An investigation was carried out with 3 groups of children to compare pupillary reactions (as an index of autonomic function) in response to stress induced by the cold pressor test. It was found that normal pupillary reactions are modified in children who have recurrent abdominal pain without physical cause and also in children with behaviour problems. It is suggested that disturbances of autonomic function merit further investigation in psychosomatic and emotional disorders, both as a method of diagnosis and to help elucidate the underlying mechanisms whereby symptoms may be produced.
对三组儿童进行了一项调查,以比较瞳孔反应(作为自主神经功能指标)对冷加压试验诱导的应激的反应。研究发现,无身体原因的复发性腹痛儿童以及有行为问题的儿童的正常瞳孔反应会发生改变。有人提出,自主神经功能紊乱在身心和情绪障碍中值得进一步研究,既作为一种诊断方法,也有助于阐明可能产生症状的潜在机制。
