Objectives: To compare the efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT) versus transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in the treatment of post-herpetic neuralgia of the sciatic nerve.Methods: A double-blinded randomized clinical study has included 56 patients (18 males and 38 females). Participants were randomly and equally assigned into 2 groups. Both groups received conventional physical therapy treatment. Moreover, group (A) has an additional TENS, and group (B) had PEMFT. Both modalities were applied once daily, 3 times a week for 20 minutes for 8 successive weeks. Visual analog scale (VAS) and carbamazepine intake (CMI) dose have been assessed before and after interventions.Results: There was a significant decrease in VAS and CMI post-treatment in group A and B compared with that pretreatment (P > .001). The percent decrease in VAS and CMI in group A were 72.44% and 69.47% respectively and that for group B was 68.95% and 67.94% respectively. The findings revealed a non-significant difference in VAS and CMI (P > .05) between groups. The Means of VAS and CMI were (2.4 ± 0.78, 204.5 ± 16.76 and 2.67 ± 0.9, 210.57 ± 16.5) in group A and group B respectively. The mean difference for VAS and CMI was (−0.27 and −6.07) between groups post-treatment respectively. Conclusion:Both TENS and PEMFT were effective and nearly equivalent in improving the post-herpetic neuralgia of the sciatic nerve as measured by in VAS and CMI. Clinical recommendations should be highlighted to instigate the using of TENS and PEMFT in the management of post-herpetic neuralgia of the sciatic nerve.Abbreviations: CMI = carbamazepine intake, HZ = herpes zoster, PEMFT = pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, PHN = post herpetic neuralgia, TENS = transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, VAS = visual analog scale, VZV = varicella zoster virus.

“…Desensitisation, 218 mirror box therapy, neural mobilisation techniques, dry needling and electrotherapy could provide additional pain relief. 219 Musculoskeletal pain due to immobility or the involvement of a vertebral body or joint is typically managed with exercises and mobilisation (neural, soft tissue and joint). 220 However, manual spinal mobilisation is contraindicated in those with spinal TB and an unstable vertebral column.…”

TB affects around 10.6 million people each year and there are now around 155 million TB survivors. TB and its treatments can lead to permanently impaired health and wellbeing. In 2019, representatives of TB affected communities attending the ‘1st International Post-Tuberculosis Symposium´ called for the development of clinical guidance on these issues. This clinical statement on post-TB health and wellbeing responds to this call and builds on the work of the symposium, which brought together TB survivors, healthcare professionals and researchers. Our document offers expert opinion and, where possible, evidence-based guidance to aid clinicians in the diagnosis and management of post-TB conditions and research in this field. It covers all aspects of post-TB, including economic, social and psychological wellbeing, post TB lung disease (PTLD), cardiovascular and pericardial disease, neurological disability, effects in adolescents and children, and future research needs.

“…Salienta-se que existem dois homúnculos, um sensitivo e outro motor, em cada hemisfério cerebral. Assim sendo, a área amputada possui uma representação no lobo parietal do cérebro, em seu giro pós-central e isso dificulta a interrupção da sensação do membro amputado (DE BENEDETTO et al, 2002;DI NOTO et al, 2013;SOUZA et al, 2016).…”

Introdução: O fenômeno do membro fantasma é definido como a experiência de possuir um órgão ausente responsável por gerar sensações ou dores, dando a percepção de que ele está presente. Esta condição envolve alterações físicas, sociais e psicológicas. Dessa forma, a pessoa amputada necessita de acompanhamento multidisciplinar que inclui terapeutas ocupacionais. Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar as estratégias de intervenção utilizadas pela Terapia Ocupacional no tratamento de pessoas amputadas com membros fantasma. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura. As buscas bibliográficas foram realizadas nas bases de dados: Embase e Scopus. Para ampliar a seleção das referências, a pesquisa estendeu-se aos materiais indexados no Google Scholar. Resultados: A amostra final foi composta por 54 trabalhos, publicados entre 2012 e 2022, e destes, apenas quatro trabalhos foram realizados também por terapeutas ocupacionais. O país que mais realizou estudos referentes à temática de amputados com membros fantasma foi os Estados Unidos (25,9%). No entanto, no Brasil não foi encontrado nenhum estudo de intervenção na área. Discussão: As intervenções realizadas pela Terapia Ocupacional foram: revestimento do coto (Farabloc); luva de prótese com feedback sensorial; imagens motoras graduadas associada com imagem mental e terapia de espelhos; e acupuntura. Conclusão: Na análise dos dados foi possível perceber a disparidade dos focos das pesquisa, entre aquelas que envolvem e as que não envolvem terapeutas ocupacionais, uma vez que, nas pesquisas em Terapia Ocupacional, as intervenções vão para além do ideal de aliviar ou eliminar a dor, objetivando também melhorar a capacidade funcional, o desempenho ocupacional e a qualidade de vida.
