“…Uma forma de minimizar essa ocorrência é ajustar frequentemente a amplitude da corrente. 14 Raimundo et al, 15 ao avaliar o nível de serotonina sistêmica após a aplicação de corrente TENS de baixa (4 Hz) e alta frequência (100 Hz), obtiveram que frequências mais altas demonstraram maior liberação de serotonina em relação às mais baixas, e sendo esta uma substância relacionada ao bem-estar, infere-se que frequências mais altas seriam mais agradáveis. Em razão disto, o mesmo estudo cita ainda que nas correntes de baixa frequência, a sensação de abalos musculares pode ter inibido a liberação de serotonina, o que não ocorreu nas altas frequências, pelo fato de atuarem apenas em nível sensorial, justificando assim os resultados obtidos.…”

“…The 4 electroanalgesia and placebo sessions occurred at 10 am in the morning and at 4 pm in the afternoon for 2 consecutive days. Four Asktus electrodes (elastic hydrogel adhesive; 5 × 5 cm) were positioned 3 centimetres from the surgical incision based on the recommendations by Ferreira and Beleza [ 17 ]. Electroanalgesia was performed with the participants seated in an armchair and only after their vital signs had been stable for 10 minutes.…”

Background. Changes in lifestyle, a carbohydrate-rich diet, and decreased physical activity are part of the context that led to an obesity pandemic. Treating obesity is a task that requires multidisciplinary care; however, in many cases, conventional therapy has no effect, requiring surgical intervention. This, in turn, is not without risks and causes important changes in lung function. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of electroanalgesia through conventional transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on the pain and lung function in the postoperative period of bariatric surgery. Methods. This is a controlled and blinded clinical trial with 66 subjects who underwent bariatric surgery. The participants were randomized into 2 groups as follows: an intervention group treated with TENS ( n = 33 ) and a placebo group ( n = 33 ). The participants underwent 4 TENS sessions, and the effect on pain was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS pain). Lung function was measured by spirometry. Results. There were no differences between the 2 groups regarding time of surgery and time of mechanical ventilation. Compared to placebo, TENS reduced pain in the intervention group ( p = 0.001 ). Regarding the effect of electroanalgesia on pulmonary function, the spirometric parameters were similar between the groups. However, regarding muscle strength between the preoperative and postoperative periods, maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) was maintained in the intervention group and decreased in the placebo group ( p = 0.03 ). Compared with that in the intervention group, the respiratory rate in the placebo group increased during the application of TENS ( p = 0.003 ). Conclusion. Electroanalgesia reduces pain in patients who underwent bariatric surgery. Importantly, in these patients, the MIP is maintained between the preoperative and postoperative periods. However, electroanalgesia does not contribute to improvements in spirometric data. This trial is registered with NCT04800640.

“…(10) The effectiveness of TENS pain relief has been researched and really supported by many studies, (11,13) although the number of studies proving its effectiveness in relieving pain during labor is still small. (14) On the other hand, articles relating cryotherapy to labor are scarce.…”

Background:The delivery pain is an unpleasant experience which may generate some insecurity for the woman. Thus, some methods of analgesia need to be studied in order to generate greater comfort for the woman during labor. Objective: to evaluate the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and cryotherapy (CRYO) on labor pain. Method/Design: quasi experimental study, randomized sample in two groups: TENS and CRYO. Pregnant women were selected in the Carmela Dutra Maternity (Florianópolis (SC), Brazil) according to inclusion criteria: women which are pregnant for the first time, age (18-40 years) and initial cervical dilatation of 4-5cm. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate pain before and after each intervention. Results: 24 parturient women were studied (TENS = 11, CRYO = 13). In the TENS group, there was a significant result in pain relief after the first application (p = 0.002). VAS was reduced from 8 to 5.5, but not significant. In the CRYO group there was reduction of pain during the first application (p = 0.008), and in the second there was an increase in pain (p = 0.008). There was a significant difference between the techniques in the evaluation performed before the second application, with a lower value attributed to the CRYO group (p = 0.034). Conclusions: CRYO and TENS were effective in relieving pain during the first phase of the initial phase of labor. However, during the treatment, in the parturient women studied, there was maintenance of pain response by the CRYO group and decrease in the TENS group without reduction significant.
