“…Most trials investigated manual therapy interventions ( n = 10, 59%) (Bialosky et al., 2014; Cerritelli et al., 2015; Chaibi et al., 2017; Hasuo et al., 2022; Hensel et al., 2015; Ince et al., 2023; Licciardone et al., 2010; Moraska et al., 2017; Ozgul et al., 2023; Paulo et al., 2021), followed by mindfulness and other relaxation interventions ( n = 3, 18%) (Amirova et al., 2017; Loose et al., 2021; Schmidt et al., 2011). One trial each investigated pain self‐management programmes (Allen et al., 2010), cognitive‐behavioural therapy (Ashar et al., 2022), exercises (Krauß et al., 2014) and Reiki (Sisman & Arslan, 2022).…”

“…Manual control interventions were also used five times; in the form of simulated manoeuvres (Bialosky et al., 2014; Chaibi et al., 2017; Hasuo et al., 2022; Ince et al., 2023), controlling mainly for spinal manipulation therapy, or soft touch application controlling for craniosacral therapy (Cerritelli et al., 2015). The remaining control interventions classed as ‘other’ included educational attention controls used in a pain self‐management trial (Allen et al., 2010), open‐label saline injection in a cognitive‐behavioural trial (Ashar et al., 2022), patient positioning on a treatment bench without further manipulation, used in a myofascial release study (Paulo et al., 2021) and simulated hands‐off Reiki (Sisman & Arslan, 2022). The three trials of relaxation or mindfulness interventions used white noise provision over headphones (Amirova et al., 2017), multicomponent therapist interaction with educational and social support components (Schmidt et al., 2011) and a modified floatation tank (Loose et al., 2021).…”

“…Participants were reported as supposed to be blinded to group allocation in nine control intervention arms (53%) (Amirova et al., 2017; Bialosky et al., 2014; Cerritelli et al., 2015; Chaibi et al., 2017; Ince et al., 2023; Loose et al., 2021; Moraska et al., 2017; Schmidt et al., 2011; Sisman & Arslan, 2022). Blinding was not an objective in five control intervention arms (29%) (Ashar et al., 2022; Hasuo et al., 2022; Krauß et al., 2014; Ozgul et al., 2023; Paulo et al., 2021), one of which only blinded participants to another active comparator, not the main investigational treatment (Krauß et al., 2014).…”

BackgroundThe magnitude of placebo effects from physical and psychological ‘sham’ is unknown but could impact efficacy trials and treatment understanding. To quantify placebo effects, this systematic review of three‐armed randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of physical and psychological interventions for pain compared outcomes in ‘sham’ control intervention and non‐exposure arms.MethodsRCTs with treatment, ‘sham’ control intervention, and non‐exposure groups were included, enrolling adults with any pain. A protocol was pre‐registered (PROSPERO: CRD42023413324), and twelve databases searched from 2008 to July 2023. Trial methods and blinding were analysed descriptively and risk of bias assessed. Meta‐analysis of pain measures at short‐, medium‐ and long‐term was performed with random‐effects models of standardised mean differences (SMD).Studies were sub‐grouped according to control intervention type.ResultsSeventeen RCTs were included. The average short‐term placebo effect was small (0.21 SMD, 0.1–0.33 95% CI, p = 0.0002, 1440 participants). It showed no heterogeneity (Tau2 = 0.1, I2 = 11%, p = 0.3), preventing meta‐regression analyses of effect modifiers. However, sub‐group analyses revealed larger placebo effects in manual control interventions compared to disabled devices and miscellaneous control interventions. Overall, placebo analgesia accounted for 39% of treatments’ short‐term effectiveness. No placebo effects were found at medium‐term (7 RCTs, 381 participants) or long‐term follow‐up (3 RCTs, 173 participants).ConclusionsThe observed placebo analgesia has mechanistic and methodological implications, though its clinical importance may be limited. Control intervention design affects placebo effects, highlighting the importance of considering methodology in RCT interpretation. Review limitations include a small number of long‐term studies and sample heterogeneity.SignificanceThis systematic review directly quantifies placebo effects from physical and psychological ‘sham’ control interventions and compares them to treatments’ overall effectiveness. By doing so, the review enhances our understanding of placebo effects, their relative contribution in clinical trials, and their susceptibly to trial design. It poses further questions regarding the influence of blinding, participant expectations, and features of the therapeutic context. Overall, the insights provided by this review carry methodological significance and are important for the interpretation and synthesis of efficacy trials in this field.

“…A preliminary study conducted among 65 patients awaiting cardiac surgery provided promising results regarding the reliability of the scale (Cronbach's a coefficient for the full scale was 0.93, for short-term aspects of surgery was 0.91, and for long-term surgery aspects was 0.90). The SFQ questionnaire has been used in studies conducted in the Netherlands [28,29], Greece [34], Portugal [35,36], Turkey [21,23,33,[37][38][39][40][41][42][43], Croatia [44], Norway [45], Germany [31], Italy [46], Czech Republic [30], China [32], United States [47,48], Ireland [49], and Hungary [50][51][52].

The current literature indicates that routine evaluation of preoperative anxiety, its determinants, and patient-specific concerns is universally advocated. This aligns with the increasingly acknowledged importance of prehabilitation – a comprehensive process preparing patients for surgery. A crucial component of prehabilitation is assessing patients’ mental health. Recommendations for psychological evaluations in prehabilitation encompass, inter alia, determining the severity of anxiety. This work builds on a 2019 article, which presented scales for preoperative anxiety assessment: the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS), and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). This article extends the possibilities of preoperative anxiety assessment by introducing four additional methods: the Surgical Fear Questionnaire (SFQ), the Anxiety Specific to Surgery Questionnaire (ASSQ), the Surgical Anxiety Questionnaire (SAQ), and Anesthesia- and Surgery-dependent Preoperative Anxiety (ASPA). The authors provide comprehensive details on these instruments, including scoring, interpretation, availability, and usefulness both in scientific research and clinical practice. The authors also provide the data on the availability of Polish versions of the presented methods and preliminary data on the reliability of SFQ in patients awaiting cardiac surgery. This review seems relevant for professionals in multiple disciplines, including anesthesiology, surgery, clinical psychology, nursing, primary care and notably prehabilitation. It emphasizes the necessity of individualizing anxiety assessment and acknowledging patient subjectivity, which the presented methods facilitate through a thorough evaluation of specific patient concerns. The literature review also identifies concerns and future research avenues in this area. The importance of qualitative studies and those evaluating prehabilitation intervention is emphasized.

“…Berdasarkan mekanisme kerja dan efek positifnya, kompres hangat telah terbukti memberikan beberapa manfaat yang signifikan dalam mengatasi nyeri perut. Dengan merangsang relaksasi otot, meningkatkan sirkulasi darah, dan memberikan kenyamanan psikologis, terapi ini memberikan alternatif atau pelengkap yang layak dalam pengelolaan nyeri, terutama dalam kasus ketegangan otot, kram, atau gangguan pencernaan (Şişman & Arslan, 2023). Meskipun demikian, penting untuk diingat bahwa terapi kompres hangat sebaiknya digunakan sesuai dengan kondisi klinis pasien dan diawasi oleh profesional medis.…”

Warm compress therapy on the abdominal wall has been known as a practical approach to overcoming pain problems. Through increasing local temperature, this therapy can relieve muscle tension, improve blood circulation, and provide pain relief. Qualitative research with a descriptive case study approach. The subjects of this case study used 2 clients with the same diagnosis, the same problem, and the same application of intervention. The results found that the pain felt in both patients, Mrs. R and Mrs. W experienced a significant decrease daily. On day I, Mrs. R, the pain experienced on a scale of 5 and decreased; on day 3, the pain was no longer felt. While Mrs. W on the day I, the pain experienced with skal 4. After compressing warm water on the dining abdomen, the pain felt every day was reduced and disappeared or did not feel pain on day 3 after the implementation. The conclusion of applying warm compress therapy is that this method gives patients greater control in managing their abdominal pain. With a deep understanding of the effectiveness of warm compress therapy, it can be a valuable element in a holistic pain management strategy.
