Clinical Trial: Physical Activity and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in Panic Disorder
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: The Influence of Physical Activity on the Effect of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Neurobiological Parameters and Information Processing in Patients With Panic Disorder Wi
Brief Summary: Physical activity (treadmill) supports the effect of cognitive behavioural therapy in patients with panic disorder with/without agoraphobia
Detailed Summary:
Patients undergo cognitive behavioural therapy consisting of 8 group sessions within 1 month. All patients additionally complete a training of physical activity, which starts simultaneously to therapy and runs for 8 weeks (3 times/week, 30 minutes each). Half of the patients complete training on a treadmill while the other half completes a training programme of low intensity physical activity without cardiovascular activation.
Flanking EEG (electroencephalogram) recordings shall help clarify biological processes underlying the therapeutical process.
