Alleviation of symptoms and paradoxical brain perfusion shift in oral cenesthopathy: A retrospective neuroimaging study
Coping behaviors in oral cenesthopathy were associated with amplified right-sided rCBF asymmetry. This finding challenges the expectation that symptom alleviation would reduce rCBF asymmetry. It may suggest that the coping behavior of the patients with oral cenesthopathy is potentially amplifying asymmetry especially in the higher visual processing to adapt to their symptoms.
