[Course of duodenal ulcer disease depending on personality type and effectiveness of differential psychotropic
Aim:
To determine features of duodenal ulcer (DU) course as regards personality traits and to validate a differentiated approach to psychopharmacological correction of such patients.
Material And Methods:
The personality type was determined in 102 DU patients using an experimental psychological examination.
Results:
Among the examinees, submissive and excitable personalities predominated (56.9 vs 43.1%, respectively). Submissive personalities were anxiously accentuated, moderately psychically rigid and moderately neurotic. Morphologically, they had diffuse fundal and antral gastritis with moderate H. pylori dissemination, intact acid production, ulcer size > 1 cm. Excitable personalities had antral gastritis with moderate H. pylori dissemination, high acid production, ulcer defect 0.6-0.9 cm.
Conclusion:
Anti-acid and eradication therapy in combination with individual psychotropic therapy (amitriptilin in submissive and nozepam in excitable personalities) reduced the time of DU healing and prevent recurrence for one year.
