The impact of the prolonged Covid-19 pandemic on the practice of psychosomatic medicine in Japan
BACKGROUND: The prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the clinical care and the mental health of patients in psychosomatic medicine. Between late 2021 and early 2022, the Japanese Society of Psychosomatic Medicine (JSPM) and the Japanese Society of Psychosomatic Internal Medicine (JSPIM) conducted a nationwide physician survey to assess these effects. The survey identified difficulties in outpatient and inpatient care, increased …
Trends in the effect of Covid-19 on consultations for persons with clinical and subclinical eating disorders
BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has increased the risk of individuals developing eating disorders and has exacerbated existing eating disorders. This observational study investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients with clinical and subclinical eating disorders. METHODS: This study was conducted over a period of four years: two years before and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. We reco…
A multi-center, randomized, parallel-group study to compare the efficacy of enhanced cognitive behavior therapy (CBT-E) with treatment as usual (TAU) for anorexia nervosa
Background The superiority of Enhanced Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT-E) with regard to weight gain and improvement of psychopathology of eating disorders for patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) over other psychotherapies and treatment as usual (TAU) has not been demonstrated in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). However, a previous RCT showed that patients with AN whose baseline body mass index (BMI) was less than 17.5 kg/m 2 gained more weig…
A nationwide questionnaire survey of physicians regarding the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on patients and treatment system of psychosomatic medicine
BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the treatment system of medical institutions across the world. Studies of the populations and patients have reported mental health problems caused by the pandemic. However, there are few large-scale studies that have examined the effects of the COVID-19 on diseases from the perspective of psychosomatic medicine. The purpose of this study was to examine changes made to the p…
Very long chain fatty acids are an important marker of nutritional status in patients with anorexia nervosa
BACKGROUND: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a disease resulting in extreme weight loss. It is caused by multiple factors, including psychosocial, environmental, and genetic factors. A genetic abnormality affecting lipid metabolism has been recently reported in patients with AN. However, it is unknown whether lipid metabolism abnormalities in AN are caused by eating behavior, undernutrition, and/or genetic factors. The meaning of lipid metabolism in AN r…
Effectiveness of enhanced cognitive behavior therapy for bulimia nervosa in Japan
BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of psychotherapeutic interventions for eating disorders (EDs) is widely studied in Europe, North America, and Australia/New Zealand. However, few controlled studies and no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been conducted in Japan despite the relatively high prevalence of EDs in the Japanese population. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of enhanced cognitive behavior therapy (CBT-E), an evidence-s…
Cognitive behavioral therapy with interoceptive exposure and complementary video materials for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence of the treatment efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). CBT is recommended by several practice guidelines for patients with IBS if lifestyle advice or pharmacotherapy has been ineffective. Manual-based CBT using interoceptive exposure (IE), which focuses on the anxiety response to abdominal symptoms, has been reported to be more effective than other types of CBT. On…
Purging behaviors relate to impaired subjective sleep quality in female patients with anorexia nervosa
We examined how purging behaviors relate to subjective sleep quality and sleep patterns and how symptoms of disordered eating behaviors relate to global sleep quality in female patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). Participants were new consecutive female inpatients with a primary diagnosis of AN admitted to the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine at Kohnodai Hospital between June 26 and December 25, 2015. We recorded patients’ habitual eating be…
The outcome of treatment for anorexia nervosa inpatients who required urgent hospitalization
BACKGROUND: This study was done to determine which psychosocial factors are related to the urgent hospitalization of anorexia nervosa patients (AN) due to extremely poor physical condition and to evaluate their outcome after inpatient treatment. METHODS: 133 hospitalized AN patients were classified into an urgent hospitalization (n = 24) or a planned hospitalization (n = 109) group. Multiple regression analysis was done of clinical features, body…
The longitudinal BMI pattern and body composition of patients with anorexia nervosa who require urgent hospitalization
BACKGROUND: The prevention of serious physical complications in anorexia nervosa (AN) patients is important. The purpose of this study is to clarify which physical and social factors are related to the necessity for urgent hospitalization of anorexia nervosa (AN) patients in a long-term starvation state. We hypothesized that the change of longitudinal BMI, body composition and social background would be useful as an index of the necessity for urg…
Relation between psychosocial variables and the glycemic control of patients with type 2 diabetes
BACKGROUND: This cross-sectional and prospective study used a variety of psychological inventories to evaluate the relationship between psychosocial factors and the glycemic control of patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: Participants were 304 patients with type 2 diabetes who were treated as outpatients at diabetes clinics. All participants were assessed for HbA1c and completed the following self-report psychological inventories: 1) Diabetes …
Psychological and weight-related characteristics of patients with anorexia nervosa-restricting type who later develop bulimia nervosa
BACKGROUND: Patients with anorexia nervosa-restricting type (AN-R) sometimes develop accompanying bulimic symptoms or the full syndrome of bulimia nervosa (BN). If clinicians could predict who might change into the bulimic sub-type or BN, preventative steps could be taken. Therefore, we investigated anthropometric and psychological factors possibly associated with such changes. METHOD: All participants were from a study by the Japanese Genetic Re…
Psychopathological features of anorectic patients who dropped out of inpatient treatment as assessed by the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory
BACKGROUND: Anorexia nervosa often requires inpatient treatment that includes psychotherapeutic intervention in addition to physical and nutritional management for severe low body weight. However, such patients sometimes terminate inpatient treatment prematurely because of resistance to treatment, poor motivation for treatment, unstable emotions, and problematic behaviors. In this study, the psychopathological factors related to the personality o…
