Abstract(s)
Introdução: Espondilite anquilosante (EA) é uma doença reumática crónica sistémica, sendo
um protótipo de espondiloartropatias seronegativas caracterizada por inflamação, afetando
predominantemente a coluna vertebral, os métodos de tratamento recomendados são
fisioterapia supervisionada recorrendo-se ao tratamento convencional ou à prática de
hidroterapia. Objetivo: Determinar os efeitos da hidroterapia na dor e capacidade funcional,
nos pacientes com espondilite anquilosante (EA). Metodologia: Pesquisa computorizada nas
bases de dados PEDro, Science Direct, EBSCO e PubMed/Medline, para identificar os
estudos randomizados controlados que avaliaram os efeitos da hidroterapia na EA.
Resultados: Nesta revisão foram incluídos 5 estudos envolvendo 251 indivíduos, com
classificação 5,6 metodológica na escala de PEDro. Conclusões: A hidroterapia parece
influenciar positivamente no tratamento de pacientes com espondilite anquilosante
melhorando parâmetros como a dor e a capacidade funcional. No entanto estes efeitos
parecem perder-se com o tempo, e por isso as diferenças entre a hidroterapia e outro tipo de
tratamentos parecem esbater-se com o tempo.
Introduction: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic systemic rheumatic disease, being a prototype of seronegative spondyloarthropathies characterized by inflammation, affecting predominantly the vertebral column, the recommended treatment methods are supervised physiotherapy using the conventional exercices or the practice of hydrotherapy. Objective: To determine the effects of hydrotherapy on pain and functional capacity in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods: Computerized research in the databases PEDro, Science Direct, EBSCO and PubMed / Medline, to identify randomized controlled trials that evaluated the effects of hydrotherapy in AS. Results This review included 5 studies involving 251 individuals, with a methodological classification of 5.6 on the PEDro scale. Conclusions: Hydrotherapy has shown its effectiveness on pain, stiffness and mobility of the spine, which have a direct impact on patients' functional capacity.
