The appearance of frontal midline theta activity (Fmθ), recognized as distinct EEG theta rhythm in the frontal midline area during performance of a mental task, reflects feelings of relief from anxiety in humans. In the present study, EEGs were recorded, and the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety and the state anxiety scale of Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were evaluated once a week in 28 patients with generalized anxiety disorder. The Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale and the trait anxiety scale of Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were used to assess anxiety before and after the tests. The present results suggest that the appearance of Fmθ might be closely related to an improvement in the anxiety symptoms associated with generalized anxiety disorder.
额中线θ活动（Fmθ）的出现，即在执行心理任务时在额中线区域被识别为独特的脑电图θ节律，反映了人类焦虑缓解的感觉。在本研究中，对28名广泛性焦虑症患者每周记录一次脑电图，并评估汉密尔顿焦虑量表和斯皮尔伯格状态-特质焦虑量表的状态焦虑量表。使用泰勒显性焦虑量表和斯皮尔伯格状态-特质焦虑量表的特质焦虑量表来评估测试前后的焦虑情况。目前的结果表明，Fmθ的出现可能与广泛性焦虑症相关焦虑症状的改善密切相关。
