El estrés y los estados emocionales subjetivamente desagradables ejercen un papel relevante en la precipitación de las crisis asmáticas. La psicoterapia autógena como tratamiento coadyuvante en el asma se muestra eficaz, logrando una disminución global de la psicopatología de estos pacientes reflejada en las puntuaciones obtenidas en las distintas escalas empleadas (IRE-32 items, SCL-90 y SDS). La mejoría, sin embargo, sólo fue significativa en la escala de somatización del SCL-90 y en el SDS.
Stress and subjective unpleasant emotional conditions play a main role in precipitating asthma attacks. Autogenic psychotherapy proves to be an efficient adjunct treatment in asthma achieving a decrease in the scores of the different scales used in our study (IRE-32 items, SCL-90 and SDS). Significant differences were only obtained in SCL-90 somatization scale and SDS.
