ABSTRACT

La intervención psicológica en el contexto del deporte ha intentado detectar un modelo que pueda predecir el máximo rendimiento deportivo; los estudios en donde se utilizan programas de intervención psicológica en las fases competitivas han mostrado cierta influencia en la mejora de habilidades psicológicas específicas para la práctica deportiva. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el efecto de un programa de control de activación basado en la Zona Individual de Funcionamiento Óptimo (IZOF), sobre los niveles de dureza mental en deportistas universitarios de halterofilia. La muestra constó de tres participantes, seleccionados por conveniencia. Se utilizó un diseño preexperimental de pretest-postest con un grupo único. Se aplicaron el Inventario Psicológico de Ejecución Deportiva y el Inventario de Ansiedad Estado Competitiva-2RD, este último de manera retrospectiva considerando tres momentos deportivos: a) Peor Rendimiento; b) Rendimiento Regular; c) Mejor Rendimiento; y uno de forma prospectiva, d) Post-intervención. Se registro la frecuencia cardiaca como herramienta para determinar la IZOF. El programa de intervención constó de 17 sesiones para la enseñanza y aplicación técnicas de control de activación. Se analizaron las variables psicológicas mediante la prueba T de Wilcoxon y el mínimo cambio apreciable, mientras que se obtuvieron medias para la frecuencia cardiaca para evaluar su comportamiento durante las ejecuciones de rendimiento. Los resultados posteriores a la intervención muestran cambios positivos en los niveles de ansiedad y autoconfianza, así como de las habilidades psicológicas para la práctica deportiva, y, la obtención y mantenimiento de la IZOF en los participantes.

Psychological intervention in the sports context has tried to detect a model that can predict maximum sports performance. Studies in which psychological intervention programs were used in the competitive phases have shown some influence in the improvement of specific psychological skills for sports practice. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of an activation control program based on the Individual Zone of Optimal Functioning (IZOF) on the mental toughness levels in university weightlifting athletes. The sample was of three participants, selected by convenience. A pre-experimental pretest-posttest design with a single group was used. The Psychological Inventory of Sport Performance and Inventory of Competitive State Anxiety-2RD (CSAI-2R) questionnaires were applied, the CSAI-2R was responded to retrospectively considering three different sporting moments: a)Worst Performance; b) Regular Performance; c) Best Performance; and, one prospectively after intervention: d) Treatment Performance. Heart rate recording was used as a tool to determine the IZOF. The intervention program consisted of 17 sessions for the teaching and application of activation control techniques. Psychological variables were analyzed through a Wilcoxon test and the smallest worthwhile change, whilst heart rate means were obtained to evaluate their behavior throughout the performance executions. Post-intervention results show positive changes in anxiety and self-confidence levels as well as in the psychological skills for sports practice, and the attainment and maintenance of IZOF in the participants.

A intervenção psicológica no contexto do desporto tentou detectar um modelo que pode prever o máximo desempenho desportivo. Estudos nos quais são utilizados programas de intervenção psicológica nas fases competitivas mostraram uma certa influência na melhoria de competências psicológicas específicas para a prática desportiva. O objectivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o efeito da utilização de um programa de controlo de activação baseado na Zona Ótima de Funcioamento Individual(IZOF) sobre os níveis de resistência mental em atletas de halterofilismo universitários. A amostra consistiu em três participantes, seleccionados de forma não-probabilística por conveniência. Foi utilizado um desenho pré-experimental de pré-teste-pós-teste com um único grupo. Foram aplicados os seguintes questionários: 1) Inventário Psicológico do Desempenho Desportivo; e 2) Inventário da Ansiedade do Estado Competitivo-2RD, este último considerando retrospectivamente três momentos desportivos diferentes: a) pior desempenho; b) desempenho médio; c) melhor desempenho. Finalmente, um registo do ritmo cardíaco como ferramenta para determinar o IZOF. O programa de intervenção consistiu em 17 sessões para o ensino e aplicação de técnicas de controlo de activação. Os dados obtidos foram analisados utilizando um teste Wilcoxon para contrastar as diferenças entre as aplicações CSAI2-RD e IPED. Finalmente, a menor alteração mensurável (SWC) foi utilizada para detectar variações nas pontuações dos testes. Os resultados pós-intervenção mostram um aumento de algumas das capacidades psicológicas para a prática desportiva, e a obtenção e manutenção do IZOF em alguns participantes. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumen OBJETIVO: Analizar los desenlaces en pacientes con y sin antecedente de cirugía antiincontinencia tratadas con electroterapia y biorretroalimentación (biofeedback). Además, valorar con un cuestionario validado en español la disminución de los episodios de incontinencia y su repercusión en la calidad de vida. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio de cohorte, retrospectivo, efectuado en dos grupos de pacientes: uno con incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo con tratamiento quirúrgico previo y el otro sin este antecedente. A los dos grupos se les administró electroterapia con biofeedback en 8 y 12 sesiones. La severidad se valoró con el Índice de Severidad de Sandvik y la disminución de los síntomas con la escala visual análoga y la mejoría percibida por la paciente. La calidad de vida se evaluó con el King's Health Questionnaire validado al español. RESULTADOS: Se analizó la situación de 68 pacientes: 20 con antecedente de cirugía incontinencia y 48 sin este antecedente. En ambos grupos se reportó disminución en la cantidad de episodios de incontinencia a partir de la octava sesión. En los dos grupos se registró un incremento estadísticamente significativo en la puntuación del King's Health Questionnaire en los dominios II, III y IV. En el grupo sin el antecedente de cirugía antiincontinencia se incrementó el puntaje de los dominios V y VII. CONCLUSIONES: La electroterapia asociada con biofeedback en pacientes con incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo, con y sin tratamiento quirúrgico previo, no demostró diferencia en los desenlaces.


Abstract OBJECTIVE: To analyze the outcomes in patients with and without a history of anti-incontinence surgery treated with electrotherapy and biofeedback. In addition, to assess with a validated questionnaire in Spanish the reduction of incontinence episodes and their impact on quality of life. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was carried out in two groups of patients: one with stress urinary incontinence with previous surgical treatment and the other without this history. Both groups were administered electrotherapy with biofeedback in 8 and 12 sessions. Severity was assessed with the Sandvik Severity Index and symptom reduction with the visual analog scale and the improvement perceived by the patient. Quality of life was assessed with the King´s Health Questionnaire validated in Spanish. RESULTS: The situation of 68 patients was analyzed: 20 with a history of incontinence surgery and 48 without this history. Both groups reported a decrease in the number of incontinence episodes after the eighth session. In both groups there was a statistically significant increase in the King´s Health Questionnaire score in domains II, III and IV. In the group without the history of anti-incontinence surgery, the score of domains V and VII increased. CONCLUSIONS: Electrotherapy associated with biofeedback in patients with stress urinary incontinence, with and without previous surgical treatment, showed no difference in outcomes.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN En los pacientes con mielomeningocele e incontinencia fecal la biorretroalimentacion manometrica produce mejoría clínica con continencia satisfactoria. OBJETIVO Comprobar si se mantienen los resultados funcionales y la mejoría en la calidad de vida percibida en estos pacientes y sus padres, obtenidos al año de finalizada la terapia con biorretroalimentación. MÉTODO Estudio longitudinal, analítico y observacional. Participaron junto a sus padres, pacientes con mielomeningocele de 6 y 16 años que presentaron incontinencia fecal inicial, recibieron tratamiento con biorretroalimentación finalizado el año anterior y completaron las encuestas de calidad de vida. Se obtuvieron consentimiento y asentimiento informado y el cuestionario genérico PedsQL tm Luego se realizó la manometría recto-anal. Se utilizó para el análisis Test de Student, Fisher y Chi cuadrado. RESULTADOS 17 pacientes y sus padres fueron incluidos. Sexo femenino 8 (47,1%). Edad 11,47 ± 3,33 años. 13 pacientes (76,5%) no usaban pañales, 9 (53%) no presentaban incontinencia fecal. Todos con evacuación espontánea y en inodoro. No se observaron diferencias significativas en los parametros manometricos comparados al año de finalizar el tratamiento, a excepción del volumen de tolerancia máxima. En cuanto al Test de calidad de vida al año del tratamiento, en los niños se observó una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en el aspecto escolar, con respecto a los valores al finalizar el tratamiento, esto último quizás a un menor número de inasistencias escolares. En los padres no se observaron diferencias estadísticas, respecto al test previo. DISCUSIÓN Con este estudio hemos podido comprobar que es posible brindar una solución al problema de la incontinencia fecal en niños con mielomeningocele, estable en el tiempo, manteniendo los resultados funcionales y la mejoría en la calidad de vida percibida en estos pacientes y sus padres, al año de finalizada la terapia con biorretroalimentación

ABSTRACT

La constipación es un síntoma frecuente. La mayoría de los pacientes responden a medidas conservadoras. Entre los que no responden el subtipo más frecuente es la disfunción anorrectal, que se refiere a la evacuación incompleta de la materia fecal del recto debido a la contracción paradójica o a la falta de relajación de los músculos del piso pelviano durante el esfuerzo, la denominada defecación disinérgica. Se la considera un trastorno del comportamiento, dado que no se ha observado ninguna enfermedad orgánica relacionada. Se ha recomendado el tratamiento de biorretroalimentación, que involucra un procedimiento dedicado a enseñar a los pacientes cómo relajar los músculos del piso pelviano y mejorar los empujes cuando se intenta defecar. Algunos ensayos no controlados habían sugerido que la biorretroalimentación era beneficiosa en la defecación disinérgica tanto en niños como en adultos. Recientemente se publicaron tres ensayos controlados aleatorizados en adultos, que proporcionaron resultados concordantes. Se demostró consistentemente que es un tratamiento eficaz y específico para la defecación disinérgica. Se demostró que el re entrenamiento es mucho más eficaz que el macrogol, el diazepam (relajante del músculo esquelético) y los procedimientos de relajación simulados en la constipación secundaria a defecación disinérgica. Hemos obtenido pruebas inequívocas de que la terapia de biorretroalimentación es el tratamiento de elección en la defecación disinérgica de los adultos constipados.


Constipation is a commonly reported symptom. Mostpatients respond to conservative measures. Among nonresponders,outlet dysfunction is the most commonsubtype. It refers to incomplete evacuation of fecal materialfrom the rectum due to paradoxical contraction orfailure to relax the pelvic floor muscles when straining,the so-called dyssynergic defecation. It is considered abehavioral disorder, since no related organic disease hasbeen evidenced. Biofeedback treatment has been recommended. Biofeedback involves use of dedicatedmachinery to teach patients how to relax the pelvic floormuscles and to improve pushing effort when strainingto defecate. A number of uncontrolled trials hadsuggested biofeedback to be beneficial in dyssynergicdefecation both in children and in adults. This has notbeen confirmed by controlled randomized trials inchildren. In adults, three randomized controlled trials havebeen recently published giving concordant results. Biofeedback has been consistently shown to be an effective and specific therapy for dyssynergic defecation. Retraining has been shown to be significantly more effective than macrogol, diazepam (skeletal musclerelaxant), and sham relaxation procedures in constipation secondary to dyssynergic defecation. We have gainedunequivocal evidence that biofeedback therapy is the treatment of choice for dyssynergic defecation inconstipated adults.

Abstract: Panic disorder is a complex phenomenon according to its biochemical and psychosocial etiology. Therapeutic interventions of panic disorder are aimed to promote effectiveness through the combined use of medication and behavioral cognitive therapy. Anxiety is a normal human response. Moderate levels of anxiety are well accepted because they act as an aid to improve performance, and high levels of anxiety are experienced as normal if they are consistent with the demands of the situation. Persons with anxiety disorders complain of experiencing anxiety too often but they seek help also to overcome fears they recognize as irrational and intrusive. From a psychological point of view, behavioral cognitive techniques -such as hyperventilation control, exposure, and cognitive therapy- and structured problem solving have been successful in the treatment of the symptoms associated to anxiety. It is worth to emphasize that graded exposure is perhaps the most powerful technique assisting patients to overcome fearful situations. Cognitions are also important because it has been found that panic attacks occur when people process information in the external environment, as well as internal somatic stimuli, as though they were threatening experiences. In other words, they feel they have no control over their sensations. Panic attacks prevalence in Mexico City is 1.1% in men and 2.5% in women. It is more frequent among 25-to 34- year old single men and married women, with an average scholarity between 7 and 9 years. From a biological point of view, it is suggested that the etiology of panic attacks involves the participation of the serotonergic and adrenergic neurotransmitter systems, as well as the GABA/ benzodiacepine. Studies based on the noradrenergic theory had lead to conclude that panicking patients have more sensitive brainstem carbon dioxide receptors than normal control subjects. At the same time, other lines of work indicate that serotonergic transmission may also play an important role in the genesis of panic attacks. It has been found that patients with panic disorder may have a lower tolerance threshold to methoclorophenylpiperazine response than control subjects because of hypertensive serotonergic receptors. The accumulated laboratory evidence seems to support the idea that panic attacks begin with the stimulation of irritable foci in one of three brainstem areas: the medullary chemoreceptors, the noradrenergic pontine locus coeruleus, or the serotonergic midbrain dorsal raphe. On the other hand, biofeedback is a psychophysiological intervention that allows in the first place for the external control of some of the physical symptoms involved in this disorder, which is later transferred to internal control of psychophysiological cognitions and behaviors that enable the patient to prevent symptom's occurrence. Based on the principles of the General Systems Theory, biofeedback utilizes the concepts of self regulation and disregulation to describe the conditions under wich normally integrated self-regulatory systems may become imbalanced with regard to their positive and negative feedback loops. Technically, all that a person needs to do is to attend to the signals feedback and not to "try" to control them; the effects of a positive feedback loop should occur automatically, without conscious awareness, as long as the person processes the stimuli. Biofeedback has been effectively used in the treatment of essential hypertension, migraine headaches, Raynaud's disease, tension headaches, temporomandibular joint syndrome, asthma, primary dysmenorrhea, peptic ulcers, fecal incontinence, and conditioning of electroencephalographic rhythms, among other problems. The present study reports data from 32 panic disorder outpatients from the National Psychiatry Institute, Mexico City. They were randomly assigned to: Control Group (N = 14): daily doses of 75 milligrams of imipramine. The participants of this group were required to assist to the psychology department in order to obtain a baseline (pre-test and post-test) with the biofeedback equipment. In addition, every two weeks they visited a psychiatrist who verified that there were no collateral effects from the medicament. Experimental Group (N = 18): besides daily doses of imipramine, and visits to the psychiatrist, these patients went through eight multimodal biofeedback and behavioral cognitive techniques which were assisted with relaxation training sessions. All biofeedback sessions lasted 30 minutes divided in six five-minute trails. The first and final trials served to stabilize the biological responses, and the four middle trials were used to give biofeedback and reinforcement to the response being trained in addition to the verbal explanation of the changes occurring on the screen of the computer. All patients were assessed with the Anxiety Sensitivity Index, and with Beck's Anxiety and Depression Inventories. Results showed that patients in the experimental group reported significant lower scores in the anxiety sensitivity index than the control group. Post-test differences showed that the electromiographic and electrodermic activity from the experimental group was lower than the one from the control group. Diaphragmatic respiration training and progressive muscular relaxation and imagery proved to be effective in reducing the symptoms associated to panic attacks. The overall final result is that all patients improved clinically. They verbally reported that the intensity, frequency and evitative behaviors derived from panic attacks had almost disappeared. However, the cognitive factor of anxiety sensitivity changed significanty only in the experimental group. These findings support the hypothesis that clinical improvement results from a symptom "reattribution" which gives them cognitive skills to cope with stressing stimuli. Further studies should reassess the effectiveness of the combined treatment (imipramine and behavioral cognitive techniques). It is also recommended to expand the study to generalized anxiety disorder and to adjust the experimental design in order to incorporate a second phase with neurofeedback as independent variable. Equally important is to investigate the mechanisms of the hypnotic ability and its impact on the clinical improvement of anxiety disorders.
