桩功结合有氧运动对焦虑障碍的康复效应研究

    Rehabilitation Effect of Chan-Chuang Combined with Aerobic Exercise on Anxiety Disorder

    • 摘要:
      目的 探究8周桩功结合有氧运动对焦虑障碍患者的治疗效果,重点分析其对前额叶alpha波不对称性(frontal alpha asymmetry,FAA)的调节作用,并从行为、大脑及自主神经维度揭示其潜在机制。
      方法 将57例焦虑障碍患者随机分为有氧运动组、桩功结合有氧运动组和对照组,分别在基线、干预4周和8周后对所有受试者进行情绪Stroop任务、静息态脑电和心率变异性测量,并同步评估其焦虑水平。
      结果 1)干预后有氧运动组和桩功结合有氧运动组的焦虑自评量表(self-rating anxiety scale,SAS)评分和广泛性焦虑障碍量表(generalized anxiety disorder,GAD-7)评分均显著低于对照组,且8周效果优于4周。2)相比于对照组,干预8周后有氧运动组和桩功结合有氧运动组的标准差指数(standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals,SDNN)、均方根差值(root mean square of successive differences,RMSSD)和高频归一化单位(high frequency component in normalized units,HFnu)均显著更高,低频归一化单位(low frequency component in normalized units,LFnu)显著更低;同时,有氧运动组和桩功结合有氧运动组的情绪Stroop任务反应时均显著短于对照组,正确率更高,且8周的效果优于4周。脑电图数据显示,基线时各组左侧前额叶alpha波(F3-alpha)均显著高于右侧前额叶alpha波(F4-alpha),即焦虑障碍患者前额叶情绪偏侧化功能失调;干预8周后,两干预组F3-alpha和F4-alpha的左右侧前额叶的alpha波趋于平衡,同时两干预组在前额叶的alpha波功率显著高于对照组,delta波、theta波和beta波功率均显著低于对照组。3)相关性分析结果显示,桩功结合有氧运动组干预8周后的前额叶区alpha波与SDNN、RMSSD、HFnu和情绪Stroop正确率均呈显著正相关,与SAS呈显著负相关,上述关联在有氧运动组中较弱,且在对照组中不显著。
      结论 持续8周的有氧运动和桩功结合有氧运动干预均能改善焦虑障碍患者的焦虑症状,并有效调节前额叶情绪偏侧化功能(纠正FAA失衡)、注意偏向和自主神经功能,且桩功结合有氧运动的组合方案表现出更优的康复效益。

       

      Abstract: Objective: To investigate the efficacy of an 8-week aerobic exercise combined with Chan-Chuang intervention in patients with anxiety disorders, with a focus on its regulatory effect on frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA), and to explore the underlying mechanisms from the perspectives of behavioral, cerebral, and autonomic nervous system. Methods: Fifty-seven patients with anxiety disorders were randomly assigned to either an aerobic exercise group, a combined aerobic and Chan-Chuang exercise group, or a control group. All participants underwent an emotional Stroop task, resting-state electroencephalogram, and heart rate variability measurements at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after the intervention. Results: After intervention, both of the aerobic exercise group and the combined group showed significantly lower scores on the SAS and GAD-7 compared to the control group, with greater improvements at 8 weeks than at 4 weeks. Compared to the control group, the aerobic exercise and combined groups showed significantly higher SDNN, RMSSD, and HFnu, as well as significantly lower LFnu after 8 weeks of intervention. The emotional Stroop task reaction time was significantly shorter and the accuracy was significantly higher in the intervention groups at 8 weeks, with greater improvements than at 4 weeks. Electroencephalogram data revealed that all groups showed significantly higher alpha power in the left prefrontal region than in the right (F3-alpha>F4-alpha) at baseline, indicating dysfunctional prefrontal emotional lateralization in anxiety disorder patients. After 8 weeks of intervention, intervention groups exhibited a more balanced alpha power between F3 and F4 compared to the control group. Additionally, the intervention groups showed significantly higher prefrontal alpha power and significantly lower delta, theta, and beta power compared to the control group. Correlation analysis showed that, after 8 weeks of intervention, prefrontal alpha power was positively correlated with SDNN, RMSSD, HFnu, and emotional Stroop accuracy, and negatively correlated with SAS scores in the combined group. These correlations were weak in the aerobic exercise group and no significant difference was observed in the control group. Conclusion: Both of 8-week aerobic exercise and aerobic combined with Chan-Chuang interventions can alleviate anxiety symptoms in patients with anxiety disorders, effectively regulate prefrontal emotional lateralization function (correcting FAA imbalance), attention bias, and autonomic nervous function. Moreover, the aerobic combined with Chan-Chuang program demonstrates superior rehabilitation benefits.
