简要总结
Application of deep touch pressure (DTP) has been suggested to provide positive effects on anxiety modulation. However, empirical and theoretical evidence linked to the clinical effects of DTP is relatively rare in the behavioral and physiological aspects. The aim of this intervention trial study designs to investigate the effect of DTP in dental treatment by quantitative analysis of behavioral assessments and physiological measurements, including the electrodermal activity and heart rate variability, were conducted to understand the modulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the orchestration of sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic (PsNS) nervous systems.
详细描述
The subjects were recruited through word-of-mouth and by posted sign-up from the Department of Dentistry, National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH), Taiwan. Informed consent was obtained prior to participation. The study protocol was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of NTUH. Before the testing, the experimental protocol was explained to the subjects. The subjects with normal overnight sleep quality were recruited to prevent the influences in both physiological and physical fatigue. All potential subjects receive independent examinations by an occupational therapist and a dentist to determine the eligibility for inclusion as well as were blind to the study hypotheses. Both electrodermal activity (EDA) and heart rate variability (HRV) were recorded continually through the entire testing procedures. Since the EDA and HRV are sensitive indicators for autonomic nervous system modulation, a standardization procedure that ensures the integrity of data is accessed. The power of the testing is preset at 0.80, and the significant level is 0.05. The quasi-experimental design of clinical trial for repeated measures will be used.

结局指标
主要结局
Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
时间窗: The post-treatment phase is defined as the five minutes after the dental treatment. The HRV data recorded in this phase will be considered as the post-treatment data which used to compare to the baseline and treatment data.
A non-invasive technique to investigate the effect of mental stress of the autonomic nervous system control on heart rate.
Electrodermal Activity (EDA)
时间窗: The post-treatment phase is defined as the five minutes after the dental treatment. The EDA data recorded in this phase will be considered as the post-treatment data which used to compare to the baseline and treatment data.
A non-invasive technique to investigate the effect of mental stress of the sympathetic nervous system control on sweat gland of skin.
次要结局
- Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS)(The averaged time of dental treatment is about 40-90 minutes.This questionnaire will be applied immediately after the dental treatment completion.)
- Numeric State Anxiety Scale (NSAS)(The averaged time of dental treatment is about 40-90 minutes.This scale will be scored immediately after the dental treatment completion.)
