Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Paroxetine in the Treatment of Hypochondriasis: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial compares the efficacy of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), paroxetine, and a placebo in treating hypochondriasis among 112 participants. The study reports that both CBT and paroxetine were significantly more effective than placebo on continuous measures, with responder rates varying by analysis group. The authors conclude that both interventions are effective short-term treatment options for this condition.
