Abstract(s)
Objetivo: avaliar a dor dos trigger points latentes do trapézio superior em indivíduos submetidos a ultrassom (US) com aloé vera ou com gel comum. Metodologia: 24 indivíduos, com uma média de idades 23,44 anos, foram distribuídos de forma aleatória em dois grupos e que devido a 8 desistências, 7 ficaram no grupo US com gel comum (grupo 1) e 9 no grupo US com gel de aloé vera (grupo 2). Os US’s foram aplicados bilateralmente nos trigger points latentes do trapézio superior, durante 10 sessões, em 2 semanas. Foi avaliada a intensidade álgica, através da escala numérica da dor (END) e o limiar de dor através do algómetro, antes da 1ª sessão, depois da 5ª e depois da 10ª. Resultados: O grupo 1 teve diminuição significativa da dor, em ambos os trapézios, com a END, entre todos os momentos de avaliação mas apenas aumento significativo no limiar de dor no trapézio direito entre a 1ª e última avaliação. O grupo 2, quer na END quer no limiar teve melhorias significativas a partir da 5ª sessão em ambos os trapézios. No entanto, em nenhum momento, houve diferenças entre grupos. Conclusão: As duas técnicas testadas apresentaram-se eficazes na diminuição da perceção de intensidade da dor e o aloé vera contribuiu mais para o aumento de tolerância ao limiar de dor em ambos os lados do trapézio superior.
Purpose: To evaluate the pain of the latent trigger points of the upper trapezius, on individuals submitted with an ultrasound (US) treatment with aloe vera or with common gel. Methods: 24 individuals, with an average of ages of 23,44 years, where randomly assigned into two groups, but due to 8 withdrawals, 7 stayed in the group using the common gel (group 1) and 9 in the group US using aloe vera (group 2),. US’s were applied bilaterally on the latent trigger points of the upper trapezius, throughout 10 sessions, in the space of 2 weeks. The pain intensity was evaluated, using a numeric pain scale (NPS) and the pain threshold using a pressure algometer before the first session and after the 5th and the 10th session. Results: Group 1 had a significant diminish of pain, of both trapezius, with NPS, but a higher pain threshold of the right trapezius between the first and last evaluation. In group 2, only from the 5th session that significant enhancements where observed with NPS and by the threshold, on both trapezius. However, at no point there were differences between groups. Conclusion: The two techniques that we tested were effective for diminishing the perception of the pain intensiveness, and aloe vera contributed for a higher tolerance of the pain threshold on both sides of the upper trapezius.
