Study protocol for a pragmatic randomised controlled trial in general practice investigating the effectiveness of acupuncture against migraine
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Migraine is a chronic neurologic disease that can severely affect the patient's quality of life. Although in recent years many randomised studies have been carried out to investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture as a treatment for migraine, it remains a controversial issue. Our aim is to determine whether acupuncture, applied under real conditions of clinical practice in the area of primary healthcare, is more effective than conventional treatment.</p> <p>Methods/Design</p> <p>The design consists of a pragmatic multi-centre, three-armed randomised controlled trial, complemented with an economic evaluation of the results achieved, comparing the effectiveness of verum acupuncture with sham acupuncture, and with a control group receiving normal care only.</p> <p>Patients eligible for inclusion will be those presenting in general practice with migraine and for whom their General Practitioner (GP) is considering referral for acupuncture. Sampling will be by consecutive selection, and by randomised allocation to the three branches of the study, in a centralised way following a 1:1:1 distribution (verum acupuncture; sham acupuncture; conventional treatment). Secondly, one patient in three will be randomly selected from each of the acupuncture (verum or sham) groups for a brain perfusion study (by single photon emission tomography). The treatment with verum acupuncture will consist of 8 treatment sessions, once a week, at points selected individually by the acupuncturist. The sham acupuncture group will receive 8 sessions, one per week, with treatment being applied at non-acupuncture points in the dorsal and lumbar regions, using the minimal puncture technique. The control group will be given conventional treatment, as will the other two groups.</p> <p>Discussion</p> <p>This trial will contribute to available evidence on acupuncture for the treatment of migraine. The primary endpoint is the difference in the number of days with migraine among the three groups, between the baseline period (the 4 weeks prior to the start of treatment) and the period from weeks 9 to 12. As a secondary aspect, we shall record the index of laterality and the percentage of change in the mean count per pixel in each region of interest measured by the brain perfusion tomography, performed on a subsample of the patients within the real and sham acupuncture groups.</p> <p>Trial registration</p> <p>Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN98703707.</p

Tratamientos Psicológicos Empíricamente Apoyados Para la Infancia y Adolescencia: : Estado de la Cuestión
Background: The empirical
evidence accumulated on the effi cacy, effectiveness, and effi ciency of
psychotherapeutic treatments in children and adolescents calls for an
update. The main goal of this paper objective was to carry out a selective
review of empirically supported psychological treatments for a variety
of common psychological disorders and problems in childhood and
adolescence. Method: A review was carried out of the psychological
treatments for different psychological disorders and problems in socialemotional or behavioral adjustment in the child-adolescent population
according to the Spanish National Health System (Clinical Practice
Guidelines) levels of evidence and degrees of recommendation. Results:
The fi ndings suggest that psychological treatments have empirical
support for addressing a wide range of psychological problems in these
developmental stages. The degree of empirical support ranges from low
to high depending on the phenomenon analyzed. The review suggests
unequal progress in the different fi elds of intervention. Conclusions:
From this update, psychologists will be able to make informed decisions
when implementing those empirically supported treatments to address the
problems that occur in childhood and adolescence.Antecedentes: la evidencia empírica acumulada en los últimos años sobre
la efi cacia, efectividad y efi ciencia de los tratamientos psicológicos en la
infancia y adolescencia reclama una actualización. El principal objetivo
de este artículo es el de llevar a cabo una revisión de los tratamientos
psicológicos empíricamente apoyados para una diversidad de problemas
psicológicos habituales en la infancia y la adolescencia. Método:
se revisan los tratamientos psicológicos para diferentes trastornos
psicológicos y problemas en el ajuste socioemocional o conductual en
población infanto-juvenil en función de los niveles de evidencia y grados
de recomendación del Sistema Nacional de Salud de España (Guías de
Práctica Clínica). Resultados: los hallazgos sugieren que los tratamientos
psicológicos específi camente dirigidos a niños, niñas y adolescentes
disponen de apoyo empírico para el abordaje de un amplio elenco de
problemas psicológicos. Este grado de apoyo empírico oscila de bajo a
alto en función del problema analizado. La revisión muestra un avance
desigual en los diferentes campos de intervención. Conclusiones: a partir
de esta actualización, los profesionales de la psicología podrán tomar
decisiones informadas a la hora de implementar aquellas intervenciones
psicológicas con apoyo empírico para el abordaje de los problemas en la
infancia y la adolescenci
