Thermographic evaluation after dry needling therapy in patients with inspecific lombalgy
Abstract
Introduction and objective: Low back pain is characterized by a musculoskeletal injury, which can be classified as specific and nonspecific low back pain. In the world about 50-80% of the world population will suffer from low back pain at some stage in their life. A quarter of absences from work or disability are caused by low back pain, which shows its importance not only in health. DN is an invasive treatment method that aims to apply a needle, causing neurophysiological effects that decrease pain. The objective is verify the effectiveness of NP in patients with nonspecific low back pain, assessed using thermography. Materials and methods: two patients who had nonspecific low back pain for at least three months participated. The procedures were performed in three days, they were evaluated with EVA, the questionnaire start back and the thermographic camera, then they went through two sessions with dry and the last session with the reevaluation. Discussions: In the study by Kalichman and Vulfsons (2010), DN is recommended because it is a cheap, low-risk and minimally invasive treatment that takes effect from the first session. However, Furlan and collaborators (2005) analyzed thirty-five articles on NP, and observed that alone does not cause long-term effects and must be associated with other therapies. Results e Conclusion: Improvement of 100% was seen, improvement in functional and psychosocial aspects. it was concluded that NP is effective for the treatment of nonspecific low back pain, improving pain and psychosocial aspects.
