Ecological momentary assessment of the relation between affect and functional dizziness symptoms
Associations between dizziness symptoms and psychological factors have been reported, but evaluating this through questionnaires alone risks recall bias. In this study we used ecological momentary assessment to clarify the associations between positive affect (PA), negative affect (NA), and dizziness symptom severity in sample of patients with Chronic vestibular syndrome. Participants included 30 patients with CVS (16 with persistent postural per…
Lady Buddha, the Case of Dragon-Girl
One teaching of Mahāyāna Buddhism is that women cannot attain Buddhahood; if they wish to attain Buddhahood, they would have to be reborn as males and become Bodhisattvas. This idea can be said to be contemptuous to women. However, this is a mainstream view, and some sūtras state that women can become Buddhas without changing their sex, although they are few. I found passages in the Sanskrit manuscripts of the Lotus Sūtra that state that the drag…
Effect of central sensitization on dizziness-related symptoms of persistent postural-perceptual dizziness
BACKGROUND: Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is a chronic functional dizziness symptom triggered by psychological stress, but its pathophysiology is unknown. Central sensitization is considered the cause of functional diseases, such as medically unexplained symptoms, and is a psychosocially affected condition. However, the association between dizziness symptoms in PPPD and central sensitization remains unclear. Thus, we conducted a…
Utility and optimal cut-off point of the Somatic Symptom Scale-8 for central sensitization syndrome among outpatients with somatic symptoms and related disorders
BACKGROUND: Central sensitization syndrome (CSS) involves severe functional symptoms due to central sensitization. for patients with severe somatic symptoms and related disorders (SSRDs), central sensitization may be responsible for their functional symptoms. We hypothesized that screening for CSS in patients with SSRDs would identify those with severe disease. The Somatic Symptom Scale-8 (SSS-8) is a simple tool to assess medical conditions rela…
Effect of relaxation therapy on benzodiazepine use in patients with medically unexplained symptoms
Background The change in the benzodiazepine (BZD) use of patients with medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) following the application of relaxation therapy were examined. Methods Of the 221 outpatients with MUS using BZD, 42 received relaxation therapy. Change in BZD use was compared using a relaxation group ( n = 42) and a control group that had 84 MUS patients whose baseline was matched by optimal matching algorithms. Logistic regression analys…
