Efetividade da drenagem linfática manual associada a bandagem funcional na melhora clínica do fibro edema gelóide em gestantes: ensaio clínico, controlado e randomizado Resumo No período gestacional, mulheres podem desencadear disfunções hormonais que induzem ao acúmulo de edema e nódulos fibróticos, favorecendo a formação de relevos cutâneos ocasionando sensação dolorosa. Sendo assim, este estudo visou comparar a efetividade da drenagem linfática manual com ou sem o uso da bandagem funcional no fibro edema gelóide (FEG) em gestantes no segundo e terceiro trimestre gestacional. Trata-se de um ensaio clínico randomizado, composta por três grupos: G1: Drenagem Linfática Manual (DLM); G2: DLM + Bandagem Funcional (BF); G3: Grupo Controle. Critério de inclusão: gestantes no segundo e terceiro trimestre, primípara e multípara e gestação de feto único. Realizou-se a DLM na região dos glúteos e membros inferiores e a BF aplicada da região inguinal em forma de teia direcionada a região medial dos glúteos, usando uma tensão superficial de 10%. Utilizou-se um protocolo de avaliação do fibro edema gelóide (PAPEG), anamnese, exame físico com inspeção, teste de preensão, teste de sensibilidade tátil (monofilamento de semmes-weinstein), avaliação da sensibilidade, grau, dor, recomendação e satisfação da paciente. Foram realizadas fotos da região do glúteo do antes e depois e avaliadas por 10 especialistas através da fotogrametria. Observou-se uma melhora clínica significativa no grupo drenagem e na associação com a bandagem quando comparado ao grupo controle pelos 10 especialistas. Houve uma melhora significativa nas notas dos especialistas nos grupos G1 e G2, quando comparado ao G3. Portanto, o presente estudo demonstrou uma melhora clínica no fibro edema gelóide das gestantes que receberam a DLM isolada, e na associação com a BF, quando comparado ao grupo controle.
Background Shoulder pain has been found to be the second most frequent acute musculoskeletal complaint presenting in general practice and the third most common site of musculoskeletal pain in the community. Approximately 10% of people will have one or more episodes of shoulder pain during their lifetime. Although local steroid injections are one of the most common treatments, there is no strong evidence to support their use and they have potential adverse effects. The optimum timing of steroid injections is also still unclear. Objectives To assess the efficacy and safety of steroid injections for patients with shoulder pain at six, 12 and 18 months after subacromial steroid injection, correlate ultrasound changes and with time course of shoulder pain and treatment outcomes. Methods In a prospective study, 86 patients with shoulder pain were evaluated for demographic and clinical data and a visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. In all was performed a shoulder ultrasound. Ultrasound operator evaluated for the presence of rotator cuff tendinopathy, tear or impingement, subacromial bursa fluid or wall thickening, abnormalities of the long head of the biceps tendon, or calcification Seventy-four patients underwent a subacromial corticosteroids injection with methylprednisolone, ultrasound guided. Treatment efficacy was evaluated a one month, six, 12 and 18 months. The primary outcome measure was a 10-cm VAS for shoulder pain intensity. The mean age was 67.9±12.4 years and the men disease duration was 25.5±14.5 months. Results Right shoulder was more commonly involved (74%). Rotator cuff tendinopathy was found in 67%, subacromial bursa fluid in 38%, calcification in 27%, signs of impingement in 42.8%, adhesive capsulitis in 8.9%, partial tears of rotator cuff in 12.5%. Median visual analog scale (VAS) pain score was 8,4 before treatment, 7.7, 5.4 and 4.1 at 6, 12 and 18 months after treatment, respectively. The patients with subacromial bursa fluid showed a significantly greater improvement in VAS scores compared with patients with not had (p<0.05). In patients with nocturnal pain the treatment response was better (p=0,06). In patients with calcifications the response was worse (p<0,05). The patientsunderwent a subacromial corticosteroids injections in first 6 months of disease duration had a better response (p<0, 05) in the shoulder pain reduction. There were no complications observed. Conclusions The subacromial steroid injection was more effective in patients with subacromial bursa fluid, with nocturnal pain and in the first six months of disease. Patients with calcification in ultrasound had a poor response. The subacromial steroid injection was safe, there were no complications observed Disclosure of Interest None Declared
