Interventions for improving self-efficacy in patients after stroke based on self-efficacy-related principles of Bandura's cognition theory: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Interventional approaches based on Bandura's cognition theory are effective in improving self-efficacy poststroke. However, a systematical investigation for identifying effectives therapeutic components of the intervention has not yet been conducted.

Objective: This meta-analysis was conducted to systematically investigated the effects of interventions with different principles on improving self-efficacy after stroke.

Effects of virtual reality training on occupational performance and self-efficacy of patients with stroke: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Virtual reality (VR) has been broadly applied in post-stroke rehabilitation. However, studies on occupational performance and self-efficacy as primary outcomes of stroke rehabilitation using VR are lacking. Thus, this study aims to investigate the effects of VR training on occupational performance and self-efficacy in patients with stroke.

Effectiveness of hand-arm bimanual intensive training on upper extremity function in children with cerebral palsy: A systematic review.

Objective: To systematically review the effectiveness of Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Training (HABIT) on upper limb function in children with cerebral palsy.

Methods: Six databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and PsycINFO) were searched for HABIT-related studies published in English between 2007 and 2017. The methodological quality of the included studies was classified based on the Levels of Evidence of the American Occupational Therapy Association guidelines.

Effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on craving and substance consumption in patients with substance dependence: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background And Aims: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is increasingly used as an intervention for treating substance dependence. We aimed to assess evidence of the anti-craving and consumption-reducing effects of rTMS in patients with alcohol, nicotine and illicit drug dependence.

Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 26 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published from January 2000 to October 2018 that investigated the effects of rTMS on craving and substance consumption in patients with nicotine, alcohol and illicit drug dependence (n = 748).
