Efetividade do uso tópico do óleo essencial de Alpinia zerumbet no tratamento de pacientes com fibromialgia

Melo, Lorena Almeida de 20 August 2014 (has links)
Fibromyalgia is a rheumatic syndrome characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain without organic changes. The syndrome is frequently associated also with other symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disturbances, morning stiffness, dyspnea, depression and anxiety, resulting in a lower quality of health of life, that determines interest by patients complementary therapy with alternative medicine. Alpinia zerumbet studies demonstrated muscle relaxing action, anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive and anxiolytic.The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of the topical use of bioproduct based essential oil of Alpinia zerumbet, in the treatment of patients with fibromyalgia. A clinical trial of type II, randomized, controlled for 8 weeks in 39 patients, all female, mean age 50.8 ± 2.44. After fulfilling the inclusion criteria for the study, patients were divided into three groups: control group (n = 10) no treatment; essential oil of Alpinia zerumbet group (n = 10; mL/7Kg 0:05); and amytriptiline group (n = 19; 25 mg / day). The variables evaluated were: pain, depression, sleep quality, anxiety and quality of life through of specific questionnaires; levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1â, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-á, IL-2R); levels of some hormones of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis (total T3, total T4, IGF-1, GH, ACTH, norepinephrine, cortisol, epinephrine and dopamine), and serum biochemical parameters related to nociception (serotonin and 5 - HIAA).The results of the questionnaires in the group treated with OEAz had significantly lower scores compared to the control group for depression, quality of sleep and quality of life (p <0.01, 0.05 and 0.01); and between anxiety and OEAz and AMT (p <0.01). Significant increase in levels of IL-1, IL-8, and TNF-á (p <0.05, 0.01 and 0.001) in the group AMT. The serum cortisol levels were reduced significantly (p <0.05), while dopamine levels were elevated (p <0.05). There was no difference in serum total T3, total T4, IGF-1, GH, ACTH and norepinephrine; in serum IL-6 and IL-2R; and the and the symptoms of pain, independently of treatment modality (p> 0.05). There was a positive correlation between increased serum serotonin levels and improves sleep quality (r = 0.734, p = 0.038); and negative correlation between cortisol and quality of life (r = 0.5, p = 0.04) in the group treated with EOAz. We conclude that the EOAz significant improvement in sleep, depressive and quality of life symptoms, in addition to some clinical serum levels in fibromyalgia. / A fibromialgia e uma sindrome reumatica caracterizada por dor musculo-esqueletica generalizada sem alteracoes organicas demonstraveis. A sindrome tambem e frequentemente associada com outros sintomas, tais como, fadiga, disturbios do sono, rigidez matinal, dispneia, depressao e ansiedade, resultando em uma baixa qualidade de vida, determinando interesse por parte pacientes na medicina alternativa como complementar terapeutica. Estudos com Alpinia zerumbet demonstraram acao relaxante muscular, antiinflamatoria, antinociceptiva e ansiolitica. O objetivo geral deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos terapeuticos do uso topico do bioproduto a base do oleo essencial da Alpinia zerumbet no tratamento de pacientes com a fibromialgia. Foi desenvolvido um ensaio clinico do tipo II, randomico, controlado, por 8 semanas em 39 pacientes, todas do genero feminino, com media de idade 50,8 }2,44. Apos preencherem os criterios de inclusao para o estudo, as pacientes foram divididas em tres grupos: Grupo Controle (n=10) sem tratamento; Grupo oleo essencial da Alpinia zerumbet (n=10; 0.05 mL/7Kg); e Grupo amitriptilina (n=19; 25 mg/dia). As variaveis avaliadas foram: dor, depressao, qualidade do sono, ansiedade e qualidade de vida por meio de questionarios especificos; niveis de citocinas pro-inflamatorias (IL-1 À, IL-6, IL-8, TNF- ¿, IL-2R); niveis de alguns hormonios do eixo hipotalamo-hipofise-adrenal (T3 total, T4 Total, IGF-1, GH, ACTH, noradrenalina, cortisol, adrenalina e dopamina), alem dos niveis sericos de parametros bioquimicos relacionados a nocicepcao (serotonina e 5-HIAA). Os resultados dos questionarios do grupo tratado com OEAz apresentaram, escores significativamente menores em relacao ao grupo controle para depressao, qualidade do sono e qualidade de vida (p<0,01, 0,05 e 0,01); e ansiedade entre OEAz e AMT (p<0,01). Foi encontrado um aumento significativo nos niveis de IL-1, IL-8, e TNF- ¿ (p <0,05, 0,01 e 0,001) no grupo AMT. Os niveis sericos de cortisol foram reduzidos significativamente (p <0,05), enquanto que os niveis de dopamina foram elevados (p <0,05). Nao houve diferenca nos niveis sericos de T3 total, T4 total, IGF-1, GH, ACTH e noradrenalina; nos niveis sericos de IL-6 e IL- 2R; e nos sintomas de dor, independentemente da modalidade de tratamento (p> 0,05). Houve correlacao positiva entre o aumento dos niveis sericos de serotonina e melhora na qualidade do sono (r = 0,734, p = 0,038); e correlacao negativa entre cortisol e qualidade de vida (r = 0,5; p = 0,04) no grupo tratado com EOAz. Conclui-se que o EOAz melhora significativa no sono, sintomas depressivos e qualidade de vida, alem de alguns niveis sericos clinicos nas fibromialgicas.
