本研究调查的影响四个不同的图像技术:愉快的意象和富有想象力的转换、图像和响应与刺激。人们可能认为想象力比愉快的图像变换更有效。响应富有想象力的转换应该比刺激想象力的转换,更有效而愉快的图像条件不会有不同的影响。2 x2设计、治疗状况进行比较。40例(33岁女性,七雄)与不同类型的慢性头痛被称为他们的医生和参加了这项研究。疼痛日记和问卷的痛苦体验和疼痛行为作为结果的措施。富有想象力的转换——无论反应或刺激取向——被发现是在减少头痛频率比愉快的图像更有效。减少在八个月随访保持稳定。有反应和刺激图像之间没有显著差异。治疗效果表现在减少头痛频率,虽然头痛持续时间和头痛强度没有变化。 Suffering and avoidance behaviours were reduced in all treatment groups, while the use of distraction strategies was increased. The reductions in suffering were significantly greater in the groups treated with imaginative transformations. In the eight-month follow-up, group differences in reductions in suffering were no longer significant, which is probably due to the reduced sample size. The results support the hypothesis that a cognitive redefinition is responsible for the beneficial treatment effects because only instructions to imagine a change in pain sensations and/or pain responses led to significant improvements.
