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.
