Resumo
The effects of a single oral dose of carbamazepine (CBZ, 200mg), diazepam (DZP, 5mg) or placebo (PLA) were studied in healthy volunteers submitted to the Video-recorded Stroop Color-Word Test (VRSCWT), under double-blind conditions. Twenty-four subjects were randomly assigned to each treatment group (eight in each) and submitted to the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before, during and after the test situation. The results showed that CBZ treatment prevented the increase of state-anxiety scores observed after submitting the subjects to the VRSCWT. Anxiety scores after DZP did not differ from the RA or CBZ group. We concluded that carbamazepine exerts a possible anxiolytic effect in the Stroop-Color Word model of anxiety induction.
