ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: Se denomina trastorno temporomandibular al conjunto de condiciones musculoesqueléticas que afectan la articulación temporomandibular, los músculos de la masticación y las estructuras anatómicas adyacentes. Objetivo: Evaluar la efectividad de las terapias físicas en pacientes con trastornos de la articulación temporomandibular. Métodos: Se efectuó una intervención terapéutica en la Clínica Estomatológica Provincial Docente Mártires del Moncada de Santiago de Cuba, desde junio de 2016 hasta febrero de 2020. La muestra quedó conformada por 264 pacientes distribuidos en 4 grupos con 66 integrantes cada uno, a quienes se les aplicaron diferentes terapias físicas, tales como ultrasonido, laserterapia, magnetoterapia y técnica de estimulación eléctrica transcutánea, respectivamente. Se analizaron las siguientes variables: edad, grado de trastorno de la articulación temporomandibular y efectividad terapéutica. Se empleó el porcentaje como medida de resumen y el estadígrafo de Ji al cuadrado con un nivel de significación de 0,05. Resultados: Predominó el sexo femenino en todas las terapias aplicadas con más de 75,0 % y el grupo etario de 40 - 49 años. Al finalizar el tratamiento se observó que en los grupos donde se empleó ultrasonido, láser y magneto, la respuesta fue efectiva en más de 90,0 % de los pacientes, con primacía del primero (96,6 %); sin embargo, en el grupo donde se utilizó la técnica de estimulación eléctrica transcutánea solo se logró en 89,4 % de los afectados. Conclusiones: La ultrasonoterapia fue más efectiva en pacientes con trastornos de la articulación temporomandibular.


ABSTRACT Introduction: A temporomandibular disorder is a group of musculoskeletal conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint, the mastication muscles and the adjacent anatomical structures. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the physical therapies in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders. Methods: A therapeutic intervention was carried out in Mártires del Moncada Teaching Provincial Stomatological Clinic from Santiago de Cuba, from June, 2016 to February, 2020. The sample was formed by 264 patients distributed in 4 groups with 66 members each one, to whom different physical therapies were applied, such as ultrasound, laser therapy, magnetotherapy and technique of transcutaneous electric stimulation, respectively. The following variables were analyzed: age, grade of dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint and therapeutic effectiveness. The percentage as summary measure and the chi-squared test were used with a significance level of 0.05. Results: There was a prevalence of the female sex in all the therapies applied with more than 75.0 % and the 40 - 49 age group. When concluding the treatment it was observed that in the groups where ultrasound, laser and magneto was used, the response was effective in more than 90.0 % of the patients, with primacy of the first one (96.6 %); however, in the group where the technique of transcutaneous electric stimulation was used it was just achieved in 89.4 % of the affected patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of plum blossom acupuncture plus focused ultrasound therapy for neurodermatitis. Method Sixty neurodermatitis patients were randomized to a treatment group (30 cases) and a control group (30 cases). The treatment group received plum blossom acupuncture plus focused ultrasound therapy and the control group, conventional treatment with halometasone cream. The clinical therapeutic effects were evaluated. Result The total skin lesion score had no statistically significant post-treatment difference between the two groups of patients (P>0.05) and had a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference within the groups (P<0.01). The total efficacy rate was 96.7% in the treatment group and 86.7% in the control group. At three and six months after treatment the recurrence rate was lower in the treatment group than in the control group and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion Plum blossom acupuncture plus ultrasound has a marked therapeutic effect on neurodermatitis. It is a simple and ideal therapeutic method.

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, comparativo y prospectivo de 132 pacientes con disfunción de la articulación temporomandibular clasificados según el grado de severidad, los cuales asistieron a la consulta especializada de la Clínica Estomatológica Provincial Docente de Santiago de Cuba desde marzo del 2009 hasta septiembre del 2010, a fin de determinar los beneficios obtenidos con la terapia ultrasónica en los enfermos. En la serie, los más afectados fueron: el sexo femenino, el grupo etario de 40-49 años y el grado de severidad con menor cuantía fue el severo, en tanto las disfunciones leves y moderadas tuvieron proporciones similares. Al aplicar las terapias ultrasónica y convencional, el grupo que recibió tratamiento con la primera fue el que evolucionó satisfactoriamente.
