Resumen
[ES]El temblor es un síntoma que puede llegar a ser muy incapacitante en la vida
diaria de la persona que lo sufre. Es uno de los síntomas más característicos de la
Enfermedad de Parkinson y en la literatura se asocia a un empeoramiento en variables
psicoemocionales que disminuyen la calidad de vida de las personas afectadas. En el
presente estudio se tomó una muestra de enfermos de Parkinson y se midió el temblor
de cada uno de ellos utilizando el Tromómetro de Barra. A su vez, se administraron
diversos cuestionarios con los que se evaluaron distintas variables psicológicas y
neuropsicológicas (ansiedad, deterioro cognitivo, nivel social y emocional, entre otras).
También se recabó información sociodemográfica (edad, sexo) y clínica de los
participantes (estadío de la enfermedad, tiempo de diagnóstico). El objetivo fue analizar
la posible relación entre el temblor y las distintas variables mencionadas. Por ejemplo,
si el estadío se relaciona con la aparición o no de temblor, o si mayor nivel de temblor
se relaciona con mayor ansiedad. Los resultados muestran que mayores niveles de
temblor se relacionan con mayor tiempo de diagnóstico y pertenencia a estadíos
superiores. También que los niveles altos de temblor no se relacionan con ansiedad ni
con bajo nivel emocional o social del enfermo en la muestra del estudio. Así mismo, no
se presentan las mismas frecuencias de temblor en las diferentes tipologías del mismo.
Como conclusión, existe relación entre el temblor y variables propias de la persona
(psicológicas, neuropsicológicas, sociodemográficas o clínicas).
[EN]Tremor is a symptom that can become very disabling in daily life of the person who suffers it. It is one of the most characteristic symptoms of Parkinson's Disease and in the literature it is associated with a deterioration in psycho-emotional variables that decrease the quality of life of affected people. In the present study a sample of Parkinson's patients was taken and tremor of each of them was measured using Tromómetro de Barra. At the same time, several questionnaires were administered with which different psychological and neuropsychological variables were evaluated (anxiety, cognitive deterioration, social and emotional level, among others). Sociodemographic information (age, sex) and clinic of the participants were also collected (stage of the disease, time of diagnosis). The objective was to analyze the possible relationship between tremor and the different variables mentioned. For example, if the stage is related to the appearance or not of tremor, or if higher level of tremor is related to higher anxiety. Results show that higher levels of tremor are related to longer time of diagnosis and belonging to higher stages. Also, high levels of tremor are not related to anxiety or low emotional or social level of the patient in the study’s sample. Likewise, the same tremor frequencies are not present in the different typologies of the same. In conclusion, there is a relationship between tremor and own variables of the person (psychological, neuropsychological, sociodemographic or clinical).
