Reduction of CO2-induced anxiety in patients with panic attacks after repeated CO2 exposure

Marcel van den Hout, G.M. van der Molen, Eric J.L. Griez, H. Lousberg, A Nansen·1987·American Journal of Psychiatry

Abstract

The authors compared the subjective reaction of 13 panic patients and eight control subjects to a 35% CO2 challenge, a treatment known to produce physical symptoms comparable to those of natural or lactate-induced panic, and to placebo treatment (inhalation of air). They found that patients had higher placebo scores than control subjects, patients tended to get highly anxious on CO2 and control subjects did not, and CO2-induced subjective anxiety in patients decreased as the number of CO2-induced exposures to interoceptive anxiety symptoms increased. The data support a behavioral account of the effects of anxiogenics.

  • There is experimental evidence that pharmacological interoceptive exposure therapy can reduce anxiety disorder symptom severity either as monotherapy or as an augmentative approach.

    “There is also experimental evidence that pharmacological interoceptive exposure therapy can reduce anxiety disorder symptom severity either as monotherapy (7,121–123) or as an augmentative approach (124).”

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.
