Biopsychological pattern underlying the psychosomatic symptoms of patients with Hwabyung from a universal perspective
This study suggests a representative SPQ subscale profile of Hwabyung and underlying mind-body interaction mechanisms within East-Asian biopsychological theory. It offers a more comprehensive and generalizable understanding of Hwabyung and other culture-bound psychosomatic syndromes, supporting improved diagnostic and intervention strategies across populations.
