The effects of muscle tension on cerebral circulation in blood-phobic and non-phobic subjects
Abstract
This study aimed to assess whether (1) a muscle tensing procedure which has been found to be useful in the treatment of blood-phobic patients produces an increase in heart rate and cerebral blood flow and (2) whether this increase is greater than that produced by mental effort alone. Subjects were 17 volunteers with a history of fainting in response to blood-injury stimuli, (12 were phobic) and 8 volunteers with no fainting history. They were required to (a) rest, (b) do mental arithmetic, and (c) repeatedly tense and release their arm and leg muscles. It was found that Ss, heart rate and cerebral blood flow velocity were significantly greater during the muscle tensing procedure than during mental arithmetic or resting conditions. The increased cerebral blood flow produced by muscle tensing may enable blood phobic patients to prevent fainting during exposure treatment.

By using muscle tension, cerebral blood flow only increased by 8-15% in BII-phobia patients.
“By using muscle tension, CBF only increased by 8–15% in BII-phobia patients (see also Foulds et al., 1990).”

“…was similar to that described by Öst and Sterner (1987), involved tensing for 15 s and then releasing the tension for 15 s. Rhythmic tension, which was based on Foulds et al. (1990), required tension for 5 seconds and release for 5 seconds, with both conditions continuing the pattern for 2 minutes.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
