▪ Pain | | | |
□ VAS (100 mm) | Tension-type headache | Statistically significant improvement in pain intensity | Hanten14 |
□ Paediatric Pain Profile (recorded by parents or care givers) | Children with cerebral palsy | No statistically significant differences on parental assessment of child's pain | Wyatt18 |
▪ QoL of Patients or Caregivers and General Health | | | |
□ CHQ (recorded by parents/caregivers) | Children with cerebral palsy | Statistically significant differences in 1 out of 4 subscales at 10 wk, no statistically significant differences at 6 mo | Wyatt18 |
□ SF-36 (assessment of main care giver's QoL) | Children with cerebral palsy | Statistically significant differences in the mental component score at 10 wk, no statistically significant differences at 6 mo | Wyatt18 |
□ Global health (recorded by parents/care givers) | Children with cerebral palsy | Greater proportion of parents with children in intervention group rated their child as having better general health at 10-wk and 6-mo follow-up | Wyatt18 |
▪ Sleep | | | |
□ EEG, EOG, EMG | Healthy adults | Sleep latency significantly decreased | Cutler19 |
□ Number of hours spent sleeping per 24 h (recorded by parents) | Infants with colic | Statistically significant improvement in time spent sleeping | Hayden15 |
□ Sleep diary (recorded by parents/care givers) | Children with cerebral palsy | Statistically significant differences in mean time to sleep at 10 wk, no statistically significant differences on time to sleep and time spent asleep at 6 mo | Wyatt18 |
□ Global sleeping (recorded by parents or care givers) | Children with cerebral palsy | Greater proportion of parents with children in intervention group rated their child as having better sleeping at 10-wk and 6-mo follow-up | Wyatt18 |
▪ Gross Motor Function | | | |
□ GMFM-66 (recorded by physiotherapists) | Children with cerebral palsy | No statistically significant difference at 6 mo | Wyatt18 |
▪ Crying, Parental Attention | | | |
□ Amount of inconsolable crying and time the infant was being held or rocked | Infants with colic | Less parental attention was required Statistically significant reduction in crying per 24 h (recorded by parents) | Hayden15 |
▪ ANS Function* | | | |
□ Distance visual acuity; accommodative system testing (Donder push-ups†); | Myopia or hyperopia | Statistically significant effect in pupil size measured under bright illumination | Sandhouse16 |
□ Local stereoacuity; pupil size; vergence | | | |
□ Postganglionic MSNA (microneurography), ECG (heart rate), arterial blood pressure (photoplethysmography) | Healthy adults | Heart rate and BP were not significantly different at any time points during all 3 trials; MSNA during the CV-4 stillpoint was decreased when compared to pre-stillpoint MSNA (no difference during sham or control procedure) | Cutler19 |
□ Galvanic skin resistance, skin temperature, heart rate (ECG), respiration rate | Healthy adults | No statistically significant differences in any variable across the 5 phases | Milnes21 |
□ Flowmetry time-course records, measurement of Traube-Hering oscillations | Healthy adults | Statistically significant differences were seen for the baro (Traube-Hering) signal; No significant differences were determined for the thermo (Mayer) signal | Nelson20 |
□ Laser Doppler flowmetry (Traube-Hering-Mayer oscillations) | Healthy adults | Decrease of thermal signal power and increase of baro signal; no change of respiratory and cardiac signal seen | Sergueef17 |
▪ Safety | | | |
□ Side effects of procedure | Children with cerebral palsy | No serious adverse events reported and no child withdrew from the study because of side effects of the treatment | Wyatt18 |
