“…In summary, the small sample sizes in combination with the heterogeneity of the studied populations with CP and the wide age range, limit the interpretation and generalizability of the findings. These challenges are also reported in other studies looking at the adaptability of CBT‐based interventions for individuals with neurological disorders 45 . Thus, to reduce possible gaps, future studies should aim at including larger samples from different backgrounds and age range to inform clinical practice.…”

“…As in many intervention studies involving individuals with CP [43][44][45] or other clinical populations, 45 most of the samples in the current review were relatively small (n ≤ 12). In addition, the heterogeneity of the population with CP is high, contributing to the limited generalizability of the findings.…”

Aim To synthesize the evidence about the main intervention characteristics of cognitive behavioral therapies (CBTs) for individuals with cerebral palsy and identify barriers and facilitators to their success, focusing on aspects of feasibility and markers of success. Method A scoping review methodology informed a literature search for papers published between 1991 and 2021. Articles were screened, reviewed, and categorized using the DistillerSR systematic review software, and critically appraised for quantitative and/or qualitative criteria. Results Out of 1265 publications identified, 14 met the inclusion criteria. Elements associated with the specific study participant characteristics (46% female; aged 6–65 years), type of CBT techniques used (third‐wave [n = 6], cognitive [n = 3], cognitive and behavioral [n = 2], biofeedback training [n = 2]), and features of the study context and methodological quality (two randomized clinical trials and small sample sizes [n ≤ 12]), were identified. Most studies had psychological targets of intervention (n = 10) and secondary physiological (n = 3) or social (n = 2) objectives. Feasibility indicators were described in nearly one‐third of the papers. Interpretation This study highlights the high flexibility within CBT interventions, enabling their adaptation for individuals with cerebral palsy. However, relatively little, and only low‐certainty evidence was identified. More high‐quality research in terms of specific CBT techniques, optimal treatment doses, and detailed population characteristics are needed.

“…Literature search strategies using subject headings and text words related to psychological interventions for individuals with EDS and/or HSD were developed from two systematic reviews [39,40], as well as the search strategy used by our research team on psychological interventions for adults with cerebral palsy, childhood-onset acquired brain injury, and spina bifida [41]. A sample search strategy from CINAHL can be found in Additional file 1.…”

Purpose To identify the nature and extent of the evidence on psychological interventions among individuals with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD). Materials and methods Eligible studies reported on psychological interventions for individuals of all ages with EDS and/or HSD. All studies published in English were included, with no restrictions to publication year or status. MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, and PsycINFO were searched. Two reviewers independently screened studies and abstracted data. Results This scoping review included 10 studies reporting on EDS, HSD, or both. Only cohort studies and case studies were identified. Four studies investigated Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), one investigated Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), two investigated psychoeducation, two investigated Intensive Interdisciplinary Pain Treatment (IIPT), and one investigated Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). Interventions targeted pain management, self-destructive behaviours, and related psychological issues (e.g., depression/anxiety). Sample sizes were small (n < 50) for most studies and interventions were generally poorly described. Conclusions There is a critical need for high-quality research surrounding psychological interventions for individuals with EDS/HSD. Psychological interventions for these individuals are understudied and existing studies lack validity. Researchers should investigate psychological interventions for individuals with all types of EDS/HSD with high-quality studies to validate findings from the existing studies.

“…Therefore, feasibility studies should be conducted prior to large-scale intervention studies. Of course, multiple research teams have successfully conducted intervention studies with individuals with TBI or ABI (e.g., [19,20], but potential barriers to participant recruitment and retention must be evaluated prior to conducting large-scale work when new protocols are used.…”

Background: To date, no one has prospectively evaluated yoga intervention-induced changes in brain structure or function in adults with acquired brain injuries (ABI). Thus, this study was conducted to test the feasibility of acquiring neuroimaging data from adults with ABI before and after a yoga intervention. Methods: This was a single-arm intervention feasibility study that included 12 adults with chronic (i.e., greater than 6 months post-injury) ABI and self-reported limitations in balance. Neuroimaging data were acquired before and after yoga. The yoga intervention was completed once per week for eight weeks. Feasibility objectives and benchmarks were established a priori. Results: Most feasibility objectives and benchmarks were achieved. The goal of recruiting 12 participants was successfully achieved, and 75% of participants were retained throughout the study (goal of 80%). All imaging feasibility benchmarks were met; rs-fMRI and fNIRS data were acquired safely, data were of acceptable quality, and data pre-processing procedures were successful. Additionally, improvements were detected in balance after yoga, as group-level balance was significantly better post-yoga compared to pre-yoga, p = 0.043. Conclusions: These findings indicate it is feasible to acquire neuroimaging data from adults with ABI before and after a yoga intervention. Thus, future prospective studies are warranted.
