“…Moreover, the HA group has higher gastrocnemius muscle tension during the first 10 s after the stressful task compared to the control task, but not the LA group. This is in line with previous studies that have found response specificity within the skeletal muscles according to personality trait Heath et al, 1967;Shipman et al, 1964). In addition, a more recent study has reported among six muscles recorded a trend toward higher gastrocnemius muscle tension in generalized anxiety disorders (GAD) patients following a speech task than in control subjects (Conrad et al, 2008).…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Patients also kept a weekly record of headache activity based on hourly subjective ratings of headache pain. In contrast to other reports describing psychological correlates of frontalis EMG with normals or psychiatric patients, 12,13,14 these data are based on chronic tension headache patients referred for clinical treatment.…”
