BACKGROUND: Altered functional connectivity (FC) is associated with the pathophysiology of patients with somatization disorder (SD). However, inconsistent results were obtained due to different selections of regions of interest (ROIs) in previous researches. This study aims to examine voxel-wise brain-wide FC alterations in patients with first-episode, drug-naive SD in an unbiased way.

METHODS: A total of 25 patients with SD and 28 age-, sex-, and education-matched healthy controls underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. Global-brain FC (GFC) was applied to analyze the images. Receiver operating characteristic curves and support vector machine were used to differentiate the patients from the controls.

RESULTS: Compared with healthy controls, patients with SD exhibited increased GFC in the right inferior temporal gyrus (t-value = 4.0663, p < 0.001) and left superior occipital gyrus (t-value = 3.8197, p < 0.001). Decreased GFC in the right insula (t-value = ‒4.1667, p < 0.001) was observed in the patients relative to the controls. The GFC values in the right insula of the patients were positively correlated to their scores of the sleep subscale of the Hamilton Depression Scale (r = 0.455, p = 0.022) and the lie subscale of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (r = 0.436, p = 0.029). A combination of GFC values in the right insula and left superior occipital gyrus can be applied to discriminate the patients from the controls with optimal sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 88.00%, 85.71%, and 86.79%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicates that patients with SD show abnormal GFC in the brain areas of insula-centered sensorimotor network, and thus providing a new perspective for understanding the pathological changes of FC in SD. Furthermore, a combination of the GFC values in the right insula and left superior occipital gyrus may be used as a potential biomarker to identify the patients from the controls.
