RESUMO
A Chikungunya é uma afecção que tem atingido milhares de brasileiros, com números alarmantes de casos graves e incapacitantes em todo território nacional. É transmitida pelo mosquito Aedes Aegypti e causa febre de início agudo, dores articulares e musculares. A persistência dos sintomas de dor articular contínua e incapacitante tem sido considerada uma forte preocupação para a saúde pública, em virtude do comprometimento funcional e laboral que tem causado a população. Ainda não existe um tratamento específico para os casos de dor crônica causada pela Chikungunya e os mecanismos responsáveis pela cronificação das dores podem estar envolvidos com mecanismos centrais de controle da dor. Técnicas de neuromodulação poderiam atuar sobre esses efeitos e dentre elas existe a Estimulação Transcraniana por Corrente Continua (ETCC), que é uma técnica de aplicação de correntes de baixa intensidade sobre o escalpo com o intuito de modular a excitabilidade de áreas corticais envolvidas no processamento da dor crônica e tem se mostrado eficiente no tratamento desses casos. O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar o efeito da ETCC sobre as dores crônicas e capacidade funcional em mulheres acometidas por Chikungunya. Realizouse um estudo do tipo ensaio clínico randomizado, composto por mulheres com idade entre 28 e 70 anos, divididas em dois grupos experimental (ETCC) e placebo (SHAM). Foram avaliadas as características sociodemográficas e clínicas dos participantes, bem como o nível de capacidade funcional e sintomatologia dolorosa antes e após serem submetidos a seis sessões de ETCC em dias não consecutivos. Participaram do estudo 59 mulheres, com média de idade de 52,85 ±10,76 anos e o tempo de acometimento da doença apresentou uma média de 21,54 ±3,53 meses. Pode-se concluir com esse estudo que a ETCC foi efetiva para a redução das dores crônicas provenientes de indivíduos acometidos por Chikungunya (p< 0,007) a curto prazo, porém não foi capaz de alterar a capacidade funcional e interferência das dores no seu dia-a-dia. Sugere-se que outros estudos dessa natureza possam contemplar um tempo maior de acompanhamento do comportamento das dores crônicas nesse público e associar a ETCC a outros recursos terapêuticos para observar seus efeitos isolados e combinados (AU).
ABSTRACT
Chikungunya is a condition that has reached thousands of Brazilians, with alarming numbers of serious and incapacitating cases throughout the country. It is transmitted by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito and causes acute onset fever, joint and muscle pain. The persistence of symptoms of continuous and disabling joint pain has been considered a strong concern for public health, due to the functional and labor compromise that has caused the population. There is still no specific treatment for cases of chronic pain caused by Chikungunya and the mechanisms responsible for chronic pain can be involved with central mechanisms of pain control. Neuromodulation techniques could act on these effects and among them there is Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (TDCS), which is a technique of applying currents of low intensity on the scalp in order to modulate the excitability of cortical areas involved in the processing of chronic pain and has been shown to be efficient in the treatment of these cases. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of TDCS on chronic pain and functional capacity in women affected by Chikungunya. A randomized clinical trial, consisting of women aged 28 to 70 years, divided into two experimental groups (GTDCS) and placebo (GSHAM) was performed. The sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the participants were evaluated, as well as the level of functional capacity and pain symptomatology before and after being submitted to six sessions of TDCS on non-consecutive days. A total of 59 women participated in the study, with a mean age of 52.85 ± 10.76 years and the time of disease involvement presented a mean of 21.54 ± 3.53 months. It can be concluded from this study that the ETCC was effective for the reduction of chronic pain from individuals affected by Chikungunya (p <0.007) in the short term, but it was not able to change the functional capacity and interference of the pains in their day- to-day. It is suggested that other studies of this nature may contemplate a greater time of monitoring the behavior of chronic pain in this public and associate CTEF with other therapeutic resources to observe its isolated and combined effects (AU).
