It has been argued that panic disorder patients may be more skilled at detecting changes in actual physiology than others. The present study investigated if panic patients are better than controls in perceiving sensations produced by light hyperventilation. Twelve panic patients and 28 control subjects underwent a procedure in which they were exposed 12 times to 1 min of light hyperventilation or 1 min of 'placebo' hyperventilation (isocapnia). Differences in sensations reported during real hyperventilation were compared to sensations reported during 'placebo' hyperventilation. Results demonstrated an absence of superior perception of hyperventilatory sensations in panic patients.
有人认为，惊恐障碍患者在检测实际生理变化方面可能比其他人更有技巧。本研究调查了惊恐症患者在感知轻度换气过度所产生的感觉方面是否比对照组更好。12名惊恐症患者和28名对照受试者接受了一项程序，在此过程中他们12次暴露于1分钟的轻度换气过度或1分钟的“安慰剂”换气过度（等碳酸血症）。将实际换气过度期间报告的感觉差异与“安慰剂”换气过度期间报告的感觉进行比较。结果表明，惊恐症患者对换气过度感觉没有更优的感知。
