Abstract
Context and objective: Cognitive-behavioral therapy is frequently indicated for panic disorder. The aim here was to evaluate the efficacy of a model for cognitive-behavioral therapy for treating panic disorder with agoraphobia.
Design and setting: Randomized clinical trial at Instituto de Psiquiatria da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro.
Methods: A group of 50 patients with a diagnosis of panic disorder with agoraphobia was randomized into two groups to receive: a) cognitive-behavioral therapy with medication; or b) medication (tricyclic antidepressants or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors).
Results: Although there was no difference between the groups after the treatment in relation to almost all variables with the exception of some items of the Sheehan disability scale and the psychosocial and environmental problems scale, the patients who received the specific therapy presented significant reductions in panic attacks, anticipatory anxiety, agoraphobia avoidance and fear of body sensations at the end of the study, in relation to the group without the therapy. On the overall functioning assessment scale, overall wellbeing increased from 60.8% to 72.5% among the patients in the group with therapy, thus differing from the group without therapy.
Conclusion: Although both groups responded to the treatment and improved, we only observed significant differences between the interventions on some scales. The association between specific cognitive-behavioral therapy focusing on somatic complaints and pharmacological treatment was effective among this sample of patients with panic disorder and the response was similar in the group with pharmacological treatment alone.
CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO:: A terapia cognitivo-comportamental é frequentemente indicada para o transtorno de pânico. O objetivo foi avaliar a eficácia de um modelo de terapia cognitivo-comportamental no tratamento do transtorno de pânico com agorafobia.
TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL:: Ensaio clínico aleatório no Instituto de Psiquiatria da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro.
MÉTODOS:: Um grupo de 50 pacientes com diagnóstico de transtorno de pânico com agorafobia foi randomizado em dois grupos para receber a) terapia cognitivo-comportamental com medicação ou b) medicação (antidepressivos tricíclicos ou inibidores seletivos da recaptação da serotonina) sem terapia.
RESULTADOS:: Embora não se tenha observado diferença entre os grupos após o tratamento em quase todas as variáveis, com exceção de alguns itens da Escala de Incapacitação de Sheehan e da Escala de Problemas Psicossociais e Ambientais, ao final do estudo os pacientes que receberam a terapia específica apresentaram significativa redução dos ataques de pânico, ansiedade antecipatória, esquiva agorafóbica e medo das sensações corporais em relação ao grupo sem a terapia. Na escala de avaliação global do funcionamento aumentou o bem-estar global de 60,8% para 72,5% entre os pacientes do primeiro grupo, diferentemente do segundo grupo.
CONCLUSÃO:: Embora ambos os grupos tenham respondido ao tratamento e melhorado, observamos diferença significativa entre as duas intervenções apenas em poucas escalas. A associação de terapia cognitivo-comportamental específica centrada nas queixas corporais, associada ao tratamento farmacológico, foi eficaz nesta amostra de pacientes com transtorno de pânico e agorafobia e semelhante ao grupo apenas com tratamento farmacológico.
