ABSTRACT
RESUMEN El objetivo de este trabajo es investigar la experiencia de los fisioterapeutas formados en microeletrólisis percutánea sport y conocer la cantidad de aplicaciones realizadas semanalmente, los efectos adversos presentados y el nivel de satisfacción de los terapeutas con sus pacientes. Se realizó una encuesta que evaluó la opinión y la experiencia de profesionales certificados en microelectrolisis percutánea sport. Los datos fueron obtenidos a través de la plataforma virtual SurveyMonkey, enviando por correo electrónico una invitación a 1.096 fisioterapeutas de América Latina. Respondieron el cuestionario 315 profesionales, entre los cuales 165 (56,51%) atienden de uno a cinco pacientes por semana. Las respuestas sobre efectos adversos fueron: nunca he tenido complicaciones (56,79% - 159 respuestas); choque hipotensivo (19,64% - 55 respuestas.); alergia al metal (5,36% - 15 respuestas). Los sitios/patologías a que más se aplican la microelectrolisis percutánea sport son: tendón rotuliano (10,77% - 198 respuestas.); tendón de aquiles (9,58% - 176 respuestas); tendón supraespino (9,36% - 172 respuestas.); fascitis plantar/espolón calcáneo (8,05% - 148 respuestas.); y puntos-gatillo (7,18% - 132 respuestas.). La satisfacción de los profesionales fue: satisfecho (51,87% - 152 respuestas) y muy satisfecho (40,96% - 120 respuestas). Las respuestas de los pacientes fueron: satisfecho (61,90% - 182 respuestas) y muy satisfecho (29,93% - 88 respuestas). La técnica MEP se aplica principalmente en tendinopatías y produce resultados satisfactorios y muy satisfactorios tanto para los pacientes como para los terapeutas, con baja presencia de efectos adversos.
RESUMO O objetivo do trabalho é pesquisar sobre a experiência dos fisioterapeutas formados em MEP Sport, conhecer a quantidade de aplicações realizadas semanalmente, os efeitos adversos que tenham sido apresentados e o nível de satisfação dos terapeutas com seus pacientes. Realizou-se uma enquete de perguntas mistas que avaliam a opinião e experiência de profissionais certificados em MEP Sport. Os dados foram obtidos por meio da plataforma virtual SurveyMonkey, enviando por correio eletrônico um convite a 1.096 fisioterapeutas da América Latina. Responderam 315 profissionais, destes, 165 (56,51%) atendem de um a cinco pacientes por semana. As respostas sobre efeitos adversos foram: nunca tive complicações (56,79% - 159 respostas); choque hipotensivo (19,64% - 55 respostas.); alergia ao metal (5,36% - 15 respostas). Os locais/patologias em que mais se aplicam MEP são: T. rotuliano (10,77% - 198 respostas.); T. Aquiles (9,58% - 176 respostas.); T. supraespinhoso (9,36% - 172 respostas.); fascite plantar/esporão calcâneo (8,05% - 148 respostas.); e pontos gatilhos (7,18% - 132 respostas.). A satisfação dos profissionais foi: satisfeito (51,87%, 152 respostas.) e muito satisfeito (40,96%, 120 respostas). As respostas dos pacientes foram: satisfeito (61,90%, 182 respostas.) e muito satisfeito (29,93%, 88 respostas). A técnica MEP é aplicada principalmente em tendinopatías e produz resultados satisfatórios e muito satisfatórios tanto para os pacientes quanto para os terapeutas, com baixa presença de efeitos adversos.
ABSTRACT This work aims to recollect information about the experience of physical therapists trained in MEP Sport, to know how many treatments they did per week, the adverse effects that might have appeared and the patients and therapists' satisfaction. A mixed multiple choice survey with the option of choosing one or more alternatives to assess the opinion and experience of physical therapists trained in MEP Sport was carried out. SurveyMonkey was used for data collection. The invitations were sent by email to 1.096 physical therapists of Latin America. The survey was answered by 315 professionals, of whom 165 (56,51%) treat 1 to 5 patients per week. The answers about adverse effects were: I've never had adverse effects: 159 answers (56,79%), Hypotensive shock: 55 answers (19,64%), Allergy to metal 15 answers (5,36%). The most common areas/conditions where the MEP is applied are: Patellar tendon (10,77% - 198 answ.), Achilles tendon, (9,58% - 176 answ.), Supraspinatus tendon (9,36% - 172 answ.), Plantar fasciitis/Calcaneal spurs (8,05% - 148 answ.), Trigger points (7,18% - 132 answ.). The professionals' satisfaction was: Satisfied (51,87%, 152 answ.) and Very Satisfied (40,96%, 120 answ.). Patients' satisfaction was: Satisfied (61,90%, 182 answ.) and Very satisfied (29,93%, 88 answ.). MEP is applied mainly in tendinopathies and produces satisfactory and very satisfactory results, both for patients and professionals, with low incidence of adverse effects.

Sodium chloride intake was studied in male Holtzman rats weighing 250-300 g submitted to electrolytic and chemical lesion of the cell bodies, not fibers of the amygdaloid complex. Sodium chloride (1.5 percent) intake increased in animals with electrolytic lesion of the corticomedial nucleus of the amygdala. Sodium chloride (1.5 percent) intake increased after ibotenic acid injection into the corticomedial nucleus of the amygdala to a larger extent (26.6 + or - 9.2 to 147.6 + or - 34.6 ml/5 days). The results indicate that sodium inake response can be induced by lesions, which involved only cell bodies. The fibers of passage of the corticomedial nucleus of the amygdala produce a water intake less consistent than that induced by ibotenic acid, which is more acute. The results show that cell bodies of this region of the amygdala are involved in the control of sodium chloride intake
