2350 – Pain engagement and disengagement, self-reported health and illness behaviour in irritable bowel syndrome - 09/07/13
Résumé |
Introduction |
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is characterised by persistent symptoms in the absence of structural abnormality.
Objectives |
To discover if people with IBS exhibit atypical patterns of attention to symbolic pain stimuli.
Aims |
To investigate whether IBS is linked to enhanced engagement with pain words and slower disengagement.
Methods |
Exogenous cueing was carried out with 20 IBS and 33 healthy participants. Participants responded to a dot following on the same or other side of the screen, allowing measurement of engagement and disengagement.
Results |
ANCOVAs were carried out. The IBS group engaged more with Pain and Social Threat words, and had greater difficulty in disengaging from Pain but not from Social Threat (see Figures 1 and 2). Difficulty in disengaging from Pain was linked to greater symptom severity.
