Respondents rated the effectiveness of each intervention on a 0 to 10 scale, with 10 being most effective The interventions perceived to be most effective (effectiveness rating ≥ 6.0) in descending order were: rest, heat modalities, prescription pain medications, prescription antidepressants, prescription sleep medications, prayer, massage, and pool therapy (Table 6).
The interventions perceived to be most effective (effectiveness rating ≥6.0) on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being most effective, were rest, (6.3 ± 2.5) (mean ± SD), heat modalities (6.3 ± 2.3), pain medication (6.3 ± 2.4), sleep medication (6.5 ± 2.7) and pool therapy (6.0 ± 3.0) [ 5].
Therapy outcome rating (0 10), satisfaction with therapy (0 10), and therapy effectiveness rating ("very effective, "effective", "less effective", "ineffective" or "not evaluable") were documented by the caregivers (effectiveness rating also by the physicians) after 6 and 12 months.
Patients' therapy effectiveness rating was positive ("very effective" or "effective") in 75.5% (157/208) of patients, and negative ("less effective", "ineffective" or "not evaluable") in 24.5%.
The patients' AAT/EYT/RMT effectiveness rating was positive ("very effective" or "effective") in 88% (66/75) of patients, and negative ("less effective", "ineffective" or "not evaluable") in 12%.
The caregivers' effectiveness rating of eurythmy, art or rhythmical massage therapy was positive ("very effective" or "effective") in 78.8% (n = 242/307) of evaluable patients who had started therapy, and negative ("less effective", "ineffective" or "not evaluable") in 21.2%.
The effectiveness rate was 100%, and the curative effect was 90.0% in the experimental group.
Physicians initiated effective empiric therapy in 150 of the 226 cases, for an effectiveness rate of 66%.
The sponges are hardly the most reliable method to prevent pregnancy -- their effectiveness rate is a relatively low 85percentto90percentcent.
This is a form of birth control that consistently demonstrates a ninety-five-per-cent effectiveness rate.
The effectiveness rates of influenza vaccine vary in part according to the age and health status of the individual.
