No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Intrusive negative thinking styles such as rumination are typical of many psychiatric disorders, are difficult to treat, and predict poor treatment outcome. The investigators propose to evaluate a new intervention for negative thinking that capitalizes and builds on the preserved ability to attend to physical sensation. The investigators will examine changes in physiological mechanisms and symptoms.

Conditions

  • Intrusive Negative Thinking

Interventions

OTHER

Sensory attention training

Participants will be instructed to attend to sensory stimuli and to press a button as quickly and accurately as possible while ruminating. Stimuli will consist of vibration via a wearable subwoofer or non-painful electrical muscle stimulation (10Hz biphasic current with a pulse width of 200us with rectangular 2" electrodes placed on the back near the shoulders) or vibratory stimulation with a vibroacoustic element placed on the back near the shoulders. Up to four sessions will be approximately 45 minutes, over the course of two weeks.
