“…However, minor modes showed signi®cantly lower intensity than wheelchair basketball. In able-bodied persons, it has been well known that vigorous physical activity is suitable to gain psychological bene®ts, 6,22 which is not consistent with the ®ndings of the present study. This suggests that the psychological bene®ts of minor modes was compensated by their higher frequency and longer duration.…”

“…28 In a lot of studies using able-bodied persons, these instruments have been often used to assess the psychological pro®les of athletes and nonathletes and the changes by physical activity. 15,22,24 The SDS is widely used as a self-report measure of severity of depression, and consists of 20 items; 10 worded positively and 10 negatively. The individual responds to each item on a 4 point scale (1=a little of the time to 4=most of the time).…”

Objective: To examine whether the psychological bene®ts of sports activity di er between tetraplegics and paraplegics with spinal cord injury, and investigate the e ect of frequency and modes of sports activity on the psychological bene®ts. Methods: The Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Pro®les of Mood States (POMS) were administered to 169 male individuals with spinal cord injury (mean age=42.7 years) including 53 tetraplegics and 116 paraplegics. The subjects were divided into four groups according to their frequencies of sports activity; High-active (more than three times a week; n=32), Middle-active (once or twice a week, n=41), Low-active (once to three times a month, n=32), and Inactive (no sports participation, n=64). Results: Analysis of variance revealed signi®cant di erences in depression for SDS, trait anxiety for STAI and depression and vigor for POMS among the groups. High-active group showed the lowest scores of depression and trait anxiety and the highest score of vigor among the four groups. In contrast, no signi®cant di erence was found for any psychological measurements between tetraplegics and paraplegics. In addition, there was no signi®cant di erence for any psychological measurements among modes (wheelchair basketball, wheelchair racing, wheelchair tennis and minor modes). Conclusions: These ®ndings demonstrated that sports activity can improve the psychological status, irrespective of tetraplegics and paraplegics, and that the psychological bene®ts are emphasized by sports activity at high frequency.

“…8,11 In addition, recent studies incorporating functional magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography, and evoked potentials have shown that meditation may result in group with regard to the cognitive and psychosocial components of the MFIS (P = .037, P = .032) (Figure 1). For PN patients, a slight trend toward improvement of the motor and sensory portions of the NIS was seen (mean reduction of −0.29 and −1.5 on the NIS-M and NIS-S, respectively), but the difference did not reach statistical significance (P = .66, P = .20).…”

The objective of this study was to determine whether meditation affects pain and quality of life in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and peripheral neuropathy (PN). A total of 22 patients (10 with MS, 12 with PN) participated in a weekly meditation class over a 2-month period. A total of 18 controls (7 with MS, 11 with PN) received standard care. Primary outcome assessments were based on the 36-item Short Form Health Status Survey (SF-36) and a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain at baseline and at 2 months. Secondary outcome measures included the Neuropathy Impairment Score (NIS) for PN patients and the Patient-Determined Disease Steps (PDDS) questionnaire and 5-item Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS-5) for MS patients. After 2 months, study participants who practiced meditation reported an improvement in pain on the VAS (P = .035 combined group), summed physical health scores on the SF-36 (P = .011 MS, P = .014 PN), summed mental health scores (P = .02 combined group), vitality (P = .005 combined group), and physical role (P = .003 combined group). A significant improvement was also observed for bodily pain (P = .031) in MS patients. In contrast, no significant differences before and after the intervention were observed for controls. Regarding the secondary measure of fatigue, improved scores for the cognitive and psychosocial components of the MFIS were noted in MS patients in the intervention group (P = .037, P = .032). No statistically significant changes were observed in the NIS for PN patients or in PDDS scores for MS patients. Meditation may be helpful in reducing pain and improving quality of life in patients with MS and PN. The lack of changes seen in mobility (MS) and sensorimotor deficits (PN) suggests that meditation may not affect the overall clinical course.
