Weighted Blanket Use: A Systematic Review.
Eron K, Kohnert L, Watters A, Logan C, Weisner-Rose M, Mehler PS. Eron K, et al. Am J Occup Ther. 2020 Mar/Apr;74(2):7402205010p1-7402205010p14. doi: 10.5014/ajot.2020.037358. Am J Occup Ther. 2020. PMID: 32204779
However, the research related to the use and effectiveness of weighted blankets is sparse. OBJECTIVE: To identify, evaluate, and synthesize the current literature to help develop the impetus needed to launch a research study into the effectiveness of using weighted blan …

The emperor has no blanket!
Raja V, Baggs E, Chemero A, Anderson ML. Raja V, et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2022 Sep 29;45:e204. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X22000243. Behav Brain Sci. 2022. PMID: 36172752
s analysis of the differences between Markov blankets and Friston blankets, we think it is not carried out to its ultimate consequences. There are reasons to think that, once Friston blankets are accepted as a theoretical construct, they do not do the work pr …

Enough blanket metaphysics, time for data-driven heuristics.
Rorot W, Korbak T, Litwin P, Miłkowski M. Rorot W, et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2022 Sep 29;45:e206. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X22000280. Behav Brain Sci. 2022. PMID: 36172760
We strengthen their points, arguing that Friston blanket discovery, even if tractable, requires a full formal description of the system of interest at the outset. Hence, blanket metaphysics is futile, and we postulate that researchers should turn back to heuristic u …

Weighted Blanket: An Anxiety Reduction Tool in the Outpatient Oncology Infusion Setting.

A weighted blanket increases pre-sleep salivary concentrations of melatonin in young, healthy adults.
Meth EMS, Brandão LEM, van Egmond LT, Xue P, Grip A, Wu J, Adan A, Andersson F, Pacheco AP, Uvnäs-Moberg K, Cedernaes J, Benedict C. Meth EMS, et al. J Sleep Res. 2023 Apr;32(2):e13743. doi: 10.1111/jsr.13743. Epub 2022 Oct 3. J Sleep Res. 2023. PMID: 36184925
Weighted blankets have emerged as a potential non-pharmacological intervention to ease conditions such as insomnia and anxiety. ...No other significant differences were found between the blanket conditions, including subjective sleepiness and total sleep duration. O …

A continuity of Markov blanket interpretations under the free-energy principle.
Seth A, Korbak T, Tschantz A. Seth A, et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2022 Sep 29;45:e208. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X2200036X. Behav Brain Sci. 2022. PMID: 36172769
Bruineberg and colleagues helpfully distinguish between instrumental and ontological interpretations of Markov blankets, exposing the dangers of using the former to make claims about the latter. However, proposing a sharp distinction neglects the value of recognising a con …

Causal surgery under a Markov blanket.
Yon D, Corlett PR. Yon D, et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2022 Sep 29;45:e218. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X22000218. Behav Brain Sci. 2022. PMID: 36172770
Bruineberg et al. provide compelling clarity on the roles Markov blankets could (and perhaps should) play in the study of life and mind. However, here we draw attention to a further role blankets might play: as a hypothesis about cognition itself. People and other a …

Weighted Blanket Use as an Alternative to Protective Stabilization During Moderate Sedation.
McBeain M, Malone S, Jones RS. McBeain M, et al. Pediatr Dent. 2022 Sep 15;44(5):340-344. Pediatr Dent. 2022. PMID: 36309778
Conclusions: An increase in age and weighted blanket use was associated with a reduction in the occurrence of protective stabilization during moderate sedation dental visits at the university pediatric dental clinic. Clinical practice sedation protocols should consider wei …

Lauronen SL, Kalliovalkama J, Aho A, Mäkinen MT, Huhtala H, Yli-Hankala AM, Kalliomäki ML. Lauronen SL, et al. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand. 2023 Sep;67(8):1102-1109. doi: 10.1111/aas.14283. Epub 2023 May 28. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand. 2023. PMID: 37246242 Clinical Trial.
There is, however, a lack of evidence that pre-warming with a self-warming (SW) blanket can reduce the incidence of perioperative hypothermia. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an SW blanket and a forced-air warming (FAW) blanket peri-operative …
