Introduction: The cellulites is defined as a multifactorial disease that results in the degeneration of adipose tissue, through the stages of change of interstitial matrix, micro circulatory stasis and adipocyte hypertrophy. Objective: The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of Combined Therapy of Ultrasound and Electrotherapy (CTUE) in cellulites in women through the infrared sensor (Celluscan ). Methods: This research is a controlled, randomized and blinded trial, consisting of 28 females, divided into 2 groups of 14 individuals with cellulites in grade II, III and IV, chosen randomly in the city of Natal/RN. Results: In the control and the treatment group, comparing between them the form and degree of the cellulites in accordance with Celluscan , showed no significant difference. Conclusion: Considering the results obtained in this study it was not possible to prove the effectiveness of CTUE, taking into account that the cellulites is a multifactorial disease, because in this case there are several factors involved, such as the triggering, the predisposing and the aggravating factors that can influence the results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
