Resumo: | Interoception is currently defined as the conscious and unconscious perception of internal bodily states. Researchers and clinicians have been struggling to fully understand its meaning and how to measure it, thus the investigation on this topic is not yet fully established. It has been suggested that in chronic pain conditions, such as Fibromyalgia, disruption of the interoceptive pathway may contribute to changes in body awareness and some subjective symptoms that these individuals, who experienced long-term pain, complain. Fibromyalgia individuals are also known to have cognitive impairment. Recent studies on interoception suggest that interoception is related to cognitive processes. Based on this knowledge it was hypothesized a relationship between cognitive functioning in Fibromyalgia and Interoception. Thus, the aim of the current study was to investigate perception of body states in Fibromyalgia, more specifically, Interoceptive Accuracy and Interoceptive Sensibility and its relationship with cognitive functioning in Fibromyalgia. Twenty-nine FM patients were recruited. They were assessed with heartbeat detection task, Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) and neuropsychological memory and attention task, i.e. Digit Span test and Stroop Task. Psychological and Fibromyalgia clinical characteristics were also assessed. The results showed that the individuals less accurate in interoception heartbeat detection task have poorer cognitive performance in shortterm memory and cognitive inhibition. Furthermore, increased self-reported ability to regulate body signals was related to a decreased working memory performance. These results suggest the importance of distinguishing the different dimensions of interoception and to discriminate the cognitive resources needed to interoception, as well as the cognitive impact of interoceptive symptom monitoring in chronic pain populations. Due to its possible clinical implications, we believe that this may be an area of interoception research that deserves deepen study in the future. |

Os investigadores e clínicos têm-se esforçado por compreender plenamente o seu significado e a sua forma de medição, pelo que a investigação sobre este assunto ainda não está totalmente estabelecida. Tem sido sugerido que em condições de dor crónica, tais como a Fibromialgia, a perturbação da via interoceptiva pode contribuir para mudanças na consciência corporal e alguns sintomas subjetivos de que estes indivíduos, que sentiram dor a longo prazo, se queixam. Sabe-se também que os indivíduos com Fibromialgia têm dificuldades cognitivas. Estudos recentes sugerem que a interoceção está relacionada com processos cognitivos. Com base neste conhecimento, proposta a hipótese de existir uma relação entre o funcionamento cognitivo na Fibromialgia e a Interoceção. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar a perceção dos estados corporais na Fibromialgia, mais especificamente, a Precisão Interoceptiva e a Sensibilidade Interoceptiva e a sua relação com o funcionamento cognitivo na Fibromialgia. Foram recrutados vinte e nove pacientes com Fibromialgia, que foram avaliados com tarefa de deteção dos batimentos cardíacos, o questionário de Avaliação Multidimensional de Sensibilidade Interoceptiva (MAIA) e tarefas neuropsicológicas de memória e de atenção (Digit Span Test e Stroop Task). Foram também avaliadas as características psicológicas e clínicas da Fibromialgia. Os resultados mostraram que os indivíduos menos precisos na tarefa de deteção dos batimentos cardíacos tinham um desempenho cognitivo inferior na memória a curto prazo e inibição cognitiva. Além disso, o aumento da capacidade autorregulação de sinais corporais estava relacionado com uma diminuição do desempenho da memória de trabalho. Estes resultados sugerem a importância de distinguir as diferentes dimensões da interoceção e de discriminar os recursos cognitivos necessários à mesma, bem como o impacto cognitivo da monitorização dos sintomas de interoceção nas populações de dor crónica. Devido às suas possíveis implicações clínicas, acreditamos que interoceção é uma área de investigação que merece um estudo mais aprofundado no futuro.Canaipa, Rita IsabelTreister, RoiVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaCamolas, Mariana Ferreira2022-05-04T07:56:34Z2021-07-3020212021-07-30T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/37417TID:202898423enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:42:52Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/37417Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:30:28.831628Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
