Objetivo: Verificar os efeitos imediatos da vacuoterapia dinâmica na mecanossensibilidade do nervo mediano, medida através do Teste Neurodinâmico ao Membro Superior 1 (ULNT1), em participantes saudáveis. Metodologia: Após preencher o questionário, 60 estudantes universitários saudáveis foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos designados de Grupo de Intervenção (GI; N=30) (aplicado vacuoterapia dinâmica) e Grupo de Controlo (GC; N=30). Numa primeira avaliação (M0), realizou-se o ULNT1, no membro superior dominante. A amplitude de extensão do cotovelo foi determinada em início dos sintomas e máximo ponto tolerado. Imediatamente após a intervenção/controlo, os dois grupos foram avaliados, de novo (M1). Resultados: Observou-se que não existem diferenças significativas entre o GI e o GC relativamente à amplitude de extensão do cotovelo no Início dos Sintomas e Máximo Ponto Tolerado do ULNT1. Conclusão: O presente estudo demonstrou que a vacuoterapia dinâmica não parece alterar a mecanossensibilidade do nervo mediano, através do ULNT1, em participantes saudáveis
Objective: To verify the immediate effects of dynamic cupping on the mechanosensitivity of the median nerve, measured by the upper limb neurodynamic test 1 (ULNT1) in healthy individuals. Methodology: After completing the questionnaire, 60 healthy university students were randomly divided into two groups designated Intervention Group (GI; N=30) (applied with dynamic cupping therapy) and Control Group (GC; N=30). In a first assessment (M0), ULNT1 was performed on the dominant upper limb. The elbow extension amplitude was determined in symptom onset and maximum tolerated point. Immediately after the intervention/control, the two groups were evaluated again (M1). Results: There are no significant differences between the GI and the GC regarding the amplitude of elbow extension at the onset of symptoms and maximum tolerated point of ULNT1. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that dynamic cupping does not seem to alter the mechanosensitivity of the median nerve, through ULNT1, in healthy individuals.
