Positive effects on mood have been observed in subjects who underwent treatment of glabellar frown lines with botulinum toxin and, an open case series, depression remitted or improved after such treatment. Using a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial design we assessed injection to the region as adjunctive major depression. Thirty patients were randomly assigned verum (onabotulinumtoxinA, n = 15) placebo (saline, group. The primary end point was change 17-item version Hamilton...
A variety of objective and subjective methods exist to assess insomnia. The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) was developed provide a brief self-report instrument useful people's perception sleep complaints. ISI in English, has been translated into several languages including German. Surprisingly, the psychometric properties German version have not evaluated, although is often used with German-speaking populations. are tested three independent samples: 1475 adolescents, 862 university students,...
Abstract Mental toughness has been explored predominantly within sport contexts. Nevertheless, it is difficult to conceive mental as only applicable athletes. This study examines whether mentally tough participants exhibit resilience against stress. a cross‐sectional based on two different samples: Sample 1 consisted of 284 high school students (99 males, 185 females, M = 18.3 years). 2 140 first through fifth semester undergraduate (53 87 20.0 Participants provided information about their...
Numerous studies showed that regular physical activity (PA) is associated with both favourable and restorative sleep improved psychological functioning (PF). However, there little research on the topic covering early to mid-adolescence period. Moreover, curiosity exploratory behaviour (CEB) mental toughness (MT) as a result of PA remains thus far uninvestigated, do possible gender differences. The aim present study was explore associations between PA, subjective (sS), PF, CEB, MT during...
The aim of the present study was to explore association between subjective insomnia and self-reported emotional competence in areas such as regulating perceiving one's own emotions empathy, a sample adolescents. Gender differences were also explored. 366 adolescents 10th 12th grade (mean age: M = 16.9 years) took part this cross-sectional study. They completed questionnaires related competencies, sleep. Higher scores for associated with lower some aspects empathy. Compared males, females...
Background: Studies at the macro level (such as longer-term interventions) showed that physical activity impacts positively on cognitive-emotional processes of patients with mental disorders. However, research focusing immediate impact acute bouts exercise (micro level) are missing. The aim present study was therefore to investigate whether and what extent single moderately-intense can influence dimensions psychological functioning in inpatients Method: 129 (mean age: 38.16 years; 50.4%...

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> Depressive symptoms are a common mental health problem among young adults, but the physiological mechanisms that mediate between stress and depressive remain unclear. Accordingly, this exploratory study (1) examined how hair cortisol concentrations were associated with self-perceived in sample of adults (2) tested whether could explain variance beyond perceived before after controlling for levels vigorous physical activity (VPA)....
The aim of this study was to explore the association between mental toughness, subjective sleep, physical activity, and quality life during early mid-adolescence. A total 1475 participants (mean age = 13.4 years; range: 11–16 years) took part in study. They completed questionnaires related life. Greater toughness more favorable increased sleep. Mental not activity. Increased life, sleep are Against our expectations,
Mental toughness (MT) is understood as the display of confidence, commitment, challenge, and control. The aim this study was to explore extent which greater MT associated with subjectively assessed sleep among adolescents. A total 284 adolescents (M = 18.26 years) completed a series questionnaires assessing MT, psychological functioning, sleep. Greater significantly better quality, shorter onset latency, fewer awakenings after onset, longer duration. also less perceived stress depressive...
Assessing long-term cortisol secretion presents difficulties when measurement is carried out by saliva, plasma and urine analyses. Hair has gained increased interest as an alternative biological marker. So far, one study been published studying hair in endurance athletes, showing higher levels compared to controls. Using accelerometer data the present study, we cross-sectionally explored relationship between moderate physical activity (MPA) vigorous (VPA) concentrations after taking into...
In a randomized, controlled trial (n = 30), we showed that botulinum toxin injection to the glabellar region produces marked improvement in symptoms of major depression. We hypothesized mood-lifting effect was mediated by facial feedback mechanisms. Here assessed if agitation, which may be associated with increased dynamic psychomotor activity musculature, can predict response treatment. To test this hypothesis, re-analyzed data scales from our previous study on single item basis and...
