Hypnosis Program Effectiveness in a 12-week Home Care Intervention To Manage Chronic Pain in Elderly Women: A Pilot Trial
International audienceAs the prevalence of pain increases with age, taking too much medication can lead to negative side effects in elderly patients. While evidence in the literature has shown that clinical hypnosis is effective in an adult population, there are few studies in an aging population and efficacy has never been established in a home care setting. The goal of this study was to determine the effects of a hypnosis program delivered during home care interventions in elderly women during a 12-week period
Preventing and Managing Indoor Falls with Home-Based Technologies in Mild and Moderate Alzheimer's Disease Patients: Pilot Study in a Community Dwelling.
International audience: Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is known to increase the risk of falls. We aim to determine the effectiveness of home-based technologies coupled with teleassistance service (HBTec-TS) in older people with AD. Methods: A study of falls and the HBTec-TS system (with a light path combined with a teleassistance service) was conducted in the community. The 96 subjects, drawn from a random population of frail elderly people registered as receiving an allocation for lost autonomy from the county, were aged 65 or more and had mild-to-moderate AD with 1 year of follow-up; 49 were in the intervention group and 47 in the control group. Results: A total of 16 (32.7%) elderly people fell in the group with HBTec-TS versus 30 (63.8%) in the group without HBTec-TS. The use of HBTec-TS was significantly associated with a reduction in the number of indoor falls among elderly people with mild-to-moderate AD (OR = 0.37, 95% CI = 0.15-0.88, p = 0.0245). Conclusion: The use of the HBTec-TS significantly reduced the incidence of primary indoor falling needing GP intervention or attendance at an emergency room among elderly people with AD and mild-to-moderate dementia. © 2013 S.
