“…The vast majority of patients are often simply being missed when it comes to psychological screening, even up to the point of discharge and beyond (Mahendraraj et al . ; Palmu et al . ), resulting in a missed opportunity to address existing or possible resulting mental health concerns for burns patients.…”

“…Research suggests that up to 25% of people who sustain a burn injury are likely to develop a mental health condition (Mahendraraj et al . ). Mental health outcomes are further mediated by factors associated with the patient experience, their perception of the level of trauma associated with the injury, as well as the circumstances of when the burn was sustained, and the subsequent treatment process (Cleary et al .…”

Advances in surgical techniques and wound management have improved outcomes for burn patients; however, the psychological impacts on burn survivors have had less attention. There is a higher rate of mental health disorders amongst burns victims, with those with pre-existing mental health conditions likely to have worse outcomes. To implement effective burns care and rehabilitation, knowledge and understanding of mental health issues is required. This position paper discusses the extent to which clinicians currently translate knowledge around mental health and burns into practice to identify enables and inhibitors. Successful knowledge translation requires dissemination and accessibility of information with the capacity and readiness for change. Clinicians and researchers need to identify how translating research to practice can meet the needs of burn survivors. There is a gap in the utilization of evidence concerning mental health and the needs of burns survivors, and we need to understand what we know as compared to what we do. Clinicians are well placed to determine how and why knowledge does not necessarily translate to practice and how they can better accommodate the needs of burn survivors.

“…(1,11) Acute stress disorder has been identified in patients hospitalized for various causes, including infectious, traumatic, ischemic and surgical processes; however, to date, that the physiological alteration secondary to these processes is, per se, a determining factor of the disorder has not been ruled out. (3,4) In 1901, Dr. Henry Head described some clinical cases in which previously healthy patients presented sudden behavioral changes parallel to a visceral disease. These changes included visual, auditory, and olfactory hallucinations; depression; exaltation; and suspicion.…”

“…To date, literature on the neural therapy approach to these patients is not available. (3)(4)(5) Neural Therapy Medicine (NTM), as it is called by the Colombian School of Neural Therapy, is a complex medical system characterized by a holistic perspective of the individual, based on an indissoluble relationship between mind and body within the framework of the principle of monism and its adoption in the physiological theory of nervism. The latter conceives the nervous system as the coordinator of all the physiopathological states of the body.…”

26case reports RESUMEN Introducción. El trastorno por estrés agudo es un cuadro de rápida instauración que se da luego de un evento traumático y se caracteriza por síntomas disociativos, intrusivos, de evitación y de activación que afectan la calidad de vida del paciente. A la fecha, no se ha evidenciado una relación causal orgánica de este trastorno y tampoco existe literatura sobre su intervención mediante terapia neural intrahospitalaria.Presentación del caso. Paciente femenino de 53 años quien desarrolló síntomas compatibles con un trastorno por estrés agudo posterior a la resección de una masa abdominal secundaria a un linfoma. La mujer fue valorada por el servicio de medicina neuralterapéutica, que intervino con procaína en sitios específicos de la piel -determinados por anamnesis y examen físico-con posterior mejoría de los síntomas disociativos.Discusión. El enfoque neuralterapeútico permitió, por un lado, identificar un vínculo entre los síntomas disociativos de la paciente y la alteración orgánica asociada, y, por el otro, hacer una intervención con la que se logró la resolución de tales síntomas.Conclusiones. La medicina neuralterapéutica ofrece estrategias de intervención a nivel hospitalario que pueden ir concomitantes al tratamiento instaurado por otras profesiones en el área de la salud ya que permite tener una perspectiva integral del paciente al considerar la estrecha relación funcional entre mente, emociones y cuerpo.ABSTRACT Introduction: Acute stress disorder is a picture of rapid onset that follows a traumatic event. It is characterized by dissociative, intrusive, avoidance and activation symptoms that affect the quality of life of the patient. To date, there is no evidence of a relationship between altered organ function and this disorder, and there is no literature on its treatment with neural therapy on an inpatient basis.
