Abstract

#Peripheral temperature is a useful measure for the evaluation of #sympathetic/parasympathetic activity. A non-invasive tool that allows evaluating the peripheral temperature of a patient without contact with the skin is the infrared thermal image (iTF). Various negative affective states (pain, anxiety, #depression, anger, #alexithymia, social isolation) increase sympathetic activity (decreasing peripheral temperature) and thereby increase pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin 6 (IL-6) which has been linked to affective alterations; while relaxation promotes parasympathetic activity (increasing peripheral temperature). We present the bio psychosocial evaluation of six patients with different concentrations of IL-6 with diagnoses of chronic non communicable diseases, their iTF pre-post psycho #physiological intervention in relaxation and their psychological profile for affective #diagnosis. Patients with a higher level of peripheral temperature (hands, nose) or ability to increase it, showed a psychosocial profile without emotional disturbances.
