| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to develop an intervention protocol specifically for patients with dental phobia with the gagging reflex, for whom conventional cognitive behavior therapy is inadequately effective, and to further enhance the effectiveness of cognitive behavior therapy for dental phobia. In this study, we empirically investigated the following three points: (1) identification of cognitive and behavioral factors effective in improving anxiety and fear in dental phobia patients with gagging reflex, (2) development of a program aimed at acquiring the identified factors, and (3) examination of the effectiveness of the program. The results of this study showed that a newly developed cognitive behavior therapy for dental phobia with gagging reflex was effective in improving dental phobia and eliminating the vomiting reflex.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
これまでわが国において，嘔吐反射を伴う歯科恐怖症に関する疫学調査が行われ，歯科恐怖症患者の約半数は嘔吐反射を伴うことが報告されている。特に，嘔吐反射を伴う歯科恐怖症患者は，従来の認知行動療法が奏功しないことが明らかにされている。本研究の成果として期待される嘔吐反射を伴う歯科恐怖症に対する有効な介入法の確立は，従来の認知行動療法による効果が不十分であった者の歯科治療に対する不安・恐怖が，どのように維持され続けているかを明らかにするとともに，口腔内の状態を改善するための方策を提供する点においても有益である。
