anxiety in people with coronary artery disease. Method: The statistical population of the present study was all patients referred to counseling and psychology centers in Tehran Region 5 in 2020. In the present study, 18 people were randomly selected from Nedaye Daroon Psychological Counseling Center and placed in two experimental and control groups. Participants were assessed using the Petersburg (1989) Beck Anxiety Inventory (1988) Sleep Quality Scale. The participants in the experimental group were then treated with neurofeedback for 15 one-hour sessions and the control group did not receive any training. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance. Results: The results showed that the differences between the control and experimental groups were effective in the components of sleep quality, sleep disorders, sleeping pills, and daily dysfunction. In other words, neurofeedback therapy reduced the scores of these components, but this treatment had an effect on other components. Was not significant and also the number of anxiety scores in the post-test of the experimental group decreased significantly. Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of neurofeedback therapy on increasing the quality of sleep and reducing anxiety in individuals, this treatment can be used in the form of treatment programs in coronary conditions.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determining the net effect and combined effect of two Mindful Breath awareness and Muscle Relaxation (MBMR) and Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES) techniques on improving the sleep quality of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method: The present study is a randomized, three-group, double-blind, clinical trial of mixed inter-intra-subject design. The sample of the study included 30 patients with type 2 diabetes who were purposefully selected from Bonab Diabetes Association and were randomly assigned to three groups of 10 people of MBMR, CES, and MBMR+CES and in 10 single sessions, they received their group related interventions. Patients sleep quality were evaluated in three stages: pre-test, post-test, and one-month follow-up, with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The collected data were analyzed by SPANOVA test, analysis of covariance and Bonferroni's post hoc test. Results: According to the results, all three interventions used were effective in reducing sleep problems over time. The most immediate effect occurred with the lowest stability for MBMR treatment, and the highest effect and stability of the effect occurred for MBMR+CES combined therapy. Conclusion: Therefore, the study found the combined application of two techniques, MBMR and CES (20 minutes, 100 µA and 0.5 Hz), to be effective and safe for rapid and stable sleep quality improvement in patients with type 2 diabetes.
