This thesis publication contains the complete pilot study "The effect of the Reaset Approach on the autonomic nervous system, state-trait anxiety and musculoskeletal pain in patients with work-related stress" by Tom Meyers. The follow-up study (n=40) and non-fiction book about the development of the 'Reaset Approach' will be published in 2017.Study Abstract: Background: The evolution towards a more computerised work environment has changed the way we work and the way work is organised. These changes have given rise to new, psychosocial, physical and biological occupational health risks including work-related stress, musculoskeletal disorders, changes in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and anxiety.Osteopathy is best known for its efficacy on musculoskeletal disorders especially lower back pain. However, it has also been shown to improve non-musculoskeletal conditions like trauma, neurologic and autonomic nervous system disorders. Objective: This pilot study was conducted in order to determine the feasibility of a follow-up study and treatment efficacy of the 'Reaset Approach' - a novel body-mind treatment approach based on the osteopathic principles set by Dr A. Still - on the autonomic nervous system, state and trait anxiety and musculoskeletal pain in subjects with work-related stress.Methods: 15 subjects with work related stress and musculoskeletal pain (MSP) were assigned into 3 groups (Body, Head-Neck, Head-Neck-Body). Each group received a single 25 minute 'Reaset Approach' intervention. Heart rate variability (HRV), electro-dermal activity (EDA), State Trait Anxiety (STAI) and MSP were measured.Results: HRV parameters: SDNN increased in 13 of 15 subjects while SD1 and SD2 increased in 12 of 15 subjects. EDA reduced in 10 of 14 subjects. State Anxiety reduced in all subjects and Trait Anxiety reduced in 14 of 15 subjects. MSP reduced in all subjects after the intervention and were still lower three days afterwards.Conclusions: This pilot study determined that a follow-up study can ensue provided minor modifications are implemented and that the 'Reaset Approach' has an influence on the ANS, anxiety and MSP. Results do differ between groups. The intervention groups including the head and neck modalities demonstrated better results.The information provided in this book is designed to provide helpful information on the subjects discussed.
