“…This action provides a controlled and safe way to potentiate the transdermal absorption of a wide variety of ionizable drugs without causing significant discomfort. Thus, the action of many drugs, such as anti-inflammatories and analgesics that are administered to the outer layer of the skin, is potentiated as they penetrate in the deeper underlying tissue (4 –7).…”

“…Currently, there are some studies demonstrating the effects of the association between drugs and phonophoresis at different conditions of exposure to ultrasonic waves (e.g., intensity, frequency, duration, and continuity) (12). However, the effectiveness of this technique in improving the therapeutic effect of drugs remains to be better investigated (4).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of ultrasound (US)-mediated phonophoresis alone or in association with diclofenac diethylammonium (DCF) administered topically in animal models of inflammation. A pre-clinical, prospective, and randomized experimental study of quantitative and qualitative nature was carried out. Phonophoresis was performed using a therapeutic ultrasound apparatus in two distinct models of acute inflammation. Edema was induced by an intraplantar injection of carrageenan and measured by plethysmography. The Hargreaves test was used to evaluate the antinociceptive activity and investigate the action of phonophoresis on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α production. A histological analysis with hematoxylin-eosin was used to evaluate tissue repair, and the expression of COX-2 was determined by immunohistochemical analysis. At the peak of inflammatory activity (3 h), treatment with US, US+DCF, and DCF significantly reduced edema formation compared to the control group. Treatment with US+DCF was more effective than treatment with US alone at both analyzed times. In the analysis of the antinociceptive activity, the treatments significantly increased the latency time in response to the thermal stimulus. Histopathological analysis revealed a reduction of the inflammatory infiltrates and immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the association was effective in reducing COX-2 expression compared to the control group. The association of DCF with US produced anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects in rat models of inflammation, which may be associated with inhibition of COX-2 and TNF-α production.

Introduction: The Achilles tendinopathy with tendon injuries are the third most common in the musculoskeletal system. New therapies have been proposed for the treatment of tendinopathy as Percutaneous Microelectrólisis (MEP ®). Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of MEP ® on tendinopathy of Achilles. Method: This was a controlled clinical trial, randomized study. The sample comprised 20 patients with Achilles tendinopathy. The volunteers were randomly divided into two groups, control (G1) underwent conventional treatment protocol and experimental (G2) which was under the application of MEP. We made two visits per week for a month, totaling eight sessions. As evaluation method were used four questions from Visa-A questionnaire related to the functionality and exercise pratice. Data were analyzed using paired and independent T test. Results: The pain when walking down stairs has been observed a reduction in G1 (p <0.05) and G2 (p <0.001) before and after the protocols. Among the groups there was a greater reduction in G2 (p <0.001). Pain after heating was observed a reduction in G2 (p <0.001). Among them there was a greater reduction (p <0.05) in G2. For pain was observed after walking a reduction in G1 (p <0.05) and G2 (p <0.001) before and after the protocols. Among them there was a reduction (p <0.05) higher in G2. In pain after exercise was observed a reduction in G2 (p <0.001). Among the groups there was a greater decrease in G2 (p <0.05). Conclusion: We conclude that the MEP ® helps reduce pain in functional activities.

Novas alternativas terapêuticas têm sido propostas para o tratamento de tendinopatia como a Microelectrólisis Percutânea (MEP®). Objetivos:O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da MEP® nas tendinopatias de calcâneo. Método: Trata-se de um ensaio clínico controlado, randomizado. A amostra foi composta por 20 pacientes que apresentavam tendinopatia de Aquiles. Os voluntários foram separados aleatoriamente em dois grupos, o controle (G1) submetido ao protocolo de tratamento convencional e o experimental (G2) à aplicação da MEP. Foram realizados dois atendimentos por semana durante um mês, totalizando oito atendimentos. Como método de avaliação foi utilizado 4 perguntas do questionário Visa-A relacionadas à funcionalidade e a prática de exercício. Os dados foram analisados através do teste t pareado e independente. Resultados: Na dor ao descer escadas foi observado uma redução no G1 (p<0,05) e G2 (p<0,001) antes e depois dos protocolos. Entre os grupos verificou-se uma redução maior no G2(p<0,001). Na dor após o aquecimento foi observado uma redução no G2 (p<0,001). Entre eles observou-se uma redução maior (p<0,05) no G2. Para a dor após caminhada foi verificada uma redução nos G1 (p<0,05) e G2 (p<0,001) antes...
