Attentional bias towards threatening stimuli in children with anxiety: A meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVES
Anxiety often presents comorbidly with asthma in youth under 18; however, prevalence rates are unclear. The aim of this review was to provide an up-to-date analysis of the literature investigating the prevalence of anxiety disorders, and comparisons of anxiety disorders and symptomatology in youth with asthma, compared to those without.

METHODS
A systematic search was conducted using the databases PsycINFO, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL.

RESULTS
The search process produced 15 studies (n = 7443) reporting data on youth with asthma and anxiety disorders, 11 studies (n = 10 332) reporting data on youth with and without asthma and anxiety disorders, and 28 studies (n = 5848) reporting data on youth with and without asthma and anxiety symptomatology. Youth with asthma had an anxiety disorder prevalence rate of 22.7%. Youth with asthma also had a greater number of anxiety disorders, compared to those without asthma (d = 0.37, 95%CI: 0.24-0.50, P < 0.001), and higher levels of anxiety symptomatology than youth without asthma (d = 0.29, 95%CI: 0.19-0.39, P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS
Youth with asthma display a prevalence rate for anxiety disorders that is more than three times higher than the prevalence in healthy youth. For the specific anxiety disorders investigated, elevated prevalence rates for youth with asthma were also found. Future research needs to focus on the factors that mediate or predict the development and maintenance of anxiety in youth with asthma and the development of clinically efficacious treatments.

Background
This is an update of the original Cochrane review first published in Issue 1, 2003, and previously updated in 2009, 2012 and 2014. Chronic pain, defined as pain that recurs or persists for more than three months, is common in childhood. Chronic pain can affect nearly every aspect of daily life and is associated with disability, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.

Psychological therapies for the management of chronic and recurrent pain in children andadolescents

Objective This study aimed to evaluate feasibility and acceptability of a hybrid cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention for adolescents with co-occurring migraine and insomnia. Background Many youth with chronic migraine have co-occurring insomnia. Little research has been conducted to evaluate behavioral treatments for insomnia in youth with migraine. Design and methods We conducted a single-arm pilot trial to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of delivering cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia to 21 youth (mean age 15.5, standard deviation 1.6) with co-occurring chronic migraine and insomnia. Adolescents completed up to 6 individual treatment sessions over 6 to 12 weeks, and 1 booster session 1 month later. Assessments included a prospective 7-day headache and sleep diary, and self-report measures of insomnia, sleep quality, sleep habits, and activity limitations at pre-treatment, immediate post-treatment, and 3-month follow-up. Results Adolescents demonstrated good treatment adherence and families rated the intervention as highly acceptable. Preliminary analyses indicated improvements from pre-treatment to post-treatment in primary outcomes of headache days (M = 4.7, SD = 2.1 vs M = 2.8, SD = 2.7) and insomnia symptoms (M = 16.9, SD = 5.2 vs M = 9.5, SD = 6.2), which were maintained at 3-month follow-up (M = 2.7, SD = 2.8; M = 9.3, SD = 5.0, respectively). We also found improvements in secondary outcomes of pain-related activity limitations as well as sleep quality, sleep hygiene, and sleep patterns. Conclusions These preliminary data indicate that hybrid cognitive-behavioral therapy is feasible and acceptable for youth with co-occurring chronic migraine and insomnia. Future randomized controlled trials are needed to test treatment efficacy on migraine, sleep, and functional outcomes. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03137147.
