ABSTRACT

Objective: To validate the Jarricot dermatome pain test as a diagnostic test for an organic state of stress. Methods: Validity and reliability study of a test re-test for Jarricot dermatome pain test. Sample of 32 participants by volunteers. Two physiotherapists performed the reflex test measurement of Jarricot dermalgias. A psychologist administered the Hamilton anxiety test. Cohen kappa was used to calculate concordance and intraclass correlation coefficient to calculate reliability. Spearman coefficient was used to correlate the number of positive dermalgias with Hamilton anxiety. Results: The interobsevadores agreement was: pancreas 0.87, jejunum 0.87, descendant colon 0.93, bile duct 0.90, ascendant colon 0.84, heart 0.75, liver 0.75, stomach 0.75, gallbladder 0.78, duodenum 0.74, and ileum 0.51. The intraobserver agreement was: heart 0.87, liver 0.81, pancreas 1, jejunum 0.87, descendant colon 0.86, gallbladder 0.92, ascendant colon 0.92, stomach 0.75, ileum 0.76, bile duct 0.74, and duodenum 0.61. Interobserver ICC (the intraclass coefficient correlation) was 0.98 and ICC intraobservador was 0.99. The Spearman coefficient was 0.7. Conclusion: The test of Jarricot dermalgias reflex is valid and reliable, having a strong and significant correlation between the number of positive dermalgias test score and Hamilton anxiety. Although the correlation is strong and significant, it would be advisable to perform studies using probabilistic sample to confirm this evidence.
