 Burned patients experience a high level of anxiety during dress changing. The use of complementary medicine is one of the methods of anxiety management that many studies have conducted about it in recent years. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of progressive relaxation with abdominal respiration technique on pain anxiety of burn dressing. 

 This study was a randomized clinical trial with a control group. We selected forty-five patients referred to Zare Hospital in Sari through simple sampling and assigned into three groups. The first group received relaxation intervention, the second group received respiratory technique intervention, and no intervention was performed in the control group. Burn Specific Pain Anxiety Scale (BSPAS) was used to measure pain-related anxiety. SPSS software version 20 was used to analyze the data. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc test were used for data analysis.

 Based on the results, 28% of the participants in the study were single and 72% were married. In terms of age, most of the participants were between 31 and 40 years old. The findings showed that there was no significant difference between the mean pain anxiety levels in the three groups before the intervention. There was a significant difference in the average burn dressing pain anxiety after the intervention between the relaxation group and the control group (P<0.001) and the breathing techniques group and the control group (P<0.000), so that the average burn dressing pain anxiety in the group Relaxation was reduced by 8.60 units as compared to the control group and in the breathing techniques group by 11.60 units as compared to the control group.

 The use of relaxation “techniques” and respiratory techniques, which are non-pharmacological methods, are recommended during dress changing in the burned patient. These methods are simple and inexpensive and can reduce the effects of pain anxiety during dress changing.

Chronic Low back pain (LBP) is one of the top 10 diseases that account for the most years of life with disability worldwide.

Migraine headache is a common, painful, severe and debilitating in chronic conditions which can be characterized by recurrent and unilateral moderate to severe attacks.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of transdiagnostic treatment on pain anxiety, distress intolerance and sleep disorders in psychosomatic patients who suffer from migraine.

The present study was a quasi-experimental study that benefited from a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included patients with migraine referred to a psychiatrist in Urmia in the second half of 2020, who were randomly divided into control and experimental groups with 15 patients in each group. Measurement tools included Distress Intolerance Questionnaire (Simmons & Gaher, 2005), Pain Anxiety Scale (McCracken & et al, 1992) and Sleep Disorders Questionnaire (Mohammadi & et al, 2009). Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance in SPSS-26 software.

The results showed that considering ETA squares, there was a statistically significant difference between the control and experimental groups (p<0.001). Therefore; it can be claimed that changes and improvements in about 92% of pain anxiety, 91.6% of distress intolerance and 82.1% of sleep disorders have been due to the effectiveness of transdiagnostic treatment intervention.

The results showed that transdiagnostic treatment can be used in conjunction with drug interventions for migraine patients who can also be effective in reducing emotional symptoms, pain anxiety, distress intolerance and sleep disorders in these individuals.

Toothache is one of the most common complaints related to dental services. People may experience high levels of anxiety when visiting a dentist or avoid receiving services. The term dental anxiety is used to describe a specific type of anxiety caused by the dental environment. The present study aimed to investigate the psychological factors affecting dental anxiety.Materials &

Burns are one of the most destructive injuries and one of the most common psychological problems in patients affected by burns is pain anxiety. The most common treatment for burn problems is medication and drug therapy, but recently emerging therapies such as 3D virtual reality have been used to reduce the severity and anxiety of pain. the purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of drug therapy and virtual reality on pain anxiety and pain severity in burn patients of Imam Musa Center in Isfahan.

This study was a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test with control group. For this purpose, the study population consisted of all eligible patients in burn section of Imam Musa Kazem Medical Center in Isfahan in 1977. Available types selected. Then, according to inclusion criteria, 45 patients were included in the study and were randomly assigned into two groups of experimental 1 (virtual reality therapy), experimental 2 (drug therapy) and one control group (15 patients each). Before and after the intervention, subjects responded to the GRS and BSPAS.

The results showed that both virtual reality therapy and drug therapy had a significant effect on burn pain anxiety of burn patients and compared the two treatments, the effectiveness of virtual reality therapy was more than drug therapy and the difference between drug therapy and treatment groups. Virtual reality was significant (p <0.05). Also, both virtual reality therapy and drug therapy had a significant effect on perceived pain severity in burn patients and there was no significant difference between the effectiveness of virtual reality therapy and drug therapy in reducing pain severity (p <0.05).
