Core Tip

Core tip: Cognitive bias and negative coping styles are common in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We have conducted continuous observation and research on the clinical somatic symptoms, cognitive bias and coping styles of patients with comprehensive treatment for 24 wk, and found that compared with single conventional treatment, it has better effect on relieving clinical symptoms, which proves that it is of great significance to improve cognitive bias and adverse coping styles of patients with diarrhea-type IBS through cognitive behavioral therapy combined with exercise intervention.
