Brief summary

explore objective indicators of the efficacy of natural psychotherapy in the treatment of disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder

Detailed description

1. To evaluate the cognitive function, Cognitive control, emotion and other aspects of neurosis patients, and to understand and master the cognitive behavior indicators of this population. 2. Investigate the pathological mechanism of neurotic patients from the aspects of electroencephalic graph/functional magnetic resonance imaging (EEG/fMRI) and biology. 3. To investigate the therapeutic effect of natural psychotherapy on cognitive impairment and related mood, sleep and symptom intervention in neurotic patients. In order to achieve the symptoms of neurosis patients, cognitive impairment and related mood and sleep intervention and promotion, while providing a scientific basis for neurosis rehabilitation.

Interventions

Draw ideas from traditional Chinese culture, learn from the practice of Morita therapy in Japan, and create local practice experience. At the same time, a variety of research methods such as cognitive assessment and brain imaging were used to establish the scientific, professional and objective evaluation indexes of the therapy.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Obsessive-compulsive symptomsBaseline, 12 weeksObsessive-compulsive symptoms were assessed according to the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), The total score ranges from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms.
Cognitive functionBaseline, 12 weeksCognitive inhibition was assessed using the emotional color-word Stroop task. The emotional Stroop task is a type of being Widely used cognitive inhibition assessment tools. The longer the reaction time, the worse the cognitive inhibition ability.
Mood and behaviorBaseline, 12 weeksMood changes judged using gait and face recognition
ERP components associated with cognitive functionBaseline, 12 weeksTo explore the ERP component analysis related to cognitive inhibition and Behavioral inhibition in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) by event related potential (ERP) analysis
rest fMRI in Obsessive-compulsive patientsBaseline, 12 weeksThe changes of resting-state functional connectivity were analyzed in patients with OCD before and after intervention. Resting-state functional connectivity:FC(Functional connectivity). Resting-state functional brain imaging data were collected using a GE 3.0T magnetic resonance scanner (GE Discovery MR750) at the Brain Imaging Center, Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Behavioral inhibitionBaseline, 12 weeksbehavioral inhibition was assessed using the emotional stop signal task (SST). The emotional SST task is a type of being Widely used behavioral inhibition assessment tools. Among them, the greater the SSRT, the worse the behavioral inhibition ability.
