简要总结
A factorial randomised controlled trial comparing internet-delivered combined cognitive bias modification intervention (iCBM-C) versus internet-delivered CBM-interpretation intervention (iCBM-I), internet-delivered CBM-attention intervention (iCBM-A) and wait-list control on obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms, OC-beliefs, OC-related interpretation and attention biases
详细描述
Cognitive behavioral therapy, consisting of exposure and response prevention and cognitive restructuring, is still one of the most effective treatments for obsessive compulsive disorder. However, some patients do not fully benefit from the treatment. This condition results in more search for novel approaches that can contribute to effectiveness of standard treatments. In this regard, the use of technology-based methods in recent researches is noteworthy. Cognitive bias modification (CBM) is one of these current efforts of technology-based methods. CBM involves computerized tasks designed to modify some cognitive biases such as attention and interpretation associated with psychopathology, particularly anxiety disorders. Researches have generally demonstrated that cognitive bias modification can be effective way to alter cognitive biases and to reduce anxiety symptoms. In recent years, there have been also some studies to investigate the potential effects of cognitive bias modification for obsessive compulsive disorder.The results of both CBM-Interpretation (CBM-I) and CBM-Attention (CBM-A) studies have shown that it is an effective and promising method in reducing cognitive biases in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Although these studies are highly informative, they do not provide information about the causal role one bias has during the operation of another. In recent years, there has been a growing consensus that both biases arise from the same system, thereby, it is possible that modifying the system to alter one bias (e.g., attention), will also impact on the presence of the other bias.). In line with this notion, there are a couple of studies to test the effect of Combined Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM-C) which is combination of both CBM-A and CBM-I in intervention programs. The results of these studies are generally very positive. Although it is well established that attention bias and interpretation bias each have a key role in the development and maintenance of OCD, only one bias is targeted in CBM studies of OCD. Considering that a "combined cognitive bias" may contribute to the maintenance of several disorders, in order to try to maximise the potential clinical impact, the present research aims at exploring whether the combination of the CBM-A and CBM-I procedures would be more effective in reducing cognitive biases and OC symptoms than either alone. It is expected that internet-delivered CBM-C (iCBM-C) will result in superior treatment outcomes as indexed by internet-delivered CBM-I intervention only (iCBM-I), internet-delivered CBM-A intervention only (iCBM-A), and wait-list control (WLC).

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Padua Inventory-Washington State University Revision
时间窗: Screen, Baseline (pre-intervention), post-intervention at week 4, 1-month follow-up
Self-report questionnaire of obsessive compulsive symptoms composed of 39 items on a 5-point scale. Total score ranges from 0 to 156. Higher scores indicate greater severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms (worse outcome).
Change in Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire-44
时间窗: Baseline (pre-intervention), post-intervention at week 4, 1-month follow-up
Self-report questionnaire of maladaptive obsessive-compulsive beliefs composed of 44 items on a 7-point scale. Total score ranges from 44 to 308. Higher score indicates that the individual has more maladaptive obsessive-compulsive beliefs (worse outcome).
Change in dot-probe task
时间窗: Baseline (pre-intervention), post-intervention at week 4
Measure of attention biases. Participants are presented 48 trials comprising all combinations of probe type ("←" or "→"), probe position (top or bottom), and picture type (neutral or threat). Each trial begins with the presentation of a central fixation cross for 500 ms. The cross is then replaced by a picture pair presented in the center of the screen for 500ms. After 500 ms, both stimuli disappear and a probe is shown in the location of one of the stimuli. Participants are instructed to indicate as quickly as possible which probe was shown via using keyboardResponse latencies are averaged to provide a single mean reaction time score for each participant. Scores are calculated by subtracting response latencies for trials in which the probe replaces threat stimuli from response latencies for trials in which the probe replaces neutral stimuli. subtracting the average. A negative bias score indicates an attention bias away from threat-related pictures (better outcome).
Change in OC bias index
时间窗: Baseline (pre-intervention), post-intervention at week 4
Measure of interpretation biases. It is a computerized task that requires participants to read and imagine themselves in 10 OC-relevant test scenarios and 10 non OC-relevant scenarios with a title and missing letter in the final word of the sentence. Participants are then provided with a recognition rating form where they see the title of only the 10 OC-relevant scenarios in which they had previously imagined themselves. Each title corresponds with four different interpretations; target bias (OC-Positive and OC-Negative), and foil bias (Foil Positive and Foil Negative). Participants are asked to rate (on a 4-point scale) each sentence independently in terms of how similar each interpretation option is to the meaning of the scenario they had previously read. Target and Foil Bias Index scores are calculated by subtracting ratings for negative items from ratings for positive items. A positive score indicates that the individual has more OC-positive interpretations (better outcome).
