Catastrophic Appraisal and Perceived Control as Moderators of Treatment Response in Panic Disorder

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effects of cognitive risk factors in two mechanistically-distinct interventions. Forty-one patients with panic disorder and agoraphobia were randomly assigned to receive training aimed at altering respiration (Capnometry-assisted respiratory training, CART) or symptom appraisal (cognitive skill training, CT). Using a mixed effects regression model, we assessed whether reductions in panic symptom severity (PDSS) were moderated by the variables of interest. While improvement in PDSS did not differ among treatment modalities, moderating effects emerged. Individuals with greater initial levels of misappraisal showed smaller reduction in PDSS when receiving CT, but larger reduction when receiving CART. Greater lack of perceived control was predictive of worse outcome in CART, but better outcome in CT. Better homework compliance was related to greater reductions in PDSS irrespective of condition. The findings illustrate the complexity of moderating influences within and between distinct interventions.

  • Meuret et al. (2010) found that lower perceived control was associated with greater improvement in cognitive therapy for panic disorder.

    “Meuret et al. (2010) found that lower perceived control was associated with greater improvement in cognitive therapy for panic disorder.”

    The Results (Effect of Baseline Perceived Control) report no significant association between perceived control and improvement within cognitive therapy (CT). The Discussion likewise says initial control did not predict CT outcome. Patients with low perceived control improved more in CT than in CART, but that is a comparison between treatments, not the claimed association within CT. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The current results contrast with the prior report in which moderate levels of anxiety sensitivity led to better outcomes from CBT whereas they did not affect ACT, and with the report by Meuret et al. (2010) where higher levels of anxiety sensitivity led to poorer response to cognitive therapy and greater response to capnometry assisted respiratory training.

    “Thus, the current results contrast with the prior report in which moderate levels of anxiety sensitivity led to better outcomes from CBT whereas they did not affect ACT (Wolitzky-Taylor et al., 2012), and with the report by Meuret et al. (2010) where higher levels of anxiety sensitivity led to poorer response to cognitive therapy and greater response to capnometry assisted respiratory training.”

  • In a panic disorder sample, lower perceived control was associated with poorer outcomes from a treatment aimed at changing respiration, whereas higher cognitive misappraisal of anxiety symptoms was related to poorer outcomes from cognitive therapy.

    “In a panic disorder sample, Meuret et al. (2010) found that lower perceived control was associated with poorer outcomes from a treatment aimed at changing respiration, whereas higher cognitive misappraisal of anxiety symptoms (i.e., anxiety sensitivity) was related to poorer outcomes from cognitive therapy.”

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.
