Avaliação da efetividade de um modelo da terapia cognitivo-comportamental em grupos para transtorno de ansiedade social: ensaio clínico randomizado / Evaluation of the effectiveness of a Cognitive-Behavioral Group Therapy for Social Anxiety Disorder: Randomized Clinical TrialPalma, Priscila de Camargo 08 June 2017 (has links)
O Transtorno de Ansiedade Social (TAS) consiste em um medo acentuado e persistente de situações sociais ou de desempenho nas quais o indivíduo poderia sentir vergonha. Dentre os transtornos de ansiedade, o TAS é um dos mais prevalecentes, sendo considerado o quinto transtorno mais incapacitante, contudo, a busca por tratamento é muito baixa. Diferentes estudos clínicos randomizados evidenciam que a TCCG apresenta resultados satisfatórios e duradouros, sendo considerada padrão ouro de intervenção para TAS, porém, ainda assim, uma parcela de pacientes com TAS não respondem ao tratamento. Assim sendo, o objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar o efeito de uma intervenção em grupo de exposição com alto custo social em pacientes com TAS sobre variáveis psicológicas e também sobre a qualidade de memória. A intervenção utilizada nesse estudo foi a proposta por Hofmann e Otto (2008). Dentre as variáveis psicológicas estudadas foram avaliadas mudanças em sintomas de ansiedade social, ansiedade, medo da avaliação negativa, esquiva e desconforto social, depressão e sintomas de transtornos psiquiátricos comuns. Participaram desse estudo 58 adultos, compondo três grupos experimentais diferentes: o grupo de comparação sem TAS, que consiste em participantes sem sintomas clínicos, o grupo de comparação com TAS, que são participantes portadores de TAS os quais não realizaram a intervenção durante a pesquisa (grupo lista de espera) e o grupo de portadores de TAS participaram da intervenção (grupo TCCG). Um pesquisador independente ao estudo realizou a distribuição aleatória dos participantes com TAS entre os grupos TCCG e lista de espera. Foram realizadas avaliações no pré e pós-teste através do Inventário de Fobia Social (SPIN), Inventários de Ansiedade e Depressão de Beck (BAI e BDI-II), Escala de Medo da Avaliação Negativa (FNE), Escala de Esquiva e Desconforto Social (SADS), Questionário sobre a saúde do paciente (PHQ-9), Questionário de Autorrelato (SRQ) e teste de falsas memórias. Assim, os resultados encontrados evidenciam que a intervenção alcançou redução significativa nos sintomas de ansiedade social, ansiedade geral, depressão e sintomas de transtornos mentais comuns, mostrando que foi uma intervenção efetiva. Além disso, os escores relacionados à ansiedade geral, depressão e sintomas de transtornos mentais comuns, após a intervenção foram equiparados com o escore obtidos pelo grupo de participantes saudáveis, evidenciando a excelente eficácia do processo de intervenção. A eficácia também pode ser constatada a partir da mensuração do tamanho de efeito grande encontrado no estudo relacionado ao principal instrumento de avaliação de TAS utilizado (SPIN), ou seja, esse estudo evidenciou que a forma psicoterápica utilizada atingiu o objetivo esperado da intervenção considerada padrão ouro. No que concerne às medidas relacionadas à qualidade de memória, a hipótese inicial relacionava-se à teoria de que os indivíduos ansiosos sociais apresentariam um número maior de falsas memórias e/ou uma redução de memórias verdadeiras, porém essa hipótese não foi confirmada. / Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) consists of a marked and persistent fear of social or performance situations in which the individual could feel shame. Among the anxiety disorders, SAD is one of the most prevalent, considered the fifth most disabling disorder, however, the search for treatment is very low. Different randomized clinical trials show that Cognitive-Behavioral Group Therapy (CBGT) presents satisfactory and long-lasting results, which is considered the gold standard of intervention for SAD, however, a portion of patients with SAD do not respond to treatment. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of a group intervention related to high social cost exposure in patients with SAD about psychological variables and memory quality. The intervention used in this study was proposed by Hofmann and Otto (2008). Among the psychological variables studied changes in symptoms of social anxiety, anxiety, fear of negative evaluation, avoidance and social discomfort, depression and symptoms of common psychiatric disorders were evaluated. Fifty-five adults participated in this study, composing three different experimental groups: the comparison group without SAD, which consists of participants without clinical symptoms, the comparison group with SAD, participants with SAD who did not receive intervention during the research (Waitlist control condition), and the group of SAD patients who participated in the intervention. An independent researcher to study distributed randomly the participants with SAD between CBGT or Waitlist condition. Assessments were made at pre and post-test using Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), Fear of Negative Evaluation (FNE), Social Avoidance and Distress Scale (SADS), Patient Health-Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ), and false memories test in the three groups. The results showed that the intervention achieved a significant reduction in the symptoms of social anxiety, general anxiety, depression and symptoms of common mental disorders, showing that it was an effective intervention. In addition, the scores related to general anxiety, depression and common mental disorder symptoms after the intervention were similar to the scores obtained by the group of healthy participants, evidencing the excellent efficacy of the intervention process. Efficacy can also be seen from the measurement of the large effect size found in the study evaluated by the main evaluation instrument of SAD used (SPIN), this study achieved the expected goal of the gold standard considered intervention. Concerning measures related to memory quality, the initial hypothesis was that social anxious individuals would present a greater number of false memories and / or a reduction of true memories, but this hypothesis was not confirmed.

The many faces of social anxiety disorderWittchen, Hans-Ulrich 01 February 2013 (has links) (PDF)
Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is one of the most prevalent anxiety disorders, affecting 7-13% of subjects in the community at some time in their lives. Despite being eminently treatable, it remains largely under-recognised and, therefore, undertreated. The disorder is characterized by a fear of scrutiny by others, with sufferers experiencing excessive anxiety in social and performance situations. This excessive anxiety usually leads to avoidance behaviour that can severely affect normal daily living. With onset commonly occurring during childhood or adolescence, social anxiety disorder may disrupt normal patterns of development of social and personal relationships, often having a long-term impact on emotional stability in social or working life. If left untreated, the course of social anxiety disorder is frequently complicated with comorbid conditions, particularly major depression or substance abuse. This review assesses the size of the clinical problem by evaluating current and lifetime prevalence estimates, age of onset, risk factors and evolution of the clinical course; thereby providing the rationale for early recognition and prompt treatment.

Associations of familial risk factors with social fears and social phobia: evidence for the continuum hypothesis in social anxiety disorder?Knappe, Susanne, Beesdo, Katja, Fehm, Lydia, Lieb, Roselind, Wittchen, Hans-Ulrich 20 February 2013 (has links) (PDF)
We examined parental psychopathology and family environment in subthreshold and DSM-IV threshold conditions of social anxiety disorder (SAD) in a representative cohort sample of 1,395 adolescents. Offspring and parental psychopathology was assessed using the DIAX/ M-CIDI; recalled parental rearing and family functioning via questionnaire. Diagnostic interviews in parents were supplemented by family history reports from offspring. The cumulative lifetime incidence was 23.07% for symptomatic SAD, and 18.38 and 7.41% for subthreshold and threshold SAD, respectively. The specific parent-tooffspring association for SAD occurred for threshold SAD only. For subthreshold and threshold SAD similar associations were found with other parental anxiety disorders, depression and substance use disorders. Parental rearing behaviour, but not family functioning, was associated with offspring threshold SAD, and although less strong and less consistent, also with subthreshold SAD. Results suggest a continued graded relationship between familial risk factors and offspring SAD. Parental psychopathology and negative parental styles may be used defining high-risk groups to assign individuals with already subthreshold conditions of SAD to early intervention programs.

The Role of Parental Psychopathology and Family Environment for Social Anxiety Disorder in the First Three Decades of LifeKnappe, Susanne, Lieb, Roselind, Beesdo, Katja, Fehm, Lydia, Low, Nancy Chooi Ping, Gloster, Andrew T., Wittchen, Hans-Ulrich 10 July 2013 (has links) (PDF)
Background. To examine the role of parental psychopathology and family environment for the risk of social anxiety disorder (SAD) in offspring from childhood to early adulthood, covering an observational period of 10 years.
Method. A community sample of 1,395 adolescents (aged 14 to 17 years at baseline) was prospectively followed-up over the core high risk period for SAD onset. DSM-IV offspring and parental psychopathology was assessed using the Munich-Composite International Diagnostic Interview; direct diagnostic interviews in parents were supplemented by family history reports from offspring. Parental rearing was assessed by the Questionnaire of Recalled Rearing Behavior in offspring, family functioning by the McMaster Family Assessment Device in parents.
Results. Parental SAD was associated with the offspring’s risk to develop SAD (OR = 3.3, 95%CI: 1.4-8.0). Additionally, other parental anxiety disorders (OR = 2.9, 95%CI: 1.4-6.1), depression (OR = 2.6, 95%CI: 1.2-5.4) and alcohol use disorders (OR = 2.8, 95%CI: 1.3-6.1) were associated with offspring SAD. Offspring’s reports of parental overprotection, rejection and lack of emotional warmth, but not parental reports of family functioning were associated with offspring SAD. Analyses of interaction of parental psychopathology and parental rearing indicated combined effects on the risk for offspring SAD.
Conclusions. These findings extend previous results in showing that both parental psychopathology and parental rearing are consistently associated with the risk for offspring SAD. As independent and interactive effects of parental psychopathology and parental rearing may have already manifested in early adolescence, these factors appear crucial and promising for targeted prevention programs.

Subjecffve effects of cannabidiol in anxiety disorder and canabinoid excretion in chronic daily cannabis smokers during sustained abstinence / Efeitos comportamentais do cannabiol na ansiedade e eliminação de canabinóide durante abstinência em usuários crônicos de cannabisMateus Machado Bergamaschi 16 October 2012 (has links)
This dissertation is divided into three parts. The first part aimed to investigate the cannabidiol anxiolytic effect in treatment-naïve individuals with social anxiety disorder through simulation of public speaking. Twenty-four never-treated social anxiety disorder subjects were allocated to receive 0 or 600 mg cannabidiol (CBD; n=12) in a double-blind randomized design. The same number of controls performed the simulation of a public speaking test without receiving any medication. Pretreatment with CBD significantly reduced anxiety, cognitive impairment, and discomfort in speech performance and significantly decreased alertness in their anticipatory speech. The placebo group displayed higher anxiety, cognitive impairment, discomfort, and alertness when compared with controls as assessed with the Visual Analogue Mood Scale (VAMS). The SSPS-N scores showed significant increases during testing of the placebo group that was almost abolished in the cannabidiol group. No significant differences were observed between the cannabidiol and control groups in SSPS-N scores or in cognitive impairment, discomfort, and alertness factors of the VAMS. The second part evaluated healthy subjects\' x y during a public speaking test following a high rimonabant oral dose, to understand better the possible pharmacological approaches for anxiety disorder treatment. Twenty four participants were randomly allocated to receive 0 or 90 mg rimonabant (n=12) in a double-blind design. No significant adverse effects were reported in either group. Participants who received rimonabant showed increased anxiety levels compared to placebo during anticipatory speech and performance measurements. Rimonabant treatment did not affect sedation, cognitive impairment, discomfort, blood pressure, heart rate, self-statements during public speaking, or bodily symptoms scales. Increased anxiety may reflect lower endocannabinoid activity in CB1 receptors and CB1 p \' possible role in modulation of anxiety and anxiety disorders. The third part aimed to monitor cannabinoid blood concentrations during sustained abstinence from chronic daily cannabis smoking. Thirty male chronic daily cannabis smokers resided on a secure clinical research unit for up to 33 days, with blood collected once daily. ?9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), 11-hydroxy-THC (11-OH-THC), and 11-nor-9-carboxy-THC (THCCOOH) whole blood concentrations were quantified by two-dimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Twenty-seven of 30 participants were THC-positive on admission, with a median (range) concentration 1.4 ng/mL (0.3-6.3). THC decreased gradually with only 1 of 11 participants negative at 26 days; 2 of 5 participants remained THC-positive (0.3 ng/mL) for 30 days. 5.0% f p p h TH >=1 0 g/ L f 12 y M 11-OH-THC w 1 1 g/ L w h >=1 0 g/ L 24h THCCOOH detection rates were 96.7 on admission, decreasing slowly to 95.7 and 85.7% on days 8 and 22, respectively; four of 5 participants remained THCCOOH positive (0.6-2.7 ng/mL) after 30 days and one remained positive on discharge at 33 days. THC was quantified in some participants for 30 days, albeit in low concentrations, due to the large cannabinoid body burden from extended exposure / Esta tese é dividida em três partes. A primeira parte consiste em investigar o efeito ansiolítico do canabidiol na ansiedade social através do teste de simulação de falar em público. Vinte e quatro sujeitos com ansiedade social, nunca tratados, receberam placebo ou canabidiol (CBD) 600 mg (n=12) em um estudo randomizado e duplo-cego. O mesmo número de indivíduos saudáveis realizaram o teste de simulação de falar em público sem receber medicação. A administração do CBD reduziu significativamente a ansiedade, sedação física e outros sentimentos e atitudes durante a fase de estresse, e diminui o nível de alerta na fase pré-estresse. O grupo placebo apresentou níveis elevado de ansiedade, sedação física, outros sentimentos e atitudes, e alerta comparado com o grupo controle. A pontuação do SSPS-N evidenciou aumento significativo durante o teste no grupo placebo, enquanto que o CBD reduziu estes níveis. Não houve diferenças significativas entre os grupos CBD e controle na SSPS-N e nos fatores sedação física, outros sentimentos e atitudes e alerta, da Visual Analogue Mood Scale (VAMS). A segunda parte do estudo avaliou a ansiedade em indivíduos saudáveis que receberam alta dose oral de rimonabanto e submetidos ao teste de simulação de falar em público, para melhor entendimento do possível mecanismo farmacológico para tratamento de transtornos de ansiedade. Vinte e quatro sujeitos saudáveis receberam placebo ou rimonabanto 90 mg (n=12) em um randomizado e duplo-cego. Não foi observado efeitos adversos significativo em ambos grupos. O grupo rimonabanto apresentou maiores níveis de ansiedade na fase pré-estresse e durante o estresse. Não houve diferença significativa quanto aos demais fatores avaliados entre os grupos. O aumento na ansiedade após administração do rimonabanto pode-se ao fato de haver diminuição no sistema endocanabinóide nos receptores CB1 e a possível modulação na ansiedade clínica e patológica. A terceira parte objetivou quantificar canabinóides no sangue total em usuários crônicos de cannabis durante abstinência supervisionada. Trinta usuários crônicos de cannabis, do sexo masculino, permaneceram no centro de pesquisa por até 33 dias, com coleta de sangue uma vez ao dia. ?9-tetrahidrocanabinol (THC), 11-hidróxi-THC (11-OH-THC) e 11-nor-9-carbóxi-THC (THCCOOH) foram quantificados no sangue por meio da cromatografia gasosa-espectrometria de massa bidimensional. Vinte e sete de 30 usuários foram positivos para THC no ingresso do estudo, com concentração mediana (variação) de 1.4 ng/mL (0.3-6.3). Níveis de THC diminuíram gradativamente com somente 1 de 11 participantes negativo no dia 26; 2 de 5 indivíduos permaneceram positivos para THC (0.3 g/ L p 30 5 0% j TH >=1 0 g/ L p 12 ç mediana de 11-OH-TH f 1 1 g/ L g >=1 0 g/ L pó 24h. A taxa de detecção de THCCOOH foi 96.7% no ingresso, diminuindo gradativamente para 95.7 e 85.7% nos dias 8 e 22, respectivamente; 4 de 5 sujeitos permaneceram positivo para THCCOOH (0.6-2.7 ng/mL) após 30 dias e um permaneceu positivo no 33º dia. Foi detectado THC em alguns indivíduos por 30 dias, porém em baixas concentrações, devido a extensa eliminação do canabinóide em decorrência da exposição crônica

Eficácia da terapia cognitiva processual no tratamento do transtorno de ansiedade social: avaliação de um ensaio clínico randomizado / Efficacy of trial-based cognitive therapy at treatment of social anxiety disorder: a randomized clinical trialKátia Alessandra de Souza Caetano 15 March 2017 (has links)
Diferentes ensaios clínicos randomizados demonstram que a Terapia Cognitivo-Comportamental (TCC) é muito efetiva no tratamento do Transtorno de Ansiedade Social (TAS). Entretanto, uma quantidade significativa de pacientes não apresentam melhora após a finalização da intervenção com TCC. Tal dado indica a necessidade de desenvolver novas estratégias de tratamento para o TAS. A Terapia Cognitiva Processual (TCP) é uma nova abordagem dentro do campo da TCC que tem como principal objetivo auxiliar os pacientes a identificar e modificar suas crenças centrais disfuncionais, sendo o Processo uma das principais técnicas utilizadas. Algumas pesquisas têm demonstrado a efetividade do Processo no tratamento do TAS e de outros transtornos psiquiátricos. Entretanto, novas pesquisas são necessárias para avaliação não somente de tal técnica, mas de todo o protocolo de intervenção da TCP. Esta pesquisa objetivou avaliar se participantes que receberam uma intervenção individual em TCP apresentam diferenças em relação a sintomas de ansiedade social, medo da avaliação negativa, esquiva e desconforto social, ansiedade, depressão, sofrimento psíquico, distorções cognitivas e viés atencional. Este é um ensaio clínico randomizado que comparou um grupo que recebeu intervenção em TCP e um grupo lista de espera no tratamento do TAS. O estudo apresenta três grupos de pesquisa: o TCP (n =18), o lista de espera (n =21) e o saudável (n =19). Um pesquisador independente ao estudo realizou a distribuição aleatória dos participantes com TAS entre os grupos TCP e lista de espera. Foram realizadas avaliações no pré e pós-teste através de diferentes escalas de auto-relato e do teste de Stroop emocional. Adicionalmente, o grupo TCP respondeu tais escalas a cada quatro sessões. O tratamento foi realizado em 16 sessões com duração de 1h30min cada utilizando a TCP no formato individual. Houve uma redução significativa nos sintomas de ansiedade social, ansiedade, depressão, esquiva e desconforto social, e sofrimento psíquico no grupo TCP ao longo do tratamento (p < 0,05). Tais reduções foram associadas a tamanhos de efeito grandes. Não foram observadas mudanças em nenhum dos instrumentos utilizados no grupo lista de espera (p > 0,05). Houve ainda uma significativa redução no medo da avaliação negativa após a utilização do Processo no grupo tratado, além de uma redução em distorções cognitivas (p < 0,05). Não foram observadas diferenças no pré e pós-teste em relação ao viés atencional nos três grupos da pesquisa (p > 0,05). Este estudo sugere que a TCP pode ser uma nova abordagem clínica efetiva no tratamento do TAS associado à diferentes comorbidades, haja vista que houve uma redução em sintomas de ansiedade social e sintomas comórbidos / Different randomized clinical trials show that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is highly effective in the treatment of Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). However, a large number of patients do not show improvement after receiving CBT. This indicates that it is important to develop new treatments for SAD. Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy (TBCT) is a new approach within the field of CBT area. It aims to help patients to identify and to modify their dysfunctional core beliefs. One of the main TBCT techniques proposed by TBCT is the Trial. Some research studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Trial in the treatment of SAD, and other disorders. However, further investigation is needed to firmly establish the efficacy not just for the Trial technique, but also the TBCT approach as a treatment for SAD and other disorders. This research aims to evaluate wheter SAD participants receiving TBCT individual-sessions differ from a SAD waiting list group condition regarding symptoms of social anxiety, fear of negative evaluation, social avoidance and distress, anxiety, depression, mental suffering, and attentional bias. This is a randomized clinical trial comparing TBCT and a Waitlist control condition for the treatment of SAD. The study has three groups: TBCT (n =18), Wailist (n =21), and healthy group (n =19). An independent researcher to study distributed randomly the participants with SAD between TBCT or Waitlist condition. Assessments were made at pre and post-test using several self-report scales, and the emotional Stroop test in the three groups. Additionaly, the TBCT group answered these scales each four sessions. The treatment was delivered in sixteen 1.5 hour sessions using the individual TBCT format. There were reductions in social anxiety, anxiety, depression, social avoidance and distress, and mental suffering symptoms at TBCT group (p < 0.05), but not in the Waitlist group (p > 0.05). Those reductions were associated with a large effect size. There was a significant reduction at fear of negative evaluation after Trial use, and reductions at cognitive distortions throughout the treatment as well (p < 0.05). There were no differences among the three groups regarding attentional bias at pre-test nor at post-test (p > 0.05). This study suggests that TBCT may be a new effective clinical approach to treat SAD associated with high rates of comorbidity, as there were significant reductions in the comorbid symptoms

Prediction of treatment response in Social Anxiety Disorder, what does the brain tell us that questionnaires do not? : Using brain activity related to self- and other-referential criticism to predict treatment response to Internet- delivered Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Social Anxiety DisorderIsacsson, Nils, Kolbeinsson, Örn January 2016 (has links)
Predicting who will benefit from what in the treatment of psychiatric disorders is incremental to future development of psychological treatments. In the current study functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from participants with social anxiety disorder (SAD) was used to elucidate whether neural responses to negative evaluation could predict treatment response in SAD. Nine weeks prior to Internet- delivered Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (ICBT) onset, participants viewed negative social stimuli directed either at themselves or an significant other during fMRI scanning. Regression analyses including the differential activations for other-referential criticism in contrast to self-referential criticism in the posterior mid cingulate cortex (pMCC) and the lingual gyrus (LG) predicted 34% of treatment change as measured by residual gain scores on the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale Self-Report (LSAS-SR) in our sample. The final regression model, combining these measures with behavioural measures, which by themselves explained 27% of the variance, resulted in a model explaining 50% of the variance regarding treatment response. This lends additional support to the notion that further elucidating the neurobiological underpinnings of core processes in SAD, as well as the neural correlates of treatment response to CBT, would be of great value in predicting treatment outcome.
