Biofeedback and Neurofeedback for Anxiety Disorders: A Quantitative and Qualitative Systematic Review

Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, 2020

Biofeedback refers to the operant training of physiological responding. Variants include electrom... more Biofeedback refers to the operant training of physiological responding. Variants include electromyography (EMG), electrodermal activity (EDA), skin temperature, heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV), respiratory biofeedback of end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2), electroencephalography (EEG) signal, and blood oxygen-level dependent signal using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This chapter presents a qualitative and quantitative systematic review of randomized controlled trials of biofeedback for anxiety disorders as defined by the 3rd through 5th editions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Meta-analytic results indicated that biofeedback (broadly defined) is superior to wait list, but has not been shown to be superior to active treatment conditions or to conditions in which patients are trained to change their physiological responding in a countertherapeutic direction. Thus, although biofeedback appears generally efficacious for anxiety disorders, the specific effects of biofeedback cannot be distinguished from nonspecific effects of treatment. Further, significant limitations were identified in the existing literature, with the majority receiving a "weak" rating according to Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP) rating system guidelines. Future directions for research are discussed.

Affective Styles in Panic Disorder and Specific Phobia: Changes Through Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Prediction of Remission

The aim of the current study was to investigate changes in affective styles in patients with panic disorder and specific phobia, as a result of undergoing cognitive-behavioral therapy, and to identify a possible link between certain affective styles and remission. The sample consisted of outpatients (N = 101) suffering from panic disorder, specific phobia, or agoraphobia who completed the Affective Style Questionnaire (ASQ) before and after therapy, as well as at a 6-month follow-up assessment. Multivariate analyses of variance were conducted to test for changes due to therapy. Logistic regression analyses were calculated to test for the impact of affective styles on remission from anxiety disorders, and hierarchical regression analyses were calculated to examine the association between changes in affective styles and symptom reduction. Results indicated significant increases on the ASQ subscales adjusting and tolerating after therapy. Concealing did not decrease significantly after therapy. In addition, higher scores on adjusting significantly predicted remission from anxiety disorders. Finally, we found a significant association between increases on the adjusting scale and the reduction of anxiety symptoms.

Therapist Interventions and Skills as Predictors of Dropout in Outpatient Psychotherapy

Patients were treated by postgraduate clinicians at a university outpatient clinic. Psychometric instruments were assessed at intake and therapeutic interventions and skills in the third session were routinely rated by independent observers. After variable preselection, an elastic net algorithm was used to build two dropout prediction models, one including and one excluding observer-rated session variables. The best model included observer-rated variables and was significantly superior to the model including intake variables only. Alongside intake variables, two observer-rated variables significantly predicted dropout: therapist use of feedback and summaries and treatment difficulty. Although not retained in the final prediction model, the observer-rated use of cognitive techniques was also significantly correlated with dropout. Observer ratings of therapist interventions and skills in early sessions of psychotherapy improve predictors of dropout from psychotherapy beyond intake variables alone. Future research could work toward personalizing dropout predictions to the specific dyad, thereby improving their validity and aiding therapists to recognize and react to increased dropout risk.

Una nueva Intervención multidimensional para la ansiedad social: el programa IMAS

Su nombre, Intervención multidimensional para la ansiedad social (IMAS), indica que gira alrededor de las cinco dimensiones que nuestro equipo de investigación encontró trabajando en ansiedad social con 20 países durante más de 15 años, como son: 1) Interacción con desconocidos, 2) Interacción con el sexo opuesto, 3) Expresión asertiva de molestia, desagrado o enfado, 4) Quedar en evidencia/Hacer el ridículo, y 5) Hablar en público/Interacción con personas de autoridad. Incorpora tanto técnicas tradicionales de la terapia cognitivo conductual como estrategias de las terapias de tercera generación. El programa IMAS se aplica en formato grupal a lo largo de 15 sesiones de tratamiento de 2,5 horas cada una, más una sesión de apoyo y las sesiones de evaluación pre/postratamiento y seguimiento. Creemos que en estos momentos constituye el mejor programa de tratamiento para la ansiedad social y en los próximos meses estaremos en disposición de demostrar esta afirmación.
