“…We chose 30 words in response to experience in previous studies on the same EHR data set [26,27,28,29]. The snippets were categorized into 6 modalities: Acupuncture, Biofeedback, Guided Imagery [30], Meditation, Tai-Chi and Yoga. For each modality, a small subset (n=500~600) of the snippets was selected for human annotation.…”

There is an increasing interest in the use of Complementary and Integrative Health (CIH) for treatment of pain as an alternative to opioid medications. We use a novel explainable deep learning approach compared and contrasted to a traditional logistic regression model to explore the impact of musculoskeletal disorder related factors on the use of CIH. The impact scores from the neural network show high correlation with the log-odds ratios of the logistic regression, showing the promise that neural networks can be used to identify high impact factors without depending on a priori assumptions and limitations of traditional statistical models.

“…Guided imagery involves the generation of specific mental images to evoke a state of relaxation or physiologic change [9], {10}, [11], such as, the imagining of pain from a headache being collected in a balloon and slowly drifting away. Although, it is difficult for some people to accept that pain can have a psychological as well as physical root, randomised-controlled studies have found that guided imagery has significantly reduced various types of pain [8]. During one session with Sally, she reported that she was suffering with pain on her spine, which almost felt like someone was "playing it like an instrument".…”

Background: Pain problems can act as a barrier to individuals recovering from psychological trauma following receiving appropriate psychological therapy. Therefore, it would be prudent of therapists to treat pain problems in clients prior to embarking on trauma informed therapy to increase the chances of therapy being more clinically and cost effective. Objective: This article aims to provide practice-based evidence to demonstrate how a client's pain problems were affecting her recovery from severe psychological trauma following a serious accident, and how psychological pain management work prior to her starting trauma informed therapy assisted her to overcome the barrier of pain to her recovery. Method: The client was offered psychological pain management intervention based on the gate theory of pain prior to embarking on trauma focussed cognitive behavioural therapy to treat her post trauma symptoms following a serious accident. The gate theory argues that psychological factors have potential to open a gate to the pain system causing an increase in pain perception. According to this model, once these factors are addressed it will lead to improvement in pain perception. Result: Guided imagery techniques were utilised to assist the client to resolve emotional factors in connection with her pain which resulted in further recovery of her pain perception. Following recovery in this the client was able to experience increase emotional capacity as well as mobility to receive trauma focussed cognitive behavioural therapy to reduce her psychological trauma symptoms. Conclusion: This case study was able to demonstrate that treating clients pain problems prior to treating psychological trauma has potential to be clinically and cost effective. It is recommended that further research be done in this area.

“…Guided imagery has been used successfully in a variety of formats, including live guided imagery, where a health care professional speaks directly to patients, and audiorecorded guided imagery, and with both individuals and groups of patients (Eller, 1999). Guided imagery has been commended for its effectiveness, affordability, and simplicity of administration (Ackerman & Turkoski, 2000;Apóstolo & Kolcaba, 2009;Tusek & Cwynar, 2000).…”

Few studies have examined the effects of guided imagery on older adults in residential care. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of group-delivered guided imagery over a 16-day period with a sample of Thai older adults in residential care (N = 31). Residents were randomly allocated to the guided imagery treatment group or usual care control group. No significant differences were found between the two groups regarding affective states, cognitive functioning, or pain. The results are discussed in relation to a ceiling effect and other methodological factors that may have contributed to the lack of positive outcomes. As the evidence base remains inconclusive, it is hoped that future studies will seek to establish the effects of using guided imagery with older adults in residential care.
