The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of cognitive-behavioral group therapy (CBGT) for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) over a 1-year follow-up period.
Forty-two OCD patients, who completed 12 sessions of CBGT, were followed for 1 year. Measures of the severity of symptoms were obtained at the end of the acute treatment and at 3, 6, and 12 months post-treatment using the Yale-Brown obsessive-compulsive scale (Y-BOCS) and the clinical global impression (CGI).
The reduction in the severity of symptoms observed at the end of the treatment was maintained during 1 year (F2,41=1.1; P=0.342). Eleven patients (35.5%) relapsed in the follow-up period. The intensity of improvement (log rank=12.97, GL=1, P=0.0003) and full remission (log rank=6.17; GL=1; P=0.001) were strong predictors for non-relapsing.
The CBGT is an effective treatment for OCD and its results are maintained for 1 year. However, further long-term randomized controlled trials are needed in order to confirm this finding.
本研究旨在评估为期1年的随访期内,认知行为团体治疗(CBGT)对强迫症(OCD)的治疗效果。
42名完成12次CBGT治疗的强迫症患者接受了为期1年的随访。在急性治疗结束时以及治疗后3个月、6个月和12个月,使用耶鲁-布朗强迫症量表(Y-BOCS)和临床总体印象量表(CGI)获取症状严重程度的测量数据。
治疗结束时观察到的症状严重程度减轻在1年内得以维持(F2,41=1.1;P=0.342)。11名患者(35.5%)在随访期内复发。改善程度(对数秩=12.97,GL=1,P=0.0003)和完全缓解(对数秩=6.17;GL=1;P=0.001)是无复发的有力预测因素。
CBGT是治疗强迫症的有效方法,其效果可维持1年。然而,需要进一步开展长期随机对照试验以证实这一发现。
