Efeitos da Estimulação Elétrica Nervosa Transcutânea e da Corrente de Alta Voltagem em Indivíduos Saudáveis

Abstract: RESUMO: O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar a estimulação elétrica nervosa transcutânea (TENS) e a corrente de alta voltagem (AV ) em indivíduos saudáveis. Para concretizar tal análise, 20 voluntários realizaram as duas modalidades de eletroestimulação de forma cruzada. A nocicepção foi avaliada por meio de estímulos pressóricos e térmicos no membro superior esquerdo, foi aplicada aeletroanalgesia por 20 minutos, sobre a articulação do cotovelo. Os parâmetros da TENS foram: duração de fase de 200 μs e frequ… Show more

“…A previous study pointed out that there are differences in the pain threshold between men and women, mainly regarding pressure pain, which is the most sensitive to the differences of gender 23 . This corroborates the results of previous studies using TENS in the conventional mode (100Hz, 250μs) and the high voltage polarized current (100Hz, 50μs) and TENS therapy in different frequency configurations, both in the elbow area that did not obtain significant values in the evaluation of pressure pain after the treatment with analgesic currents 15,24 . However, a comparative study between TENS therapy (100Hz, 40μs) and its association with cryotherapy (20 minutes) was effective in increasing the pressure pain threshold in the forearm area in healthy individuals.…”

“…Quando avaliada a hiperalgesia não foi possível notar diferenças significativas, tanto na indução ao frio, quanto à pressão. A algometria é um método objetivo de alta confiabilidade e a indução pelo frio é um teste com resultados que variam de confiável a excelente (PELEGRINI;VENANCIO;LIEBANO, 2012;ZEGALO et al, 2016…”
