This study examined mental defeat and cognitive flexibility scores in patients with panic disorder (PD) before and after cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and compared them to those of a gender- and age-matched healthy control group.
Results: Patients with PD (n = 15) received 16 weekly individual CBT sessions, and the control group (n = 35) received no treatment.
Article Synopsis
- A pilot study in Japan assessed the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a 16-week cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program for treating panic disorder among 15 participants.
- Results showed a significant reduction in panic disorder symptoms, with an average drop of 6.6 points on the Panic Disorder Severity Scale and 66.7% of participants achieving at least a 40% improvement.
- The study suggests that CBT may be beneficial in Japanese clinical settings, but further randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings.
