“…Previous studies in patients with PCOS have similarly reported that cognitive-behavioral interventions can reduce depressive scores in PCOS ( 35 , 44 , 45 ). Moreover, research has shown that using mobile applications and text messages as intervention measures can improve patients’ mental and physical health ( 22 , 46 ), which is consistent with our study findings. Furthermore, in our study, subgroup analysis based on study duration revealed a significant decrease in testosterone in the control group.…”

“…Currently, behavioral intervention has been applied and reported as a treatment option for PCOS patients (18). However, there is inconsistent evidence regarding the effects of behavioral interventions on body composition, clinical manifestations, and biochemical indicators in patients with PCOS (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32). Some studies suggest that behavioral interventions can lead to increased improvements in PCOS patients (20-28, 30, 31), while others have proved that behavioral interventions have no significant effect (29,32).…”

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of behavioral intervention for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).MethodsElectronic databases were searched, including Pubmed, Medline, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from inception to 1 April 2023. Inclusion criteria for this study required a diagnosis of PCOS. Interventions of interest included behavioral intervention and routine treatment compared with routine treatment. The studies included in the analysis were designed as randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We conducted meta-analyses following the recommended guidelines. The data was analyzed using either the random effects model or fixed effects model. The results of the studies were expressed as either mean differences (MD) or standardized mean differences (SMD) along with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsEight RCTs were identified, including data from 744 patients (415 in the intervention group and 329 in the control group). The results indicate an improvement in the effectiveness of behavioral interventions for weight loss (MD: -1.07; 95% CI: -2.1 to 0.03; I2 = 0%; P=0.04), body mass index (BMI) (MD: -1.12; 95% CI: -1.92 to -0.33; I2 = 73%; P=0.006), waist circumference (MD: -3.97; 95% CI: -5.64 to -2.29; I2 = 0%; P<0.00001), quality of life about weight (MD: 0.58; 95% CI: 0.15 to 1.02; I2 = 0%; P=0.008), depression (SMD: -1.12; 95% CI: -2.35 to -0.07; I2 = 92%; P=0.04), and triglycerides (MD: -0.16; 95% CI: -0.27 to -0.05; I2 = 27%; P=0.004). However, there were no significant differences in menstrual cycles, hirsutism, emotions, and infertility. The study also found that behavioral interventions had no significant effect on systolic and diastolic blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, testosterone, total cholesterol, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, hemoglobin A1C, and sex hormone binding globulin.ConclusionBehavioral intervention supplementation contributes to weight loss, reduction in BMI and waist circumference, and improvement in depression among patients with PCOS. However, no significant improvement was observed in the biochemical index and quality of life. The long-term effects of behavioral intervention for PCOS remain unclear due to limitations in the quality of the studies involved and the short duration of treatment.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO, identifier CRD42023442875.

Purpose: Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease with a very high prevalence all over the world in recent years. Therefore, this research intended to examine the impact of resistance and aerobic exercises on selected functional capacities and cognitive indicators in depressed women with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods:The current study was semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design. In this survey, 30 women with MS (25-50 years old) with an expanded disability status scale range between 0-5.5, and depression among those who visited the neurology clinic at Guilan University of Medical Sciences (Bethat) were selected. The study included a control group (n=10) and two intervention groups: resistance (n=10) and aerobic (n=10) exercises. To evaluate the variables of stress, depression, fatigue, and functional capacities, the following questionnaires and tests were used: Perceived stress scale, Beck's depression inventory, fatigue severity scale, 10-meter walk test (10MWT), 6-minute walk test (6MWT), timed up and go (TUG), and 30-second chair stand (30 CST) tests. Exercises of aerobic were done at an intensity of 40_60% of the maximum rate of heart for 10-30 minutes. Home-based resistance training, including a hypertrophy phase (four weeks), and strength and power phase (four weeks) was conducted at an intensity of 0.5-1.5% of the subjects' body weight. The duration of the training for both groups was eight weeks. The data were analyzed by repeated-measures two-way ANOVA by SPSS software, version 26. The significance level was set at 0.05.Results: Both resistance and aerobic training had a significant intra-group impact on various factors (P≤0.05). Specifically, perceived stress (P=0.01) and depression level (P=0.001), and 10-MWT (P=0.01), 6MWT (P=0.001), and 30 CST (P=0.001) results showed statistically notable improvements. Regarding the inter-group effect, notable dissimilarities were seen in depression and functional strength of lower limbs (30 CST) among the three groups (P≤0.05). Noteworthy, variations were also found in fatigue and the timed up-and-go test. Conclusion:Both aerobic and resistance exercises can be considered effective interventions for improving depression, perceived stress, and functional capacity in individuals with MS.

BACKGROUND: The global implementation of full-time telework became widespread during the new normal conditions following the pandemic, resulting in reduced physical activity (PA) among teleworkers and young adults. It is vital to comprehend how telehealth interventions favorably impact PA levels and overall well-being of young adults who face increasingly blurred boundaries between work and home life. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of telerehabilitation (TR) on PA levels and quality of life (QoL) in young adult teleworkers. METHODS: A quasi-experimental study was conducted on 82 teleworkers (54 females and 28 males). Levels of PA and QoL were assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL-14) questionnaire. TR was provided to all participants for four weeks, three times a week, for 40 minutes per session. Levels of PA and QoL were evaluated at baseline and after four weeks of the intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS: After four weeks of TR, there has been a significant improvement in the scores of IPAQ and HRQOL-14 (p < 0.05). In regards to IPAQ-SF results, TR had a significant effect on the sitting or sedentary behavior of the teleworkers. CONCLUSION: The results showed that a short-term TR intervention improved both the level of PA and QoL in young adult teleworkers. Therefore, TR may be an effective treatment approach to improve PA and QoL and promote a healthy lifestyle in teleworkers.
