Relaxation interventions for improving sleep outcomes in perinatal women: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
2021, MidwiferyCitation Excerpt :Disturbance in sleep caused by arousal can be neutralised with relaxation and by reducing parasympathetic activities (Jerath et al., 2019), leading to decrease in sleep disturbance. Relaxation response (Benson et al., 1974) is closely related to hypothalamic response, in which a reduction in sympathetic nervous system activity and heightened parasympathetic activity reduce physiological arousal amongst perinatal women (Borkovec et al., 1975). During the transition from wakefulness to sleep, increase in as parasympathetic tone reduces sleep latency and facilitates sleep onset (Miglis, 2017).
A systematic review and meta-analysis of placebo versus no treatment for insomnia symptoms
2018, Sleep Medicine ReviewsCitation Excerpt :All included studies had unclear risk of reporting bias and low risk for attrition and other bias. Eleven studies demonstrated unclear risk in random sequence generation [38–47,50], and two studies demonstrated high risk [48,49], as participants in these two studies chose which nights to take the placebo sleeping pill, and so placebo treatment and no treatment nights were not randomised. While all participants were blind to the possibility of receiving placebo treatment, as per our inclusion criteria, seven studies were judged to have unclear risk of detection bias, as they did not report whether blinding was successful [38,41,44,46,48–50].
