Earlier on HA was considered untreatable, but psychotherapy with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for HA has been developed over the past 2 decades and has shown effective. There is also evidence from 2 studies reporting moderate treatment effectiveness of SSRI medication for HA [22,23], but prior to treatment patients with HA favour psychological treatment over pharmacological treatment, although pharmacological treatment is equally tolerated [22-24]. A meta-analysis from 2007 includes 6 randomized controlled trials (RCT) and finds evidence for effectiveness of treatment of HA with short term individual CBT. The effective factors of the CBT on health anxiety symptoms as primary outcome measure were found to be cognitive restructuring (cognitive therapy), response-prevention, exposure, and behavioural stress management, and with resource use as secondary outcome measure also psychoeducation [14].
