Efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety and depression in Parkinson's disease patients: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis.

Parkinson's disease (PD) patients often experience non-motor symptoms like depression and anxiety, significantly impacting their quality of life. With the limited effectiveness of pharmacological treatments, effective non-pharmacological interventions are needed. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in reducing depression and anxiety symptoms in PD patients. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) exploring CBT's effectiveness for depression and anxiety in PD patients were included. Studies published until April 2023 were identified from PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. Methodological quality was assessed using the Risk of Bias-2 (ROB-2) tool. Statistical analysis involved calculating the standardized mean difference (SMD) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using Review Manager 5.4.1. The systematic review included 12 studies involving 241 PD patients. CBT led to a substantial reduction in anxiety (SMD -0.95, 95% CI [-1.15 to -0.74], P < 0.00001) and depression (SMD -1.02, 95% CI [-1.39 to -0.65], P < 0.0001). Both traditional CBT and tele-CBT (administered over the phone or internet) were effective in treating depression and anxiety. Traditional CBT improved depression (SMD -1.16, 95% CI [-1.83 to -0.49], P < 0.00001), while tele-CBT showed comparable results (SMD -0.90, 95% CI [-1.31 to -0.48], P < 0.00001). For anxiety, both traditional CBT (SMD -0.94, 95% CI [-1.25 to -0.63], P < 0.00001) and tele-CBT (SMD -0.95, 95% CI [-1.22 to -0.67], P < 0.00001) significantly reduced symptoms. In conclusion, this systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated the efficacy of CBT in reducing depression and anxiety in PD patients. Healthcare providers are encouraged to integrate CBT into their treatment protocols. However, additional high-quality studies with longer-term follow-up assessments are needed to further enhance understanding in this area. CRD42023424758.

Inflammatory markers changes following acceptance-based behavioral psychotherapy in generalized anxiety disorder patients: Evidence from a randomized controlled trial

IntroductionGeneralized anxiety disorder (GAD) has been associated with elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and proinflammatory cytokines. Despite robust evidence as an effective treatment for GAD, research on the effects of cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) in the inflammatory profile of patients with clinical anxiety has presented mixed results. ObjectiveThe present study aimed to investigate the effect of an acceptance-based behavior therapy (ABBT) on inflammatory biomarkers and their association with anxiety levels in GAD patients in comparison to supportive therapy as an active control. MethodsPeripheral inflammatory biomarkers (CRP, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α) were measured in 77 GAD patients who participated in a 14-week 10-session randomized clinical trial of group ABBT (experimental, n = 37) or supportive group therapy (ST: active control group, n = 40). ResultsThe concentrations of IL-1β decreased in the control group and the concentrations of IL-6 increased in the experimental group from baseline to post-treatment, whereas no difference was identified in IL-4, IL-10, TNF, or CRP. Although anxiety and depression levels decreased in both treatment conditions, no correlation with inflammation markers was found for most clinical and biological variables. A negative correlation between changes in IL-6 and IL-10 and anxiety symptom score changes was identified. ConclusionsThe present study results found that a short trial of acceptance-based behavior therapy did not change the proinflammatory profile which may be associated with GAD. Additional research is needed to evaluate the influence of other inflammation-related variables, longer periods of follow-up as well as the effect of supportive therapy on peripheral inflammatory biomarkers in GAD patients.

Comparing the Effect of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (TDCS) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy on Substance Craving Control and Rumination in Methamphetamine-Dependent Patients

Objective: The aim of the current study was to compare the effect of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (TDCS) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy on substance craving control and rumination in methamphetamine-dependent patients. Methods and Materials: The present study, in terms of its objective, was applied research, utilizing a pre-test post-test design within a quasi-experimental research framework. The statistical population included all male patients dependent on methamphetamine who visited the Gam Addiction Treatment Clinic in Ghaemshahr city in the year 2020, from whom 45 individuals were selected through convenience sampling and randomly divided into three groups of 15 (two experimental and one control group). Participants in all three groups responded to the Drug Desire Questionnaire (DDQ) (2002) and the Hocksmann-Nolen Marw Rumination Questionnaire (1991) in three stages: pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. For the first experimental group, Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (TDCS) was applied with a maximum current intensity of 2 milliamperes, and for the second experimental group, twelve sessions of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy were conducted based on the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy protocol (Bayling, McCabe, Antony, 2011), while the control group received no treatment. Data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software. Findings: The results showed that both treatments were effective. However, the effectiveness of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (TDCS) on craving control and the effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy on rumination were greater. Conclusion: Both treatments can be used to reduce psychological problems in methamphetamine-dependent patients.

Do patients in neurosurgical wards benefit from psychotherapy? A brief discussion on the application of cognitive-behavioural therapy in patients treated for spinal conditions

The present article reviews the existing literature on the application and effectiveness of cognitive-behavioural therapy in a group of patients with spine problems. It encompasses publications describing the use of cognitive-behavioural therapy in the treatment of patients with back pain and spinal cord injuries of various aetiologies, as well as those experiencing disabilities and difficulties in social and emotional functioning. The findings confirm that cognitive-behavioural interventions are effective in reducing the intensity of pain, improving mobility, reducing the duration of professional inactivity, facilitating adaptation to disability, and enhancing overall life satisfaction. They also support the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions in addressing depressive and anxiety disorders among these patients. It appears that both the traditional and newer approaches of cognitive-behavioural therapy offer potential in patients with spine issues and their families and caregivers. However, due to the insufficient number of randomised and controlled studies, high heterogeneity among study groups, and diversity of research protocols, it is not possible to definitive formulate final conclusions or recommendations at this stage. Nevertheless, the literature findings herein support further exploration of cognitive-behavioural therapy among patients experiencing spine problems.

Effects of cognitive-behavioral therapy on core aspects of anxiety in anxious youth with autism

BackgroundAnxiety disorders (ADs) are common in youth with autism and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) may be less efficacious than among anxious youth without autism. Yet, little is known about which aspects of anxiety are targeted less effectively by CBT in youth with autism. MethodWe pooled youth with autism and ADs randomized to CBT or a control condition from five randomized controlled trials (RCTs; CBT, n = 197, Mage = 10.30 [2.05], age range: 7–16; control conditions, n = 83; Mage = 10.57 [2.30], age range: 7–16) and examined whether CBT outperformed control conditions across core aspects of anxiety and whether more pronounced autism traits predicted outcomes. CBT response in youth with autism was also compared to CBT response among anxious youth without autism (n = 129; Mage = 11.16 [2.80], age range: 7–17). ResultsCBT for youth with autism yielded significantly better effects than control conditions for frequency of symptoms, intensity of anxiety, avoidance, family interference, and social interference but not for physical symptoms of anxiety. Youth with more pronounced autism traits had poorer outcomes for frequency of symptoms, family interference, and social interference. Compared to anxious youth without autism, youth with autism had poorer outcomes for physical symptoms and family interference. ConclusionsCBT is efficacious across core aspects of anxiety for youth with autism, but outcomes for anxiety-related interference, particularly for those with more pronounced autism traits, may be poorer than among youth without autism. More work is needed to better understand how anxiety impacts the everyday lives of anxious youth with autism and which interventions and support are needed.

A comparison between the Effectiveness of Cognitive-behavioral Therapy and a Combination of Cognitive-behavioral Therapy and Medication in Patients With Improved Panic Attacks from the Covid-19

Background and Objective: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used as one of the main treatments for panic disorder, yet fewer people with panic disorder receive medication-based treatment. The present study aimed to determine the difference between the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy and a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and medication in patients with panic attacks who have recovered from Covid-19 in Ramsar, Iran. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted based on a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included patients who were referred to hospitals and medical centers in Ramsar in 2022. A total of 30 cases were randomly selected using the Albanian Panic and Phobia Questionnaire and structural clinical interview. One group received 12 sessions of CBT, one group received a combination of medication and CBT, and the other group received no training. The obtained data were analyzed using the statistical methods of univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance. Results: The significant difference in the post-test between the CBT and the control group (P&lt;0.001) in the variable of the combination of CBT and medication with the control group, there is a significant difference in the post-test (P&lt;0.001). The results of the post hoc test demonstrated that the effectiveness of the combination of CBT and medication was significantly higher than that of the CBT and the control group (P&lt;0.001(. Conclusion: As evidenced by the results of this study, combined CBT and medication in the short term effectively improved and reduced panic symptoms of patients with panic disorder.

Effectiveness of Cognitive-behavioral Therapy on the Positive and Negative Psychotic Symptoms and Emotion Regulation of Patients With Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders

Objective Schizophrenia is the most debilitating psychiatric disorder with the highest psychiatric ward admission rate. Drug therapy is the first line of treatment. However, it does not result in appropriate therapeutic responses in many patients, and they experience emotional regulation difficulties and psychosis symptoms after initial symptom resolution. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is currently an adjuvant treatment besides drug therapy to target the persistent symptoms of psychosis. The present study aims to determine the effectiveness of CBT on the positive and negative symptoms and emotional regulation of those suffering from schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Materials &amp; Methods The research design was single-subject and of the AB type (baseline and intervention) with a follow-up phase. Besides the routine therapy sessions, CBT sessions were held for the study participants. They were patients admitted to Razi Educational and Therapeutic and Research Psychiatric Center in Tehran City, Iran, who were selected based on the inclusion criteria. Thirty patients were selected with convenience sampling, and 5 were randomly placed in the CBT group. They were evaluated with the scales of positive and negative symptoms of Kay, Fiszbein, and Opler (1986) and difficulties in emotional regulation by Gratz and Roemer (2004) in the baseline, intervention, and follow-up phases. The treatment sessions were planned based on the CBT protocol developed by Laura Smith, Paula Nathan, Uta juniper, Patrick Kingsep, and Louella Lim (2003). Non-overlap of all pairs (NAP), percentage of non-overlapping data (PND), percentage of all non-overlapping data (PAND), percentage of data points exceeding the median (PEM), Cohen’s d effect size, and improvement percentages were used to analyze the data, and visual graphs were used for data presentation. Results The outcomes showed that in the intervention phase, compared to the baseline phase, the effect sizes of the positive and negative symptoms in the first to fifth participants were 1.6, 3.1, 3.2, 1.9, and 2.4, respectively. Only the effect sizes of the second and third participants were large. The effect sizes of the emotional regulation factor in the first to fifth participants were 2.8, 1.2, 1.1, 2.2, and 1.9, respectively. The effect size of the second participant was large, and the rest were average. The findings of this study showed that during the post-therapy and follow-up stages, while patients who had received CBT still experienced positive and negative symptoms of psychosis and difficulties in emotional regulation; these symptoms decreased in comparison with the baseline phase. Furthermore, their improvement percentages were not significant. Conclusion Data analysis showed that although CBT is effective in reducing positive and negative psychotic symptoms and improving the emotional regulation of patients, the data obtained from Cohen’s d effect size and recovery indices showed that the results are not clinically significant. In other words, although the patients who received CBT showed a slight improvement in psychotic symptoms and difficulty in emotional regulation, they could not maintain the therapeutic gains in the follow-up phase.

The Effect of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on Impulsivity in Addictive Disorders: a Narrative Review.

Impulsivity is considered an important construct in the cycle of addiction, yet the effect of evidence-based treatments on impulsivity is unclear. The goal of this paper was to review the evidence regarding the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), one of the most studied psychotherapies for addiction, on measures of impulsivity in addictive disorders. There is a robust literature implicating impulsivity as risk factor for development of a range of addictions and poorer treatment outcomes. However, this review identified only four randomized controlled trials evaluating CBT for an addictive behavior that included repeated assessment of impulsivity. All four were studies targeting substance use. There is limited evidence that CBT has a direct effect on change in measures of impulsivity among individuals being treated for substance use. Future clinical trials should include repeated measurement of impulsivity to examine CBT's effect on the underlying characteristics of addiction.
