OBJECTIVE:
To assess the effectiveness of a weighted-blanket intervention in treating severe sleep problems in
children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
METHODS:
This phase III trial was a randomized, placebo-controlled
crossover design. Participants were aged between 5 years and 16 years 10 months, with a confirmed ASD diagnosis
and severe sleep problems, refractory to community-based interventions. The interventions were either a commercially
available weighted blanket or otherwise identical usual weight blanket (control), introduced at bedtime; each was used
1. for a 2-week period before crossover to the other blanket. Primary outcome was total sleep time (TST) recorded by
actigraphy over each 2-week period. Secondary outcomes included actigraphically recorded sleeponset latency, sleep
efficiency, assessments of child behavior, family functioning, and adverse events. Sleep was also measured by using
parent-report diaries.
RESULTS:
Seventy-three children were randomized and analysis conducted on 67 children who
completed the study. Using objective measures, the weighted blanket, compared with the control blanket, did not
increase TST as measured by actigraphy and adjusted for baseline TST. There were no group differences in any other
objective or subjective measure of sleep, including behavioral outcomes. On subjective preference measures, parents
and children favored the weighted blanket.
CONCLUSIONS:
The use of a weighted blanket did not help children with
ASD sleep for a longer period of time, fall asleep significantly faster, or wake less often. However, the weighted blanket
was favored by children and parents, and blankets were well tolerated over this period. Copyright © 2014 by the

Purpose: An evaluation of a model of intervention in everyday settings, consisting of cognitive assistive technology
(CAT) and support provided by occupational therapists to adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The purpose was to study how professional support and CAT facilitate everyday life and promote community
participation of adults with ADHD. Method: The intervention was implemented in five steps and evaluated in a 15-
month study (March 2006 = T1 to June 2007 = T2). One questionnaire and one protocol describe the CATs and
provided support. Two questionnaires were employed at T1 and T2 for evaluation of the intervention in everyday
settings. Results: The participants tried 74 CATs, with weekly schedules, watches and weighted blankets being most
3.
highly valued. Carrying out a daily routine was the most frequent support. More participants were working at T2 than at
T1. Frequency of performing and satisfaction with daily occupations as well as life satisfaction were stable over the
one-year period. Conclusions: The results indicate a higher frequency of participating in work but only a tendency of
increased subjectively experienced life satisfaction. However, to be of optimal usability, CAT requires individually
tailored, systematic and structured support by specially trained professionals.Implications for RehabilitationAdults with
ADHD report an overall satisfaction with the cognitive assistive technology, particularly with low-technological products
such as weekly schedules and weighted blankets.Using cognitive assistive technology in everyday settings indicate a
higher frequency of participating in work, but only a tendency of increased subjectively experienced life satisfaction for
adults with ADHD.Prescription of cognitive assistive technology to adults with ADHD in everyday settings requires
individually tailored, systematic and structured support by specially trained professionals. © 2013 Informa UK Ltd All.

AN: 71240394
Introduction: Sleep difficulties with no explanatory cause can be mistaken forADHD, and that the kind of symptoms
observed in primary sleep disorders can often be mistaken forADHDas they are very similar to core symptoms of
ADHD. These disorders are found to be related to hyperactivity and inattentiveness, and the very treatment of the
sleep disorders has reduced-or even cured-both hyperactivity and inattentiveness. Studies using actigraphy found
increased sleep onset latency and increased day-to-day variability in the sleep-wake pattern of children with ADHD
compared with children without ADHD. Aims: Based on actigraphic surveillance, sleep diary, ADHD symptom rating
(ADHD-RS), functional impairment scale (WFIRS) and daily function (DDODS), this study will evaluate the effect of
treating sleep in a sample of 6-13 year-old ADHD children. The sleep latency, number of awakenings and total length
of sleep will be measured, as will the possible influence on parent and teacher rated ADHD symptom load and Quality
of life. Methods participants: A total of 35 children aged 6 years to 13 years are included. All referred to a child and
6. adolescent psychiatric department and diagnosed with ADHD. The diagnostic evaluations is based on face-to-face
parent interviews and a clinical assessment, and the hyperkinetic disorder (ADHD) is diagnosed in accordance with the
ICD-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Dis-order. Methods: To improve sleep we use a ball blanket, which
former has shown effect on sleep improvement. The children will sleep with the ball blanket in 8 weeks. Parents are
asked to evaluate sleep patterns using sleep questionnaire and sleep diary. Quality of life, using QoL-WFIRS rating
scale, daily functional level usingDDODS and parents and teachers are asked to evaluate ADHD symptoms before,
during and after the child using the Ball Blanket. Actigraphwill be used to obtain an objective view of the sleep pattern.
Sleep recording will take place in the children's own home and will be obtained in 3 periods of 7 days during the 8
weeks. Results: The study is ongoing. We will present preliminary result from the study, regarding eventual effect
onADHD core symptoms and child and family quality of life by treatingADHDrelated sleep problems. Our hypotheses
is, based on other studies, that prolonged use of a ball blanket in children with ADHD and sleeping difficulties not only
will improve their sleep, but also will influence on their ADHD symptoms. Clinical relevance: Provide this study finds
impact on treating sleep in children with ADHD on the ADHD core symptoms, the consequence may be more focus on
detecting sleep problems in children with ADHD, treating the sleep problem effectively and maybe that way reduce the
use of stimulants.

Objectives: In this study we will evaluate the effect of the standard treatment of sleeping disorders in children without
comorbidity. The study is still ongoing and the examinations will be finished in July 2013. Background: Sleeping
disabilities are common in children. Sleep is extremely important for the psychomotor and cognitive development of
children. In our clinic, ball blankets are the first choice of treatment and with insufficient effect, melatonin is tried.
However, in the present literature, there are only a few studies examining treatment of sleeping disorders in children
7.
without co- morbidity. Melatonin is shown to be effective in children with insomnia. Material and methods: We include
10 children with sleeping disorders without any comorbidity. The children are between 10 and 16 years old. They are
examined with ARMBAND analysis during three nights and with a structured questionnaire about quality of sleep.
Afterwards, the children will be treated according to the standard treatment procedure in our clinic, namely initially with
a ball blanket and if the effect is insufficient, treatment with tablet melatonin will be started. The children are
reexamined with ARMBAND analysis during 3 nights and questionnaire after 6 weeks treatment with ball blanket and
after 3 weeks treatment with melatonin. Results and conclusions: By the end of this study, we hope to increase the
knowledge about treatment of sleeping disorders in children and we hope to be able to optimize the treatment and give
more sufficient information to parents and children.

Chronic pain patients have a poor sleep quality (1,2) and sleep disruption increase the pathological significance of
disease and reduce well being (1,2). We examined sleep quality, pain, health related quality of life (QOL) and stress in
chronic non-malignant pain patients with a Ball or Placebo Blanket. A Ball (BB) or Placebo Blanket (PB) of equal size,
colour and weight was randomised to 30 patients. Patients completed a 3 month sleep and pain severity diary,
answered a SF-36 questionnaire and had blood samples drawn monthly. (Figure presented) Sleep disruption data are

illustrated in figure 1. No significant differences were found between treatment groups (p > 0.15, MWUT). The BB
group reduced the number of times (NO) awake during the study (p < 0.04, WSRT). The duration (DUR) of being
awake declined significantly during the study in the PB group (p < 0.02).The number of times (p < 0.006) and duration
of being out of bed was significantly reduced in the PB group (p < 0.04) during the study. Pain severity (nightly VAS
scores) was not affected within treatments nor between treatments (0.219 < p < 0.628). HbA1C levels were not
influenced by blanket types (p>0.15, 3). Physical function improved in the BB group (3). In the PB group general and
mental health improved (3). Whiplash patient's sleep quality and pain severity did not profit from having a Ball Blanket
but their QOL improved significantly. Whiplash patients improved sleep quality and QOL when sleeping with a heavy
placebo blanket.

Objectives: Based on actigraphic surveillance, attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptom rating and
sleep diary, this study will evaluate the effect of Ball Blanket on sleep for a sample of 8-13-year-old children with
ADHD. Design: Case-control study. Setting: A child and adolescent psychiatric department of a teaching hospital.
Participants: 21 children aged 8-13 years with a diagnosis of ADHD and 21 healthy control subjects. Intervention:
Sleep was monitored by parent-completed sleep diaries and 28 nights of actigraphy. For 14 of those days, the child
slept with a Ball Blanket. Main outcome measures: The sleep latency, number of awakenings and total length of sleep
was measured, as was the possible influence on parent-and teacher-rated ADHD symptom load. Results: The results
9. of this study will show that the time it takes for a child to fall asleep is shortened when using a Ball Blanket. The time it
takes to fall asleep when using the Ball Blanket is found to be at the same level as the healthy control subjects.
Teacher rating of symptoms show an improvement in both activity levels and attention span of approximately 10% after
using the Ball Blankets. Conclusions: The results of this study show that the use of Ball Blankets is a relevant and
effective treatment method with regard to minimizing sleep onset latency. We find that the use of Ball Blankets for 14-
days improves the time it takes to fall asleep, individual day-to-day variation and the number of awakenings to a level
that compares with those found in the healthy control group. Furthermore, we find that the use of Ball Blankets
significantly reduces the number of nights that the ADHD child spends more than 30 min falling asleep from 19% to
0%. © 2011 Informa Healthcare.

Introduction: Sleep deprivation in children with ADHD is a common reported complain. We know that sleep difficulties
with no explanatory cause can be mistaken for ADHD, and that the kind of symptoms observed in primary sleep
disorders - such as sleep-related breathing disorders - can often be mistaken for ADHD as they are very similar to
core symptoms of ADHD. Objectives: Based on actigraphic surveillance, ADHD symptom rating and sleep diary, this
study will evaluate the effect of ball blanket on sleep for a sample of 8-13 years old children with ADHD Design:
Case-control study. Setting: A child and adolescent psychiatric department of a teaching hospital. Participants: 21
children aged 8-13 years with a diagnosis of ADHD and 21 healthy control subjects. Intervention: Sleep was
10. monitored by parent-completed sleep diaries and 28 nights of actigraphy. For 14 of those days, the child slept with a
ball blanket. Results: The time it takes to fall asleep when using the ball blanket is shortened and found to be at the
same level as the healthy control subjects. Furthermore, we found that the use of ball blankets significantly reduced
the number of nights that the ADHD child spends more than 30 min falling asleep from 19 to 0%. Teacher rating of
symptoms showed an improvement in both activity levels and attention span of approx. 10% after using the ball
blankets. Discussion/conclusions: Use of ball blankets is a relevant and effective treatment method with regard to
minimising sleep onset latency. We found that the use of Ball Blankets for 14 days improved not only sleep onset
problems but also improved the daytime functioning in children with ADHD.

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the effectiveness of a weighted-blanket intervention in treating severe sleep problems in
1. children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
METHODS:
This phase III trial was a randomized, placebo-controlled crossover design. Participants were aged
between 5 years and 16 years 10 months, with a confirmed ASD diagnosis and severe sleep problems, refractory to
community-based interventions. The interventions were either a commercially available weighted blanket or otherwise
identical usual weight blanket (control), introduced at bedtime; each was used for a 2-week period before crossover to
the other blanket. Primary outcome was total sleep time (TST) recorded by actigraphy over each 2-week period.
Secondary outcomes included actigraphically recorded sleep-onset latency, sleep efficiency, assessments of child

behavior, family functioning, and adverse events. Sleep was also measured by using parent-report diaries.
RESULTS:
Seventy-three children were randomized and analysis conducted on 67 children who completed the study.
Using objective measures, the weighted blanket, compared with the control blanket, did not increase TST as measured
by actigraphy and adjusted for baseline TST. There were no group differences in any other objective or subjective
measure of sleep, including behavioral outcomes. On subjective preference measures, parents and children favored
the weighted blanket.
CONCLUSIONS:
The use of a weighted blanket did not help children with ASD sleep for a longer period of time, fall
asleep significantly faster, or wake less often. However, the weighted blanket was favored by children and parents, and
blankets were well tolerated over this period.Copyright © 2014 by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Cognitive assistive technology and professional support in everyday life for adults with ADHD.
Lindstedt H; Umb-Carlsson O.
Disability & Rehabilitation Assistive Technology. 8(5):402-8, 2013 Sep.
[Journal Article]
UI: 23992459
PURPOSE:
An evaluation of a model of intervention in everyday settings, consisting of cognitive assistive technology
(CAT) and support provided by occupational therapists to adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The purpose was to study how professional support and CAT facilitate everyday life and promote community
participation of adults with ADHD.
METHOD:
The intervention was implemented in five steps and evaluated in a 15-month study (March 200 = T1 to June
2007 = T2). One questionnaire and one protocol describe the CATs and provided support. Two questionnaires were
employed at T1 and T2 for evaluation of the intervention in everyday settings.
3.
RESULTS:
The participants tried 74 CATs, with weekly schedules, watches and weighted blankets being most highly
valued. Carrying out a daily routine was the most frequent support. More participants were working at T2 than at T1.
Frequency of performing and satisfaction with daily occupations as well as life satisfaction were stable over the one-
year period.
CONCLUSIONS:
The results indicate a higher frequency of participating in work but only a tendency of increased
subjectively experienced life satisfaction. However, to be of optimal usability, CAT requires individually tailored,
systematic and structured support by specially trained professionals. Implications for Rehabilitation Adults with ADHD
report an overall satisfaction with the cognitive assistive technology, particularly with low-technological products such
as weekly schedules and weighted blankets. Using cognitive assistive technology in everyday settings indicate a
higher frequency of participating in work, but only a tendency of increased subjectively experienced life satisfaction for
adults with ADHD. Prescription of cognitive assistive technology to adults with ADHD in everyday settings requires

Hvolby A; Bilenberg N.
Nordic Journal of Psychiatry. 65(2):89-94, 2011 Apr.
[Journal Article. Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't]
UI: 20662681
OBJECTIVES:
Based on actigraphic surveillance, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptom rating and
sleep diary, this study will evaluate the effect of Ball Blanket on sleep for a sample of 8-13-year-old children with
ADHD.
DESIGN:
Case-control study.
SETTING:
A child and adolescent psychiatric department of a teaching hospital.
PARTICIPANTS:
21 children aged 8-13 years with a diagnosis of ADHD and 21 healthy control subjects.
INTERVENTION:
Sleep was monitored by parent-completed sleep diaries and 28 nights of actigraphy. For 14 of those
days, the child slept with a Ball Blanket.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
The sleep latency, number of awakenings and total length of sleep was measured, as
was the possible influence on parent- and teacher-rated ADHD symptom load.
RESULTS:
The results of this study will show that the time it takes for a child to fall asleep is shortened when using a
Ball Blanket. The time it takes to fall asleep when using the Ball Blanket is found to be at the same level as the healthy
control subjects. Teacher rating of symptoms show an improvement in both activity levels and attention span of
approximately 10% after using the Ball Blankets.
CONCLUSIONS:
The results of this study show that the use of Ball Blankets is a relevant and effective treatment

method with regard to minimizing sleep onset latency. We find that the use of Ball Blankets for 14-days improves the
time it takes to fall asleep, individual day-to-day variation and the number of awakenings to a level that compares with
those found in the healthy control group. Furthermore, we find that the use of Ball Blankets significantly reduces the
number of nights that the ADHD child spends more than 30 min falling asleep from 19% to 0%.

Objective: The use of sensory rooms (also known as comfort rooms) to reduce seclusion rates has generated a great
deal of interest. This study examined the outcomes associated with the introduction of a sensory room in an acute
inpatient psychiatric unit. Method: Consumers rated distress and staff rated a variety of disturbed behaviours before
and after each use of the room. Items used during each episode were recorded. Results: Use of the room was
associated with significant reductions in distress and improvements in a range of disturbed behaviours. Those
individuals who used the weighted blanket reported significantly greater reductions in distress and clinician-rated
anxiety than those who did not. No changes were noted in rates of seclusion or aggression. Conclusions: The sensory
room was an effective intervention to ameliorate distress and disturbed behaviour, although this did not translate into
reductions in overall rates of seclusion or aggression. Weighted blankets appear to be particularly useful. (PsycINFO

The focus of this doctoral project is to create practical tools to help ensure the safe, client-centered use of weighted
blankets with adult mental health consumers. The American Occupational Therapy Association's (AOTA) Centennial
Vision focuses on occupational therapists taking a leadership role within their respective practice areas. Occupational
4.
therapists have the fundamental knowledge base necessary from which to take a leadership role in the national mental
health initiatives to help create a more nurturing, trauma-informed, and recovery focused system of care. Innovative
tools, such as weighted blankets, are being used within mental health care settings as part of this mission, although to
engage in evidence-based practice, competency-based staff training and more research are needed. This doctoral
project presents initial training, practice, and research tools from which to develop the weighted blanket competency-
training program, to help ensure weighted blankets are used appropriately and to continue to establish an evidence
base. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)

An integrated multidisciplinary approach to the design of therapeutic devices for people with mental illness and

Mullen, Brian A.
Dissertation Abstracts International: Section B: The Sciences and Engineering. Vol.70(12-B),2010, pp. 7812.
AN: Dissertation Abstract: 2010-99120-251.
This dissertation presents a systematic, integrated approach to the design and development of an evidence-based
sensory supportive assistive technology for people with mental illness. A systematic integrated design approach and a
set of modified design decision-making tools has been developed based on principles and theory of traditional
engineering and design of assistive technologies. Specifically, the research provides a vehicle to quickly and
successfully go from bench top to bedside and back by systematically integrating fundamental scientific discoveries,
market research, and technology research and development in a rigorous and traceable way. An evidence base for the
use of weighted blankets, weighted vests, and the novel deep pressure application system has been developed. Ten
IRB approved human subjects studies, including pilot studies, with approximately 250 human subject participants were
conducted. The studies collected a range of measures to explore safety, efficacy, function, design, research
methodologies, and in situ protocols. The populations studied included typical adults, acute mentally ill adults in a
locked mental health care facility, typical adults under stress, children with autism, and experts in the fields of research
5.
and use of DPTS modalities. These studies required the integration of multiple disciplines including engineering,
nursing, occupational therapy, psychology, speech language pathology, entrepreneurship, and marketing. Through the
implementation of the integrated design process and decision support tools, a novel deep pressure application system
was developed: DeePAD. DeePAD was based on the scientific findings, responses, and experience gained from
integrated clinical research studies. DeePAD has been verified to function in situ and has been verified to be
adoptable. The Braided design approach and modified Pugh's Method decision-making tools have resulted in the first
critical step from general design principles and guidelines to a systematic integrated and traceable early stage design
innovation methodology. This integrated multidisciplinary design approach has overcome the heterogeneity across
cognitive, social, behavioral, and communication domains of people with mental illness while providing a 'single user'
experience, thus reducing the risk of abandonment. This work is the first to provide design engineers a systematic,
integrated design approach to develop adoptable evidence-based sensory supportive assistive technologies for people
with mental illness and pervasive developmental disorders. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2015 APA, all rights
