Abstract

Objective: To date, the feasibility of autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) as a complement to traditional treatments for patients with depression remains unclear. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of breathing-relaxation training plus ASMR on mood and depressive symptoms in patients with mild depression.

Methods: A quasi-experimental pre- and post-test design with a non-equivalent control group was used. Forty patients with mild depression were assigned to the experimental group that received breathing-relaxation training plus ASMR or the wait-list control group for a total of 8 training sessions. To assess mood and depressive symptoms, the Korean version of the Profile of Mood State-Brief and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 were performed.

Results: There was no significant difference in baseline demographic characteristics between both groups. After the 8 training sessions, the experimental group achieved a significantly greater improvement in mood and depressive symptoms with more ASMR experiences compared to the control group.

Conclusion: These findings illustrated the feasibility of ASMR as a complementary tool and breathing-relaxation training plus ASMR might be clinically beneficial to alleviate negative mood and depressive symptoms in patients with mild depression.

呼吸放松训练加自主感觉经络反应对轻度抑郁症患者情绪和抑郁症状的影响

目的：迄今为止，自主感觉经络反应（ASMR）作为抑郁症患者传统治疗方法的一种补充，其可行性仍不明确。本研究的主要目的是探讨呼吸放松训练加 ASMR 对轻度抑郁症患者的情绪和抑郁症状的影响：方法：采用非等效对照组的前测和后测的准实验设计。40 名轻度抑郁症患者被分配到接受呼吸放松训练和 ASMR 的实验组或等待对照组，共接受 8 次训练。为了评估患者的情绪和抑郁症状，实验组采用了韩国版《情绪状态简况》和《患者健康问卷-9》：结果：两组的基线人口统计学特征无明显差异。8次训练后，实验组与对照组相比，在更多的ASMR体验中，实验组的情绪和抑郁症状得到了明显改善：这些研究结果表明了 ASMR 作为一种辅助工具的可行性，呼吸放松训练加 ASMR 可能对缓解轻度抑郁症患者的负面情绪和抑郁症状有临床益处。
