详细描述
Multicenter study comparing paroxetine (n=30) versus thermal cure (n=30) in patients with a diagnosis of Generalised Anxiety Disorders
Main objective is to quantify the therapeutic benefit of a thermal cure on generalized anxiety disorders and to understand the psycho-biological substrates of this improvement.
Secondary objectives:
- A decrease of Insula activity at rest during the answers to aversive pictures and during the task of subjective measurement of heartbeat.
- A decrease of sensibility to emotional interference by subliminal presentation of emotional words thanks to a lexical task and a color recognition task associated to simultaneous measurement of physiological indicator of emotional activity ( dermal resistance)

结局指标
主要结局
Decrease Insula activity during a resting state task
时间窗: The evaluation of primary end point is performed between day 1 and day 24
次要结局
- Changes of HAM-A score between day 1 and day 24.(The evaluation of primary end point is performed between day 1 and day 24)
- Sensibility non conscientious to emotional interference in lexical task and in color identification task(D= Day D1/D24/D56)
- Evolution (Day 1 and Day 24) of the correlation between HAM-A global score and 1- the measure of heartbeat 2- emotional reactivity during aversive images task.(D= Day D1/D24.)
- Modulation of electrodermal response during presentation of predictive stimuli on aversive images and its links to the subjective view of emotional state(D= Day D24)
- Modulation of electrodermal response during presentation of predictive stimuli on aversive images and insula activation(D= Day D24)
- Lost of significant correlation (Day 24) between HAM-A score, introspective acuity and insula hyperactivation(D= Day D24)
- Difference (Day 1 and Day 24) of correlations between the symptoms severity and the activation of insula cortex during 1-aversive images task, 2-heartbeat measure task.(D= Day D1/D24.)
- Evaluation of efficacy of the thermal cure Day 56 using HAM-A score(D= Day D56)
