Movement disorders such as disturbances of fine motor co-ordination are a frequent phenomenon in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Our aim was to investigate changes of hand-motor dysfunction in OCD patients under the influence of 10-week treatment with sertraline and behaviour therapy.
We examined the performance of 40 patients satisfying DSM-IV criteria for OCD before and under this therapy using a digitising tablet and kinematic analysis of handwriting and drawing movements. Forty healthy controls were also tested (test-retest interval: 10 weeks).
The speed of drawing was significantly lower in OCD patients than in controls (mean+/-standard deviation=197.03+/-113.26 mm/s for patients and 182.48+/-189.61 mm/s for controls; P=0.01). After 10 weeks of therapy, this parameter normalised in patients (from 197.03+/-113.26 mm/s to 163.66+/-101.92 mm/s; P=0.001).
Hand-motor dysfunction (especially bradykinesia) improves with a serotonin-enhancing therapy in OCD patients.
运动障碍,如精细运动协调障碍,在强迫症(OCD)患者中是一种常见现象。
我们的目的是研究在接受10周舍曲林治疗和行为疗法的影响下,强迫症患者手部运动功能障碍的变化。
我们使用数位板以及对手写和绘图动作进行运动学分析,对40名符合DSM-IV强迫症标准的患者在治疗前和治疗期间进行了检查。还对40名健康对照者进行了测试(重测间隔:10周)。
强迫症患者的绘图速度显著低于对照组(患者的平均值±标准差=197.03±113.26毫米/秒,对照组为182.48±189.61毫米/秒;P=0.01)。经过10周治疗后,该参数在患者中恢复正常(从197.03±113.26毫米/秒降至163.66±101.92毫米/秒;P=0.001)。
强迫症患者的手部运动功能障碍(尤其是运动迟缓)通过血清素增强疗法得到改善。
