“…Thus, short-term use of TENS in ambulance responses the required intensity may be less than that required for chronic or other types of acute conditions. Recent randomized controlled trials for TENS show significant reductions in postpartum pain [90]) and pain during wound-care procedures [91]. Interestingly, the mechanical triggers of wound-care procedures are similar to movement pain, supporting the effect of TENS for pain caused by mechanical stimulation, such as muscle movement, pressure, or force.…”

Summary Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a nonpharmacological intervention that activates a complex neuronal network to reduce pain by activating descending inhibitory systems in the central nervous system to reduce hyperalgesia. The evidence for TENS efficacy is conflicting and requires not only description but also critique. Population-specific systemic reviews and meta-analyses are emerging, indicating both HF and LF TENS being shown to provide analgesia, specifically when applied at a strong, nonpainful intensity. The purpose of this article is to provide a critical review of the latest basic science and clinical evidence for TENS. Additional research is necessary to determine if TENS has effects specific to mechanical stimuli and/or beyond reduction of pain and will improve activity levels, function and quality of life.

Existe associação entre os desconfortos no puerpério imediato e a via de parto? Um estudo observacional

et al. 2017

Introdução: A via de parto pode ser um fator determinante para o desenvolvimento de desconfortos no puerpério imediato. Objetivo: Identificar os desconfortos referidos pelas mulheres no puerpério imediato e compará-los entre as submetidas ao parto vaginal e à cesárea. Métodos: Estudo analítico transversal desenvolvido em uma maternidade pública com levantamento de prontuários que continham informações da avaliação fisioterapêutica de puérperas atendidas no período de fevereiro a novembro de 2011. Resultados: Foram incluídos 346 prontuários neste estudo. Queixas do puerpério imediato: dor abdominal (31,5%), edema (19,1%), lombalgia (18,2%), cervicalgia (9,8%) e desconforto em membros inferiores (5,8%). Cesárea foi a via de parto que acarretou maior desconforto, relacionando-se à presença de dor abdominal (p=0,001), cervicalgia (p=0,017) e edema (p=0,017). Conclusão: Os achados sugerem que as mulheres que passam por cesárea estão vulneráveis à maior morbidade durante o puerpério imediato em comparação ao parto vaginal.Palavras-chave: período pós-parto; saúde da mulher; fisioterapia. ABSTRACT Introduction:The type of delivery may be a determining factor for the development of discomfort in the immediate postpartum period. Objective: To identify the discomfort related by women in the immediate postpartum period and to compare them among those submitted to vaginal delivery and cesarean. Methods: Cross-sectional analytical study developed in a public maternity hospital with medical records that contained information of physical therapy evaluation of postpartum women attended from February to November 2011. Results: A total of 346 records were included in this study. Immediate postpartum complaints: abdominal pain (31.5%), edema (19.1%), low back pain (18.2%), neck pain (9.8%) and discomfort in the lower limbs (5.8%). Cesarean was the mode of delivery that caused greater discomfort related to the presence of abdominal pain (p=0.001), neck pain (p=0.017) and edema (p=0.017). Conclusion: The findings suggest that women who undergo cesarean are vulnerable to greater morbidity compared to vaginal delivery during the immediate postpartum period.
