A new medical approach on depression and anxiety stress-related: the Neuro Psycho Physical Optimization with Conveyer of Modulating Radiance (CRM) therapy.

INTERVENTION: 688 subjects were selected randomly from a 888 group to be subjected to a cycle of Neuro Psycho Physical Optimization (ONPF) with CMR therapy and 200 subjects were used for the control group.The instrument used in this study is a biomedical radiofrequency instrument, called Conveyer of Modulating Radiance (CRM) authorized by the Italian Ministry of Health, in accordance with Directive 93/42/EEC.The empiric protocol used, called Neuro Psycho Physical Optimization (ONPF)®, involves the application of a probe of the CMR® on specific points of the auricular pavilion for an activation time of roughly 500 mms. The ONPF ® protocol is activated in a precise sequence on seven auricular points.The protocol envisages 18 sessions of ONPF® treatment on alternating days, for eight (8)weeks. In this study we have chosen the PSM Test to investigate if an NPPO® cycle with CMR® therapy ‐ is effective in reducing the subjective perception of stress, stress correlated anxiety and depression. CONDITION: Stress correlated anxiety and depression PRIMARY OUTCOME: The PSM Test. This test has good convergent validity with the Brief Symptom Inventory (r = .76), the Beck Depression Inventory (r = .75), and with Spielberger's anxiety scale (State subscale r = .73) (Dion, 1988; Lemyre et al., 1991 SECONDARY OUTCOME: Wellbeing ‐ Neuro Psycho Physical Optimization INCLUSION CRITERIA: Patients suffering from depression and anxiety stress related
