“…Bai et al 14 reported that ST can benefit pain relief and improve lumbar spine function among patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). de Moraes Silva et al 15 identified that BT may result in a moderate improvement in pain, QoL, and skin pigmentation changes for patients with chronic venous insufficiency, and it had no clear effect on disease severity, signs, and symptom scores, adverse effects, leg ulcers, and edema when compared with no treatment. Liang et al 16 reported that aquatic exercise benefited patients with ankylosing spondylitis by reducing disease activity and alleviating pain, but did not improve functional capacity or spinal mobility.…”

Background: The objectives of this review were to summarize systematic reviews with meta-analysis of balneotherapy (BT) and spa therapy (ST) based on randomized controlled trials, and to provide a perspective for future research. Methods: Eligible studies were systematic reviews based on randomized controlled trials with meta-analysis that included at least one group treated with BT or ST. We searched the following databases for articles published in English from the year 2000 to 20 November 2019: Cochrane Database Systematic Review, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Ichushi-Web. Results: Eighteen studies met all inclusion criteria. Based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-11, among these 18 studies, 8 (44%) were about "#15 Diseases of the musculoskeletal system or connective tissue", 5 (28%) were about "#21 Symptoms, signs or clinical findings, not elsewhere classified", 4 (22%) were about "#11 Diseases of the circulatory system", and 1 study (6%) was about "#8 Diseases of the nervous system". Both BT and ST provided significant pain relief and improved quality of life in chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissues. Additionally, BT and ST with exercise under water improved physical fitness and function in patients across diseases. Conclusion: Researchers need to conduct studies on the treatment of many kinds of potential diseases using the keywords of pain relief and QoL. In addition, depending on patients' symptoms, physical fitness, and disabilities, performing exercise under water may improve treatment effects on physical function and fitness.

“…18 Several SRs with metaanalysis reported that these interventions may have a painrelief effect and improve the quality of life in patients. [18][19][20][21][22] Passive heating such as hot water bathing may benefit people with DM and those with poor glycemic control. This well-known viewpoint was reported by Hooper two decades ago.…”

“…45 Moreover, the combination of exercise and HWB had a significant effect on pain relief and quality of life for patients with bone and joint diseases, especially those who were middle-aged and elderly. [18][19][20][21][22] We expect that a combination of home-based exercise and HWB in T2DM patients is required to meet the crucial demand for a new lifestyle during and after COVID-19 self-isolation or quarantine.…”

Purpose To clarify the relationship between daily hot water bathing (HWB) at home and glycemic control in middle-aged and elderly ambulatory patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods We defined hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) as the main outcome. We set 7.0% based on the mean value of the dependent variable as the cut-off point for analysis. Frequency of HWB was an explanatory variable. A two-sample t -test was used to compare between groups with continuous variables. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed for frequency, adjusted age, sex, BMI, T2DM duration (Model 1), and other confounding factors (Model 2). Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated. Results Among 838 patients, there was a significant difference (p<0.001) in age between males (n=528, 62.8±8.7 years) and females (n=310, 65.0±8.1 years). In Model 1, compared with participants who used HWB more than seven times a week, those with poorly controlled HbA1c were significantly associated with low frequency of HWB: four to six times a week (OR 1.32, 95% CI 0.87–1.99) and less than three times a week (OR 1.43, 95% CI 0.98–2.10); p-value for overall trend was 0.041. In Model 2, p-value for overall trend was 0.138. Conclusion A higher frequency of HWB was moderately associated with a decreased risk of poor glycemic control in middle-aged and elderly ambulatory patients with T2DM.

“…Several trials have shown that balneotherapy programmes relieve musculoskeletal pain [1,2]. Some trials have shown benefits on related rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis symptoms, as well as on venous and arterial insufficiency [3][4][5]. In addition, beyond management of the primary illness taken care of, the analysis is made of the benefits of the thermal environment regarding dimensions such as autonomy and quality of life [6].…”

Background Analysis of the health profile of participants aged over 65 has been initiated in balneotherapy. Aims To determine the benefits of a 3-week outpatient balneotherapy program on patient-reported outcomes. Methods Our sample consisted of 1471 people. The average age of the study population was 72.5 years (± 5.1) and 67% of the participants were females. Symptoms intensity was measured by visual analogue scale, and health-related quality of life (HRQL) with the EQ5D questionnaire before and after the program. Changes of perceived functional status were rated using a 3-point Likert scale. ResultsThe results indicated a significant increase in the fear of falling and a decrease in fatigue. EQ5D reveals a significant improvement after the program. The perceived change scores remained stable, except for anxiety/depression. Conclusions The study indicated significant improvements of HRQL and a decrease of perception of fatigue and anxiety in elderly people participants in a 3-week balneological programme.
