Lateralidade da dor pós eletroestimulação transcraniana por corrente continua em pacientes com fibromialgia
| Summary: | Introduction: Fibromyalgia is a chronic, diffuse and generalized painful disease, in addition to presenting associated symptoms. Transcranial direct currente stimulation (TDCS) is a non pharmacological therapeutic method that improves the painful condition of fibromyalgia through a modulation of the cerebral cortex applied in the M1 area. METHODS: A randomized controlled trial was carried out in 24 patients in two intervention groups: TDCS and TDCS SHAM, performed anthropometric and sociodemographic data, besides the application of questionnaires and the collection of the pain thresholds of Fibromyalgia with the algometer. Results: The TDCS improved the pain threshold in 3 points in the right hemisphere and 4 points in the left hemisphere. However, there was no difference in the analysis after the application of 5 days of TDCS when comparing the two hemodies. Clinically, pain improvement occurs equally in the 2 hemiforms in the active group. Conclusion: There was no statistical difference between the two hemiforms after the intervention in the left primary motor area (M1). |
