    Area of Science:

    • Psychosomatic Medicine
    • Gastroenterology
    • Clinical Psychology

    Background:

    • Severe ulcerative rectocolitis often necessitates surgical intervention.
    • Limited non-surgical options exist for refractory cases.
    • Psychological factors may influence inflammatory bowel disease outcomes.

    Observation:

    • Three patients with severe ulcerative rectocolitis were treated with autogenous training and medication.
    • Patients exhibited significant clinical and rectoscopical improvements.
    • Enhanced adaptation to reality was noted alongside symptom reduction.

    Findings:

    • Autogenous training, a mind-body exercise, combined with standard drug treatment, led to substantial recovery.
    • Somatic morbid signs, both clinical and rectoscopical, diminished.

  • Improved psychological adaptation correlated with physical symptom resolution.

    • Implications:

    • Autogenous training may offer a viable non-surgical therapeutic option for severe ulcerative rectocolitis.
    • The therapeutic frame and psychological adaptation are crucial components in managing inflammatory bowel disease.
    • Further research into psychosomatic interventions for gastrointestinal disorders is warranted.
