Effects of Virtual Reality Therapy Combined With Conventional Rehabilitation on Pain, Kinematic Function, and Disability in Patients With Chronic Neck Pain: Randomized Controlled Trial

Effects of Virtual Reality Therapy Combined With Conventional Rehabilitation on Pain, Kinematic Function, and Disability in Patients With Chronic Neck Pain: Randomized Controlled Trial

Global perceived effect is a self-administered questionnaire applied to evaluate patient satisfaction and the relief of symptoms in this study [43]. The satisfaction level ranges from –5 (totally dissatisfied) to 5 (totally satisfied). Similarly, patients could report their relief of symptoms by using the Global Perceived Effect scale, with lower scores representing worse therapeutic effects. These 2 indicators were only measured immediately postintervention and at 3 months after intervention.

Vaping: Public Health, Social Media, and Toxicity

In addition to the toxic effects brought by the presence of certain chemicals, the source of such chemicals may have an effect as well. The source of nicotine in e-liquids can be divided into 2 categories: TDN and TFN (nicotine that is not derived from tobacco plants).

Assessing the Effect of Nonvisual Information Factors in Pandemic-Related Video Communication: Randomized Controlled Between-Subjects Experiment

Assessing the Effect of Nonvisual Information Factors in Pandemic-Related Video Communication: Randomized Controlled Between-Subjects Experiment

This study addresses the research gap regarding the effect of nonvisual information factors on communication outcomes. The aim of the study is to assess the effect of 3 aspects of the messenger (source) and the message (topic and call to action) on the outcomes (trust, comprehension, intentions, and behavior) of pandemic video communication.

Effects of Prosocial and Hope-Promoting Communication Strategies on COVID-19 Worry and Intentions for Risk-Reducing Behaviors and Vaccination: Experimental Study

As a secondary exploratory aim, we also assessed whether COVID-19 worry might mediate the relationship between messaging strategies and vaccination intentions, based on previous research suggesting a mediating role of worry in the effect of different hypothetical influenza messages on vaccination intentions [38].

The Effects of Online Health Information–Seeking Behavior on Sexually Transmitted Disease in China: Infodemiology Study of the Internet Search Queries

The Effects of Online Health Information–Seeking Behavior on Sexually Transmitted Disease in China: Infodemiology Study of the Internet Search Queries

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, some studies have investigated the time lag effect of the Baidu index on the number of COVID-19 cases [23]. However, for other diseases, such as STDs, little attention has been given to the long-term health effects associated with Baidu index data. In addition, almost all of the related studies used only a single data variable from the Baidu index and did not take socioeconomic or local medical conditions into consideration.

A Universal Mental Health–Promoting Mobile App for Adolescents: Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

A Universal Mental Health–Promoting Mobile App for Adolescents: Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

A meta-analysis of the effectiveness of relaxation techniques to reduce distress, anxiety, and depression in adolescents, on the other hand, had promising results with small to moderate effect sizes [17]. Identifying effective interventions for improving mental health among adolescents is necessary, and studies that have no or negative results also play an important role in determining what helps to improve mental health and what does not [18].

Sentiment Analysis of Insomnia-Related Tweets via a Combination of Transformers Using Dempster-Shafer Theory: Pre– and Peri–COVID-19 Pandemic Retrospective Study

Sentiment Analysis of Insomnia-Related Tweets via a Combination of Transformers Using Dempster-Shafer Theory: Pre– and Peri–COVID-19 Pandemic Retrospective Study

For instance, one study used Twitter to report the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sleep quality of pregnant women based on 192 tweets [18]. The sentiment analysis of social media content is a challenging task, since such texts are unstructured, brief, informal, and casual; are prone to mistakes in dictation and grammar; and are noisy (emojis, hashtags, URLs, etc); and they entail ambiguities, such as polysemy [19].

Differentiated Effects and Determinants of Home Blood Pressure Telemonitoring: Three-Year Cohort Study in Jieshou, Anhui, China

Differentiated Effects and Determinants of Home Blood Pressure Telemonitoring: Three-Year Cohort Study in Jieshou, Anhui, China

Despite indications that the greatest effect of HBPT on BP control is usually achieved in the first months of the intervention, this is based on studies with a relatively short duration (less than 1 year) and its sustainability over the long term remains to be proven [16-18]. China has witnessed a rapid increase in the use of HBPT over the past decade. More and more residents are buying and using various types of HBPT devices.

A Positive Emotion–Focused Intervention to Increase Physical Activity After Bariatric Surgery: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

A Positive Emotion–Focused Intervention to Increase Physical Activity After Bariatric Surgery: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

We will examine the effect sizes of the intervention outcomes in addition to P values owing to low power. We will calculate the average proportion of sessions completed to measure feasibility. The study will be considered feasible if at least 7 of 10 sessions are completed on average. Acceptability will be measured with means and SDs of participants’ ratings of session ease and utility, compared to our hypothesized target of ≥7 out of 10 for each rating.
