Methods: One hundred fourteen SAD patients completed manualized group CBT. We examined associations between the personality dimensions of NEO Five Factor Index (NEO-FFI) and the subscales of Symptom Checklist-90 Revised (SCL-90-R) in SAD patients after CBT using multiple regression analysis. Results: High levels of conscientiousness at baseline predicted symptom reduction on 4 SCL-90-R scales, including somatization, obsessive-compulsive, anxiety and global severity index in patients with SAD after CBT. And high levels of agreeableness predicted symptom reduction on 2 SCL-90-R scales, including Hostility and Paranoid Ideation. High levels of openness predicted psychoticism. Conclusion: The present study suggested that high levels of three NEO-FFI dimensions (openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness) might predict comorbid psychological symptoms reduction in SAD patients after CBT. For the purpose of improving comorbid psychological symptoms with SAD patients, it might be useful to pay more attention to these dimensions of NEO-FFI at baseline.展开更多

文摘目的 观察头穴丛刺长留针法治疗偏头痛的临床疗效。方法 将88例偏头痛患者随机分为观察组(44例,脱落2例)和对照组(44例,脱落3例)。观察组采用常规针刺联合头穴丛刺长留针法治疗,对照组采用常规针刺方法治疗。比较两组临床疗效,观察两组治疗前后的视觉模拟量表(visual analog scale, VAS)评分、偏头痛特异性生活质量问卷(migraine-specific quality of life questionnaire, MSQ)、血清5-羟色胺(5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT)浓度。结果 观察组总有效率为92.9%,高于对照组的78.0%,差异有统计学意义(P>0.05)。两组治疗后VAS评分较治疗前降低(P<0.05),两组随访时VAS评分较治疗前和治疗后降低(P<0.05);观察组治疗后及随访时,VAS评分均低于对照组(P<0.05)。两组治疗后MSQ评分较治疗前升高(P<0.05),两组随访时MSQ评分较治疗前和治疗后升高(P<0.05);观察组治疗后及随访时,MSQ评分均高于对照组(P<0.05)。两组治疗后血清5-HT浓度均升高,且观察组高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论 在常规针刺基础上,头穴丛刺长留针法治疗偏头痛临床疗效优于常规针刺方法,且在减轻偏头痛患者疼痛程度,改善其生活质量及提高5-HT浓度方面优于常规针刺方法。
