Background Amongst “third-wave” cognitive behavioural therapies, schema therapy demonstrates encouraging efficacy across various mental health conditions. Within this field, clinical interest has begun to converge on the “schema-mode-model” – a conceptualization framework for affective, and behavioral states that guide individuals’ perceptions behaviours at given point in time. Schema mode expressions patients with chronic tinnitus are as-yet unexamined. Methods The present study reports self-report data from N = 696 who completed Mode- Tinnitus Handicap Inventories alongside measures of perceived stress, anxiety depression. Mode Inventory assesses so-called maladaptive “parent”, “child” “coping” modes. Parent modes can be understood as self-states which characterized by self-critical hostile beliefs; child biographically unmet emotional needs; coping inflexible attempts regulate emotion stabilize one’s sense self. Descriptive, correlational mediation analyses investigated (1) tinnitus, (2) compared published reference values healthy control sample, (3) their relation other psychological constructs, (4) regarding potential role driving tinnitus-related distress. Results Patients reported mild-to-moderate levels Compared controls, showed high relative child-, detachment compliant conspicuously low expression ‘punitive parent’ mode. Correlational patterns suggested strong associations parent well angry stress anxiety, vulnerable all measured constructs distress - intrapersonally interpersonally alleged compliance.

Pathophysiological theories assume importance of metabolic abnormalities in patients with major depression - and possibly chronic tinnitus. Although tinnitus frequently correlates depression, links between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) are uninvestigated. Two-hundred (Mage = 55; 51% female) were examined. Serum levels total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TGs), HDL, low-density (LDL), non-HDL, as well LDL/HDL TC/HDL ratios analysed. Questionnaires included subscales the ICD-10 Symptom Rating, Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS_D), Berlin Mood Questionnaire (BSF). Multivariate analyses covariance linear regression models which controlled age, tinnitus-related distress perceived stress investigated between-subgroup differences (p < 0.05) associations HDL indices 0.01). did not differ for tinnitus-symptom duration, smoking alcohol use levels, statin or antihypertensive drug use, body-mass indices.

Across participants, HDL-levels negatively associated measured by HADS_D BSF_indifference scales.

Chronic tinnitus, the perception of sound without an external source, can significantly affect individuals’ well-being. As often medically unexplained symptom, chronic tinnitus present as a “somatoform” or “functional” difficulty. Some evidence has pointed to alexithymia transdiagnostically relevant risk factor for both symptom clusters. Using two-part rapid review—searching within EBSCO, Embase by Ovid, PubMed, Web Science—we summarize psychological studies regarding alexithymia, i.e., difficulties in recognizing and expressing emotions (1) somatoform conditions (2) tinnitus. For former (inclusion criteria: adult human beings with different kinds somatization, longitudinal study designs, (3) publication between 2001 2021, (4) full-text English German) we identified eight that revealed significant links conditions. Psychotherapy improved most studies. Additionally, was associated broader treatment outcomes such improvements pain intensity, gastrointestinal symptoms, patient-therapist alliance.

Background Gold-standard approaches for chronic tinnitus involve hearing amplification measures and psychological therapy, where applicable. Whilst schema therapy is accumulating evidence as a transdiagnostically useful treatment framework, its applicability patients with has not yet been examined. The present study (a) explores latent dimensions of distress in sample patients, (b) examines whether the mode model might explain these – thus constituting potentially helpful conceptualization framework. Methods N = 696 completed Tinnitus Questionnaire, Handicap Inventory, Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale, Perceived Stress Questionnaire ICD-10 Symptom Rating. As criterion, further Schema Mode Inventory (SMI-r) which assesses constructs linked to negative self-beliefs (“parent modes”), primary emotions resulting from unmet needs (“child secondary emotional or behavioral attempts reinstate maintain equilibrium (“coping modes”). A varimax -rotated principal axis factor analysis grouped item pool. Factor scale scores were then correlated SMI-r. Results three-factor solution explained 37.4% variance represented 78% included items. Following content examination, factors (1) General distress, (2) Tinnitus-attributed (3) Socio-audiological impairment. Factors 1|2 highly ( r 0.70), 2|3 moderately 0.62).

Conclusion “General” “tinnitus-attributed” correlate warranting holistic (not symptom-specific) case planning. Viewed perspective, explains substantial across both dimensions. Consequently, autobiographically anchored, detachment constitute key targets. Social-audiological impairment should be multimodally conceptualised treated aids support measures,
