Disease relevance of Psychophysiologic Disorders

• In order to explore the possibility of a mutually exclusive relationship between schizophrenia and certain psychosomatic disorders, 354 adult schizophrenic patients, both acute and chronic, were studied with regard to lifetime prevalence of peptic ulcer, bronchial asthma, neurodermatitis and rheumatoid arthritis [1].
• This study examined differences in the physiological and cognitive response patterns among peptic ulcer, rheumatoid arthritis, and healthy group subjects to two types of stressors-slides of autopsies and imagined scenes involving conflicts and attitudes proposed to be associated with the two psychosomatic disorders [2].
• This study reports lifetime prevalence of certain "psychosomatic disorders" in psychiatric patients in India. The "psychosomatic disorders" studied were peptic ulcer, bronchial asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, ischemic heart disease and irritable bowel syndrome [3].
• That Blacks are unable to cope with and sublimate a stressful "infertility" adequately is suggested as the aetiological factor which leads to the high incidence of this psychosomatic disorder in Blacks [4].
• The epidemiological triad of host, agent and environment used conceptually in infectious disease may serve as a model for psychosomatic disorders, despite the involvement of many more variables [5].

Psychiatry related information on Psychophysiologic Disorders

• This data suggests that Qi therapy combined with conventional treatment has positive effects in reducing and managing the pain, psychosomatic disorders, and substance abuse in patients with Agent Orange Sequelae [6].

High impact information on Psychophysiologic Disorders

• A survey battery assessed the effects of caffeine, incidence of psychophysiological disorders, state-trait anxiety, and depression [7].
• Juvenile Kearns-Sayre syndrome initially misdiagnosed as a psychosomatic disorder [8].
• The risk for psychiatric and psychosomatic disorders was higher than expected in patients with childhood-onset epilepsy, regardless of whether or not they were still receiving antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) [9].
• It is suggested that neurophysiological hypotheses may be more useful for understanding psychosomatic processes and specifically that disturbances in the function of the palleostriatral dopamine tract are related to psychosomatic disorders [10].
• Nonpeptide corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor type 1 antagonists and their applications in psychosomatic disorders [11].

Chemical compound and disease context of Psychophysiologic Disorders

• 4 Clobazam was shown to be an efficacious and well tolerated anxiolytic agent in various neurotic and psychosomatic disorders [12].
• 1. A number of controlled as well as uncontrolled studies indicate that flupenthixol in a low-dose regimen is effective in treating syndromes with depression, anxiety, and psychosomatic disorders [13].
• 3. Flupenthixol decanoate i.m. induced remission in 25% of patients suffering from chronic pain, in 29% of patients with psychosomatic disorders [13].
• A study on physiological changes in certain psychosomatic disorders with reference to cortisol, blood glucose and lipid profile [14].
• Psychosomatic disorders in general practice: comparisons of treatment with flupenthixol, diazepam and sulpiride [15].

Biological context of Psychophysiologic Disorders

• Efficacy and tolerability of flupenthixol decanoate in the treatment of depression and psychosomatic disorders: a multicenter trial in general practice [13].
