Evaluation of acute low back pain in women after treatment with interferential current

Abstract: Introduction and objectives. Low back pain has become one of the major public health problems worldwide. Treatment is by the use of analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, but it must be taken into account that these have side-effects. Therefore, non-pharmacological therapies may be beneficial in patients at greater risk of developing chronic pain and disability, aiming to decrease pain. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of the Interferential current in women with acute low bac… Show more

“…Twenty-two studies were excluded after the review of the full article because of a lack of randomization, [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] using different study designs, 35,36 the lack of a control group, 37,38 different study populations (comparing two different treatments with one including ICF), 39,40 lack of the required outcome measures, [41][42][43] different languages, 44,45 inaccessibility of the full article, 46 and a lack of the desired intervention. 47 The final results included 33 trials in addition to two other trials 12,48 that were added after the manual search of the reference list (see Supplemental Digital Content 3, http://links.lww.com/ PHM/B380). There was complete agreement between the two reviewers who screened the articles for inclusion (κ = 1).…”

“…Este estudo comparou a adaptação da corrente interferencial bipolar com a observada na forma tetrapolar em mulheres com lombalgia não específica crônica, não sendo observadas diferenças em ambos os tipos de estimulação. As duas formas de terapia são utilizadas na prática clínica e pesquisas apontam para benefícios quando utilizadas para redução de quadros álgicos 3,6,15 , sendo que a forma tetrapolar, também denominada de "verdadeira", apresenta como vantagem maior espalhamento da corrente, dando assim maior área de tratamento. 16 Em pesquisa com indivíduos saudáveis, observou-se que a forma tetrapolar apresentou maior limiar de adaptação, ou seja, demorou um maior tempo entre o início da aplicação até o momento em que o voluntário relatou necessidade de aumentar a intensidade, ao comparar com a forma bipolar.…”

“…A dor lombar não específica leva à limitação da capacidade física, o que possibilita o uso de vários recursos terapêuticos, como agentes eletrofísicos para alívio da dor, o que pode facilitar para estes pacientes a participação em um programa de exercícios. 3,6,[17][18][19] Porém, a necessidade constante de readequações na intensidade da corrente pode ser dificultosa tanto para o paciente, quanto para o terapeuta, que necessita sempre estar próximo ao equipamento; desta forma, a observação de qual tipo de corrente, ou qual recurso possa garantir maior tempo sem necessidade de aumentar a intensidade devido adaptação ao estímulo mostra-se importante.…”

“…In the field of physical therapy, musculoskeletal pain has been considered as one of the leading causes for seeking rehabilitation [10]. Local heat [11], ultrasound [12], transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation [13], and interferential current (IFC) [14][15][16] are among the commonly used physiotherapeutic modalities for pain relief. IFC could be described as the application of two symmetrical but asynchronous medium frequency currents (1,000-10,000 Hz) to produce a new low-frequency current (amplitude modulated frequency) at a frequency between (0-250 Hz).…”
