BackgroundAcupuncture therapy for preventive and treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV), a condition which commonly present after anaesthesia and surgery is a subject of growing interest. ObjectiveThis paper included a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effect of different type of acupuncture and acupoint selection in PONV prevention and treatment. MethodsRandomised controlled trials(RCTs) comparing acupuncture with non-acupuncture treatment were identified from databases PubMed, Cochrane, EBSCO, Ovid, CNKI and Wanfangdata. Meta-analysis on eligible studies was performed using fixed-effects model with RevMan 5.2. Results were expressed as RR for dichotomous data, with 95%CI. ResultsThirty RCTs, 1276 patients (intervention) and 1258 patients (control) were identified. Meta-analysis showed that PC6 acupuncture significantly reduced the number of cases of early vomiting (postoperative 0-6h) (RR=0.36, 95%CI 0.19,0.71; P=0.003) and nausea (postoperative 0-24h) (RR=0.25, 95%CI 0.10,0.61; P=0.002), but not early nausea (postoperative 0-6h) (RR=0.64, 95%CI 0.34,1.19; P=0.150) and vomiting (postoperative 0-24h) (RR=0.82, 95%CI 0.48,1.38; P=0.450). PC6 acupressure significantly reduced the number of cases of nausea (RR=0.71, 95%CI 0.57,0.87; P=0.001) and vomiting (RR=0.62, 95%CI 0.49,0.80; P=0.000) at postoperative 0-24h. PC6 electro-acupoint stimulation significantly reduced the number of cases of nausea (RR=0.49, 95%CI 0.38,0.63; P<0.000) and vomiting (RR=0.50, 95%CI 0.36,0.70; P<0.000) at postoperative 0-24h. Stimulation of PC6 with other acupoint(s) significantly reduced the number of cases of nausea and vomiting (RR=0.29, 95%CI 0.17,0.49; P<0.000) at postoperative 0-24h. Stimulation of other acupoint(s)(non PC6) also significantly reduced the number of cases of nausea and vomiting (RR=0.63, 95%CI 0.49,0.81; P=0.000) at postoperative 0-24h. However, the quality of study was generally low in studies of PC6 combined with other acupoint(s) and other acupoint(s). Details of blinding were not reported in most reports. ConclusionsBesides PC6, PC6 combined with other acupoint(s) and other alternative acupoint(s) might be beneficial in prevention and treatment of PONV, the evidence justifies future high-quality studies.

“…Two articles of this review (26,29) brought in their evaluation method the SF-36, a questionnaire translated and validated in Portuguese, which because it is generic (30) , it is able to evaluate different aspects, such as quality of life, fatigue and pain, through its domains, and this is a useful tool when it comes to a heterogeneous population, as in the case of hysterectomized women, because it is large, it can be applied regardless of age group, disease or treatment group (30) . Transcutaneous electrical stimulation and P6 acupressure proved to be beneficial, with a high degree of recommendation, in reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting (21,23,28) in this review. Molassiotis et al (31) conducted a similar study using a commercial elastic acupressure bracelet (Seaband®) to reduce nausea and vomiting in women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy, this bracelet being an elastic band with a plastic button, to perform only acupressure, without the presence of electric current.…”

Hysterectomy is the second most frequently performed surgery on the female genital tract. The patients submitted to this procedure are susceptible to complications that can be avoided by preventive measures, among them, the accomplishment of physiotherapy. This study aims to verify in the scientific literature the physiotherapeutic approaches in women submitted to hysterectomy. Systematic Researches of indexed articles were carried out in databases: Pubmed, LILACS, MEDLINE, PEDro e SciELO, between the years 2009 and 2019. 9 articles fit the inclusion and exclusion criteria determined to compose this systematic review. The main topics of physiotherapeutic activity found in the articles were: techniques for strengthening the pelvic floor musculature, breathing exercises, aerobic exercises and strengthening of the core, upper and lower extremities, transcutaneous electrical stimulation, evaluation of physical performance, fatigue, pain and quality of life, besides applying alternative techniques such as: acupuncture, electroacupuncture, auricular electrical stimulation, transcutaneous electrical stimulation, electric acustimulation and acupressure. There is a great diversity of studies showing beneficial effects in the different interventions developed, serving as a basis to direct the physiotherapeutic conducts in hysterectomy approaches, aiming at complementary resources for the best care of the patient undergoing this procedure. Keywords: Hysterectomy. Physical Therapy Modalities. Physical Therapy Specialty.
