[Somatoform disorders in ulcers].

We studied correlations between psychoemotional and vegetative disorders in ulcer. 60 patients with ulcer varying in severity were examined. The severity was judged by the disease history, endoscopic and x-ray findings. Emotional and personality characteristics were evaluated by answers in special questionnaires, vegetative deviations were studied with special tests, scale, cardiointervalogram. It was found that more severe course of ulcer correlated with growing vegetative dysfunction. The progressive ulcer course ran with predominance of sympathetic autonomic nervous system and is accompanied with marked psychoemotional tension and development of anxiodepressive personality traits.
