Core features of depersonalization/derealization disorder (DPD) are emotional numbing and feelings disembodiment. Although there several neurophysiological findings supporting subjective numbing, the psychobiology disembodiment remains unclear.Heartbeat-evoked potentials (HEPs), which considered psychophysiological indicators for cortical representation afferent signals originating from cardiovascular system, were assessed in 23 patients with DPD 24 healthy control individuals during rest...
Abstract Affective instability, conceptualized as fluctuations in mood over time, has been related to ill-health and psychopathology. In this study, we examined the role of affective instability on daily pain outcomes 70 patients with chronic (M age = 49.7 years; 46 females) using an end-of-day diary. During a baseline phase, completed self-reported questionnaires severity, duration, disability, depression, anxiety. subsequent diary filled out electronic 14 consecutive days assessing levels...
Objective: Altered interoception may play a major role in the etiology of medically unexplained symptoms (MUS). It remains unclear, however, if these alterations concern noticing signals or they are limited to interpretation signals. We investigated whether individuals with MUS differ interoceptive awareness as assessed Multidimensional Assessment Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) questionnaire. Methods: Study 1: A total 486 completed Screening for Somatoform Disorders (SOMS-2). Thirty-two each...
The neurophysiological processes involved in the generation of medically-unexplained symptoms (MUS) remain unclear. This study tested three assumptions perception-filter model contributing to MUS: (I.) increased bodily signal strength (II.) decreased filter function, (III.) perception. In this cross-sectional, observational study, trait MUS were assessed by a web-based survey (N = 486). upper and lower decile identified as extreme groups high (HSR; n 29; 26 women; Mage 26.0 years) low...
Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain and often accompanied cognitive emotional problems. Adaptation to fibromyalgia may therefore also rely on one's ability regulate In this study, we examined two indices of emotion regulation, that is, (a) affective instability, involving frequent large fluctuations in self-reported affect, (b) resting heart rate variability (HRV).Participants were 46 patients with (Mage = 45.4 years; 39 females) matched healthy controls 44.9 37...
Abstract Pain has the capacity to interfere with daily tasks. Although task interference by pain is largely unintentional, it can be controlled a certain extent. Such top-down control over been believed reduced in patients fibromyalgia (FM). In this study, we investigated and distraction efficacy FM matched healthy group. Forty-nine 49 volunteers performed as quickly possible (1) visual localization presence of nonpainful vibrating or painful electric somatic stimuli, (2) somatosensory...
To provide further insight into the presently poorly understood role of familial psychopathology in development eating disorders (ED).The present study assesses psychiatric and personality listed on Axis I II DSM-IV 27 mothers adolescent patients with anorexia (AN mothers) 14 bulimia nervosa (BN as well 22 mentally healthy girls (CG a categorical level. Furthermore, we conducted dimensional diagnostic regarding styles traits.AN BN showed increased rates disorders, especially affective,...
Fragestellung: Die Körperbildstörung (KBS) gilt als Kernmerkmal der Anorexia nervosa (AN). Jedoch werden Hinweise auf körperbildbezogene Störungen u. a. bei an Mukoviszidose (Cystische Fibrose, CF) erkrankten, oftmals untergewichtigen, Patientinnen gefunden. Pilotstudie soll zur Klärung Spezifität KBS für AN beitragen. Methodik: Es wurden 22 mit AN, 10 CF sowie 23 Kontrollprobandinnen hinsichtlich perzeptiven und kognitiv-affektiven Komponente untersucht essstörungsrelevante Psychopathologie...
