Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores the relationship between stress and disease from both the mind and the body.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding disease through both mind and body
The Psychosomatic Medicine Lab studies internal medicine diseases related to stress, examining them from both the mental and the physical side.
As the psychosomatic medicine department of Kyushu University Hospital, the lab also treats patients whose symptoms, such as headache, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, persist chronically and are thought to be related to stress.
Prof. Sudo investigates, from both clinical and basic research perspectives, how external factors such as stress, gut bacteria, and food components are involved in diseases and pathological conditions.
The research section of the lab's website lists allergy, neurophysiology, chronic pain, gastroenterology, endocrinology, and clinical psychology.

The lab also treats patients with psychosomatic disorders, in which psychological factors play a major role in the onset and course of the illness.
*Illustrative imageMechanisms of chronic pain
At the Multidisciplinary Pain Center of Kyushu University Hospital and elsewhere, the lab conducts clinical research to clarify how chronic pain arises and why it persists.
*Illustrative imageGut bacteria and anorexia nervosa
The lab examined the gut bacteria of hospitalized patients with anorexia nervosa over three months, and reported that disruption of the gut bacteria persists even after body weight and mental state improve.
*Illustrative imageDietary components, behavior, and gut bacteria
Using mice, the lab investigates how kestose, a dietary fiber, and deficiencies of amino acids such as tryptophan affect behavior, including activity level, and the gut bacteria.
*Illustrative imageMetabolome analysis of anorexia nervosa
The lab performs metabolome analysis on Japanese female patients with anorexia nervosa. This has been Assistant Professor Miyata's research theme since 2017.
