We tested in a pilot study a new intervention for body image disturbance in anorexia nervosa (AN). Unlike common treatment approaches our hoop training targeted not only cognitive-emotional and visual aspects of body image, but also tactile and body-scaled action components.
We assessed cognitive, visual, tactile and body-scaled action aspects of body image disturbance before and after completion of hoop training. Twelve AN patients completed treatment as usual (TAU) for body image, 14 completed hoop training in addition to TAU.
Results show that patients who completed the 8-week individual hoop training in addition to TAU improved more on body image disturbance tasks from baseline to follow-up than patients who completed only TAU. Hoop training specifically seems to affect tactile body image and body-scaled action.
Taken together, a treatment approach in which the full spectrum of body image disturbances in AN is targeted has a unique added effect over treatment as usual.
Level II, non-randomized controlled study.
我们在一项厌食症(AN)躯体意象障碍的初步研究中测试了一种新的干预方法。与常见的治疗方法不同,我们的呼拉圈训练不仅针对躯体意象的认知-情感和视觉方面,还针对触觉和躯体尺度动作成分。
我们在完成呼拉圈训练前后评估了躯体意象障碍的认知、视觉、触觉和躯体尺度动作方面。12 名 AN 患者完成了躯体意象的常规治疗(TAU),14 名患者在 TAU 之外完成了呼拉圈训练。
结果表明,与仅完成 TAU 的患者相比,在完成额外的 8 周个体呼拉圈训练后,患者从基线到随访时的躯体意象障碍任务改善更多。呼拉圈训练特别似乎影响触觉身体意象和身体尺度动作。
总的来说,针对 AN 中躯体意象障碍的全部范围的治疗方法比常规治疗具有独特的附加效果。
