| Popis: | 104 Dental treatment procedures cause anxiety for many patients. It increases when patients anticipate their turn for dental treatment. Although the effect of deep pressure input to increase the parasympathetic modulation of heart rate variability (HRV) during dental procedures had been found, relative rare information is acquired regarding to the lasting effect of deep pressure input on parasympathetic activation. The aim of the present study was to determine the lasting effects of deep pressure input on waiting scheduled dental treatment and to compare the physiological and behavioral performances with and without deep pressure input on dental treatment. Eighteen healthy adults and 21 patients with intellectual disabilities were recruited in the present study. The deep pressure input was applied by the weight vest on the waiting time for healthy as well as disabled groups. Based on the characteristics of subject groups, the weight blanket device was applied to the healthy adults and the papoose board was applied to the intellectual disabled group during the phase of dental treatment. The self-reported behavioral assessments and noninvasive physiological measures were administered to identify both behavioral and physiological performances of deep pressure input for both groups. The result indicated that the effect of deep pressure input significantly increase the parasympathetic activity during the dental treatment procedures. Furthermore, the effect of parasympathetic modulation was lasted from the deep pressure input which applied in the waiting time before the dental treatment to the phase of dental treatment. Weighted vest appears to be a simple, safe, economical, and effective approach with lasting effect on increase activity of parasympathetic nervous system. The application of deep pressure input benefited lasting effect for parasympathetic modulation reported from physiological measures here need further investigation for underlying mechanism. |
