背景最近的研究表明，注意力调整计划（AMP）在治疗成人焦虑症中的有效性。[1]虽然一些研究支持成功的AMP治疗焦虑的青年，[2，3]迄今为止，没有研究已经检查的疗效AMP作为一个连续治疗其他心理和药物干预焦虑的青年在community.MethodsIn目前的研究中，我们研究了AMP作为一个连续治疗的疗效，以标准的护理在住宅焦虑治疗设施。青少年（N = 42）完成了一项活动，（注意力修正程序，AMP; n = 21）或对照注意力控制条件; n = 21）的条件，除了设施的标准治疗方案，其中包括认知行为疗法与或不与药物。与ACC组的参与者相比，AMP组的参与者经历了从摄入点到出院点的焦虑症状的显著更大的减少。结论这些结果表明AMP是对焦虑症的标准治疗选择的有效的后续治疗，并有望改善高度焦虑的年轻人的治疗反应。
BackgroundRecent research suggests the efficacy of attention modification programs (AMP) in treating adult anxiety.[1]Though some research supports the success of AMP treatment in anxious youths,[2, 3]to date no study has examined the efficacy of AMP as an adjunctive treatment to other psychosocial and pharmacological interventions for anxious youths within the community.MethodsIn the current study, we examined the efficacy of AMP as an adjunctive treatment to standard care at a residential anxiety treatment facility. Adolescents (N = 42) completed either an active (attention modification program, AMP; n = 21) or a control (attention control condition, ACC; n = 21) condition, in addition to the facility's standard treatment protocol, which included cognitive behavioral therapy with or without medication.ResultsWhile anxiety symptoms decreased for participants across both groups, participants in the AMP group experienced a significantly greater decrease in anxiety symptoms from point of intake to point of discharge, in comparison to participants in the ACC group.ConclusionsThese results suggest that AMP is an effective adjunctive treatment to the standard treatments of choice for anxiety disorders, and may hold promise for improving treatment response in highly anxious youths.
