No. of bitstreams: 2 Dissertação - Sérgio Alberto Cunha Vencio - 2017.pdf: 2722594 bytes, checksum: 80a33a6cb62da8ad55462ad15376f83c (MD5) license_rdf: 0 bytes, checksum: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-10-30 / Objective - To evaluate the HPA axis and the mental health status in a non-pathological dissociation condition (mediumship) Methods - In this prospective and controlled study, 29 psychophonic mediums (group 1) were evaluated before and after psychophony and compared to 22 non-medium volunteers of the same religious context (group 2) before and after a creative visualization, simulating a mediumistic assistance. Plasma catecholamines, ACTH, cortisol and glucose were measured pre-and 1 hour after the intervention. A structured questionnaire - DDIS was applied (Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule) and the results were compared with historical data from patients with dissociative disorder (DD) who answered the DDIS. Results - In group 1, cortisol and ACTH decreased (14.7 μg/dl to 11.2 μg/dl with p-0.001 and 20.6 pg/ml to 13.9 pg/ml with p-0.001, respectively), However, the HPA axis showed diversified responses with epinephrine and noradrenaline decreasing after the intervention (39 pg/ml at 33 pg/ml and 311.2 pg/ml at 284.1 pg/ml, respectively) and an increased in dopamine (41.7 pg/ml to 44.4 pg/ml with p-0.046). In group 2, cortisol decreased from 15.5 μg/dl to 13.4 μg/dl (p -0.01). The scores obtained in the structured interview (DDIS) were similar in both groups, but with considerable differences when compared with historical data from TD patients. Conclusion - This study showed that one hour after psychophony the HPA axis remains preserved in mediums. Dopamine is the main neurochemistry of religious manifestations and may eventually constitute a biomarker of this phenomenon. / Objetivo - Avaliar o eixo HHA e o estado de saúde mental em uma condição de dissociação não-patológica (mediunidade) Métodos - Neste estudo prospectivo e controlado, 29 médiuns de psicofonia (grupo1) foram avaliados pré e pós psicofonia e comparados com 22 voluntários não médiuns do mesmo contexto religioso (grupo 2) pré e pós uma visualização criativa, simulando uma assistência mediúnica. Catecolaminas plasmáticas, ACTH, cortisol e glicose foram medidas pré e 1 hora após a intervenção. Um questionário estruturado DDIS foi aplicado (Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule) e os resultados foram comparados com dados históricos de pacientes com transtorno dissociativo (TD) que responderam ao DDIS. Resultados - No grupo 1, o cortisol e o ACTH diminuíram (14,7 μg/dl para 11,2 μg/dl com p- 0,001 e 20,6 pg/ml para 13,9 pg/ml com p-0,001, respectivamente), apesar disso, o eixo HHA mostrou respostas diversificadas com epinefrina e noradrenalina diminuindo após a intervenção (39 pg/ml a 33 pg/ml e 311,2 pg/ml para 284,1 pg/ml, respectivamente) e aumento da dopamina (41,7 pg/ml a 44,4 pg/ml com p-0,046). No grupo 2, o cortisol diminuiu de 15,5 μg/dl para 13,4 μg/dl (p-0,01). Os escores obtidos na entrevista estruturada (DDIS) foram semelhantes nos dois grupos, porém com diferenças consideráveis quando comparados com os valores históricos de pacientes com TD. Conclusão - Este estudo mostrou que uma hora após a psicofonia o eixo HHA permanece preservado em médiuns. A dopamina é a principal neuroquímica de manifestações religiosas e pode eventualmente se constituir num marcador desse fenômeno.
