Gene Therapy00:59

Gene Therapy

27.6K
Gene therapy is a technique where a gene is inserted into a person’s cells to prevent or treat a serious disease. The added gene may be a healthy version of the gene that is mutated in the patient, or it could be a different gene that inactivates or compensates for the patient’s disease-causing gene. For example, in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) due to a mutation in the gene for the enzyme adenosine deaminase, a functioning version of the gene can be...

Group Therapy

433
Group therapy is a sociocultural approach to psychological treatment, where individuals with shared psychological challenges come together under the guidance of a mental health professional. This therapeutic modality offers unique opportunities for individuals to connect, share, and grow within the context of a supportive group. By fostering mutual understanding and collaboration, group therapy can address a range of psychological concerns effectively, often complementing or surpassing the...

Cancer Therapies

Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Behavior Therapy

Behavior therapy incorporates diverse techniques rooted in classical conditioning principles to address maladaptive behaviors and anxiety disorders. These methods aim to reduce avoidance behaviors, foster adaptive coping mechanisms, and alter associations between stimuli and responses, making them effective in a wide range of therapeutic contexts.
Exposure therapy is a cornerstone of behavioral treatment for anxiety disorders. It involves systematic exposure to feared stimuli, either in real...

Drug Therapy

The advent of drug therapy has profoundly shaped modern mental health care, providing targeted treatments for a range of psychological disorders. Psychotherapeutic drugs, classified into antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, address symptoms across anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. While these medications have transformed patient outcomes, they require careful management due to their potential side effects and limitations.

Cognitive Therapy01:25

Cognitive Therapy

1.0K
Cognitive therapy, pioneered by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s, is a structured approach to addressing psychological distress by focusing on the influence of thoughts on emotions and behaviors. All cognitive therapies involve the basic assumption that human beings have control over their feelings, and that how individuals feel about something depends on how they think about it. Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...

Area of Science:

  • Integrative Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Cupping therapy is a widely used alternative medicine with a long history.
  • Its therapeutic effects lack robust scientific evidence, particularly regarding underlying mechanisms.
  • Hemodynamic changes are hypothesized to be involved in cupping's purported benefits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the hemodynamic changes induced by cupping therapy.
  • To provide scientific evidence for the mechanism of cupping therapy.
  • To explore the utility of near-infrared spectroscopy in monitoring cupping therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) sensors were embedded in suction cups.
  • Simultaneous NIRS monitoring of hemodynamics at the treatment site and surrounding tissue.
  • Study conducted on 10 healthy male subjects.

Main Results:

  • Significant increase in oxy-hemoglobin (OHb) and deoxy-hemoglobin (RHb) at the treatment site.
  • Decrease in OHb and RHb levels in the surrounding tissue.
  • Sustained elevated OHb levels post-treatment at both sites.

Conclusions:

  • Cupping therapy demonstrably increases local blood volume and tissue oxygenation.
  • Hemodynamic alterations in surrounding tissues were observed.
  • NIRS integration offers a novel method for understanding cupping therapy's physiological effects.
