Resumen
LASTRE-MEZA, Karina Sofía y BARCELO MARTINEZ, Ernesto Alejandro. Vitiligo, psychological stress and biochemistry of the brain: A systematic review from neuroscience. Psicogente [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.50, pp.153-172. Epub 01-Oct-2023. ISSN 0124-0137. https://doi.org/10.17081/psico.26.50.6399.
Objective:
The purpose of this study is to establish the mechanisms of biochemical activity through psychological stress that influence vitiligo disease from a neuroscientific perspective, through a systematic review of the literature of the last 5 years.
Method:
Systematic search was carried out in the Scopus, PubMed and Web of Science databases to identify studies describing Vitiligo disease, psychological stress and brain biochemistry, inclusion and exclusion criteria were established for the selection of articles, their quality and relevance were evaluated.
Results:
The systematic review yielded 15,503 articles, of which 70 were pre-selected as reported in the summary and validated for full reading. For the narrative synthesis 23 scientific articles were used.
Conclusion:
Vitiligo disease is closely related to psychological stress and is accompanied by a biochemical imbalance that leads to an inflammatory and destructive process of skin melanocytes.
