Abstract(s)
Objetivo: Verificar qual dos métodos aplicados a Estimulação Elétrica Neural Transcutânea (TENS) ou Libertação Miofascial (LM) tem eficácia, na incapacidade funcional e redução da dor lombar. Metodologia: É um estudo quasi-experimental randomizado, com 28 elementos de ambos os sexos, com uma média de idades de 21,86 ± 1,56 anos, divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos: Grupo TENS (n=14) que realiza tratamento com TENS, em modo acupuntura, com uma frequência de 20Hz e largura de pulso de 100pps, durante 30 minutos e grupo LM (n=14) em que consistiu no contorno de diversas regiões da zona lombar, fazendo duas passagens em cada região, cada uma durante 3 minutos. Ambos os grupos foram submetidos a duas sessões por semana por 4 semanas. Resultados: Após a aplicação do protocolo verificou-se que tanto no grupo TENS como no grupo LM houve uma redução da dor e uma melhoria na incapacidade funcional, mas, comparando os grupos, não houve diferenças significativas. Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem que ambas as técnicas aparentam ser uma boa solução para a redução da dor e melhoria da incapacidade funcional em indivíduos com dor lombar.
Objective: Evaluate the effect of Trancutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) or Miofascial release (MR) in functional incapacity and reduction of lumbar pain. Methodology: It is a randomized quasi-experimental study, with 28 elements of both genders, with an age average of 21,86 ± 1,56 years old. They were randomly assigned into two groups: group TENS (n=14) which performs TENS treatment in acupuncture mode, with a frequency of 20Hz and pulse width of 100pps, during 30 minutes and a group MR (n = 14) where consisted the contour of several regions of the lumbar region, each one during 3 minutes. The intervention was applied two times per week, during 4 weeks. Results: After the application of the protocol, it was verified that in both groups there was a reduction of pain and an improvement of functional incapacity, however, when there were no statistical difference between groups. Conclusion: The results suggest that both techniques seems to be a good solution to reduce pain and increase functional disability in individuals with low back pain.
