• #13 Early Psychological Interventions for Somatic Symptom Disorder and Functional Somatic Syndromes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8983947/

  Psychological treatments for somatic symptom disorder and functional somatic syndromes (SSD/FSS) achieve moderate effects only, potentially because of the high chronicity in these patients. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate whether early treatment, that is, treatment in populations at risk or with recent onset, improves outcome. […] We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of (cluster-)randomized controlled trials evaluating early psychological interventions in the prevention and treatment of SSD/FSS in adults compared with inactive control conditions, standard care, or placebo. Individuals at risk for SSD/FSS, suffering from subthreshold symptoms or new onsets of SSD/FSS, or presenting with SSD/FSS for the first time were included. […] Our review shows that targeting SSD/FSS at an early stage represents a conceptual and practical challenge. Readily accessible interventions addressing transsymptomatic processes of SSD/FSS development and consolidation are highly needed. Future studies are needed to evaluate individuals with diverse symptoms, examine symptom history thoroughly, use placebo controls, and report outcomes completely to determine the efficacy of early psychological interventions for SSD/FSS.

• #14 Early Psychological Interventions for Somatic Symptom Disorder and Functional Somatic Syndromes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8983947/

  The aim of the present study was to systematically examine the efficacy of early psychological interventions in preventing and treating SSD/FSS compared with inactive control treatments, standard care, or placebo in adults. […] Our review suggests that the area of early psychological interventions in SSD/FSS is highly underresearched and not well elaborated on a conceptual level, which is mirrored in an unsystematic and heterogeneous research output. We perceive an urgent need in the following four major research efforts: First, innovative treatment approaches tailored to at-risk or newly affected populations should be developed, crossing the borders of medical specialities and diagnostic constructs. […] Based on research in other psychological disorders and knowledge about disorder-maintaining processes in SSD/FSS, we still support the notion that a high DUI negatively affects treatment outcome in SSD/FSS. This notion is mirrored in current recommendations and guidelines promoting stepped, collaborative, and coordinated health care in the treatment of SSD/FSS. Stepped, collaborative health networks such as the Sofu-Net may increase access to psychological treatments and accordingly have the potential to reduce the DUI. Therefore, practitioners should continue to aim at treating SSD/FSS as early as possible.

• #15 New Best Practices for Treating Youth With Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders

  https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/best-practices-treating-youth-somatic-symptom-related-disorders

  It is often valuable to pair discussions with the use of motivational interviewing to enhance engagement and understand the patients or family members experience. […] Management an SSRD in youth is an iterative process that begins with setting clear goals and expectations. […] Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has a strong evidence base in addressing psychological factors underpinning pediatric SSRD. […] Care should be provided in the setting that best matches the patients needs and severity of illness. […] CL psychiatrists may be asked about the use of psychopharmacology in managing SSRDs. […] Ultimately, disposition planning must account for the level of training, experience, resources, and standardization of practice that exists within different settings in a given health system.

• #16 CBT for Somatic Symptom Disorder and Illness Anxiety Disorder (Chapter 8) – Evidence-Based Treatment for Anxiety Disorders and Depression

  https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/evidencebased-treatment-for-anxiety-disorders-and-depression/cbt-for-somatic-symptom-disorder-and-illness-anxiety-disorder/DED0E30A3622D41E9728E8D83486A20A

  Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) entails a preoccupation with one or more physical symptoms that are attributed to a nonpsychiatric disease. Research on treatment for SSD supports the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for reducing symptomatology and improving physical functioning and quality of life. This chapter summarizes the research base for CBT for SSD and provides a clinical guide to formulating, assessing, and implementing CBT for clients with SSD. Assessment requires ruling out organic medical conditions and assessing triggers of SSD, beliefs about body sensations, and associated safety behaviors. The use of a functional assessment and self-monitoring aids in developing an idiosyncratic case conceptualization. Treatment includes psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring to challenge beliefs about bodily sensations, a mix of interoceptive, in vivo, and imaginal exposure, and the elimination of all safety behaviors. The chapter concludes with a summary of recent advances in treatment of SSD, including mindfulness-based approaches.

  https://pilotfeasibilitystudies.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40814-022-01105-0

  Delivering a unified Internet-delivered exposure-based treatment protocol for individuals with undifferentiated somatic symptom disorder appears to be feasible. […] We found that individuals with a wide spectrum of persistent physical symptoms showed interest, rated the treatment as credible and adhered to the study protocol. The participants reported large reductions in subjective somatic symptom burden and symptom preoccupation, without serious adverse events. […] This motivates further evaluation in the relevant routine care contexts such as primary care, and also further evaluation of how much various patient groups have to gain from being enrolled in an exposure-based treatment developed for their specific somatic disease or syndrome (such as anxiety in asthma, atopic dermatitis, atrial fibrillation and so on) rather than a unified treatment.

  While considerable strides have been made in attempting to develop evidence-based treatment approaches, recommendations, and protocols for the successful management of SSD, many of the interventions have significant limitations. […] The two interventions with the strongest empirical support are the psychiatric consultation intervention (PCI) and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). […] The current pilot study aimed to examine the utility of a brief six-session CBT group intervention focused on ameliorating somatic and comorbid psychiatric symptoms, and reducing healthcare utilization for individuals living with SSD in Ontario, Canada. […] Findings from this pilot study demonstrate promising trends, including the reduction of SSD symptoms and related symptomatology (i.e., depressive symptoms, anxiety, stress, and perceived disability) associated with participation in a six-session CBT-based intervention group.

  The current study indicates that group participation may also have implications for reductions in healthcare utilization among individuals with SSD. […] The reductions in health care utilization have considerable implications for individual well-being as well as efficiency of health care spending. […] This pilot study suggests that CBT groups for SSD in outpatient settings holds promise, and justifies resources being allotted into further developing and extending the intervention program.

  Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) presents challenges to the healthcare system, including frequent medical visits, lack of symptom relief experienced by individuals with this condition, high associated medical costs, and patient dissatisfaction. […] Current findings provide support for the potential effectiveness of an abbreviated CBT group for individuals with SSD in reducing psychiatric symptomatology. Further research is recommended, including randomized control trials, cost-benefit analyses, and comparisons between abbreviated versus longer-duration treatment programs for SSD. […] Despite the high prevalence rate of SSD and the robust correlation with adverse functional outcomes (i.e., reduced quality of life, high rates of healthcare utilization), the literature on interventions for the treatment and management of SSD remains underdeveloped.
