我们研究了辩证行为疗法（DBT）在多发性硬化症（MS）中是否可行和有效。20例焦虑或抑郁症状患者的便利样本接受DBT（n = 10）或标准医疗护理（n = 10）。发现DBT方案在所研究的MS群体中是可行的（例如，良好的保持力和可接受性）。对于DBT组，自评和临床医生评定的抑郁症状、临床医生评定的焦虑症状、自评的一般精神病理学症状和生活质量均有显著改善。相比之下，出于探索性目的保留的标准医疗护理组没有显着改善。这项试点工作为DBT在MS中的应用提供了初步支持，但需要进一步的工作来阐明使用大型随机对照方法的这种益处。
We examined whether dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) was feasible and effective in multiple sclerosis (MS). A convenience sample of 20 patients with anxiety or depression symptoms received either DBT (n = 10) or standard medical care (n = 10). The DBT protocol was found to be feasible in the MS population studied (e.g., good retention and acceptability). For the DBT group, significant improvements were demonstrated in self-rated and clinician-rated depressive symptoms, clinician-rated anxiety symptoms, self-rated general psychopathology symptoms, and quality of life. In contrast, the standard medical care group retained for exploratory purposes showed no significant improvements. This pilot work provides preliminary support for the utility of DBT in MS, but further work is needed to clarify this benefit using a large, randomized controlled approach.
