ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio de intervención terapéutica con 32 pacientes seleccionados aleatoriamente de 36 que asistieron a consultas de ortopedia y traumatología en el Hospital Provincial Docente Clinicoquirúrgico "Saturnino Lora Torres" de Santiago de Cuba desde octubre de 2010 hasta junio de 2011 por presentar epicondilitis humeral, a fin de evaluar la efectividad de la terapia acupuntural en ellos. Se asignaron números pares para el grupo control e impares para el de estudio. La evaluación final de los pacientes tratados permitió afirmar que estos respondieron mejor al tratamiento acupuntural (en 14 de 16, para 88,0 %) y que aunque se presentaron algunas complicaciones, su eficacia supera con creces los procedimientos occidentales para alivio del dolor.


A therapeutical intervention study was carried out on 32 patients randomly selected of 36 who attended the orthopedics and traumatology departments in "Saturnino Lora Torres" Teaching Clinical Surgical Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba from October, 2010 to June, 2011 for presenting humeral epicondylitis, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the acupunture therapy in them. Pair numbers were assigned for the control group and odd numbers for the study. The final evaluation of patients treated allowed to affirm that they responded better to the acupuntural treatment (in 14 of 16, for 88.0%) and that although some complications were presented, their effectiveness overcomes the western procedures for the relief of pain.
