studies that reported the effectiveness of BB used during dental procedures for reducing dental pain and anxiety among children and adults. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used for evaluating the risk of bias. Meta-analyses were performed using the fixed and random effect models. Heterogeneity was quantified with I2 statistics. Reduction in the dental pain and anxiety scores [as measured by visual analog scale (VAS)/Venham's picture test (VPT)] was considered the chief outcome.
Results: A total of 580 studies related to the topic were identified. Studies carried out for procedures other than dental as well as duplicates were eliminated, and following analysis of full-text articles, nine studies were included for systematic review. Overall, the results showed high risk of selection and detection bias. Dental pain and anxiety scores showed significant difference when comparing pre- and postintervention values. When comparing BB with controls, there was significant reduction in dental anxiety (DA) scores, while dental pain reduction showed inconclusive results with control (no intervention) and significant reduction with positive control.
Conclusion and clinical significance: Dental pain and anxiety appear to be alleviated by BB. Clinicians may view BB as a viable nonpharmacological treatment for dental pain and anxiety.
