Resumen
[ES] Objetivo: el objetivo de esta revisión sistemática es analizar la evidencia científica actualmente disponible sobre la aplicación de corriente galvánica (CC) a través de agujas de acupuntura, utilizando la técnica Electrólisis Percutánea Intratisular (EPI), en afecciones comunes del tendón, las tendinopatías.
Métodos: Se ha realizado un análisis sistemático de la literatura científica presente en las bases de datos “Pubmed”, “PEDro” y “Scopus” durante los meses de Enero-Febrero de 2017 (ambos incluidos) utilizando como descriptores: “Intrasissue Percutaneus Electrolysis”, “Intratissue Percuteneus Electrolysis AND tendinopathy”, “Galvanic current AND tendinopathy”, “Effectiveness AND Galvanic current AND tendinopathy” y “Ultrasound-guided Percutaneus Electrolysis”. Se incluyeron estudios que no fueran meta-análisis, estudios piloto o revisiones sistemáticas.
Resultados: se obtuvieron un total de 24 artículos, de los cuales 18 fueron descartados de la revisión por no cumplir con los criterios de inclusión/exclusión establecidos. De estos 18, 9 estaban duplicados y otros 9 no se centraban en la tendinopatía como patología de análisis. Fueron identificados claramente 6 artículos para el análisis, tras leer detenidamente el título, resumen y texto completo.
Conclusiones: Todos los estudios incluidos en la revisión y analizados constatan una cierta mejora en la evolución de la tendinopatía en lo que se refiere a dolor, función y vuelta a la actividad física utilizando la Electrolisis Percutánea Intratisular junto con ejercicios excéntricos. Aunque la diversidad de los estudios y las diferencias poco significativas no demuestran con certeza la efectividad de la aplicación de la técnica sobre el tendón afecto. Asimismo, los artículos deducen claramente la necesidad de realizar estudios futuros más exhaustivos para evidenciar la utilidad de dicha terapia.
[EN] Objective: The purpose of this systematic review is to analyze the scientific evidence currently available on the application of galvanic current (CC) through acupuncture needles, using the Intrasissue Percutaneous Electrolysis (EPI) technique, in common tendon diseases, tendinopathies Methods: it´s has been realized a systematic analysis of the scientific literature present in the databases Pubmed, Pedro and Scopus during the months of January-February 2016 (both included) using as descriptors: "Intrasissue Percutaneus Electrolysis" "Intratissue Percuteneus Electrolysis AND Tendinopathy", "Galvanic current AND tendinopathy", "Effectiveness AND Galvanic current AND Tendinopathy" and "Ultrasound-guided Percutaneus Electrolysis". We included studies that weren´t meta-analyzes, pilot studies or systematic reviews. Results: a total of 24 articles were obtained, of which 18 were discarded from the review because they didn´t meet the established inclusion / exclusion criteria. Of these 18, 9 were duplicates and another 9 didn´t focus on tendinopathy as pathology analysis. Six articles were clearly identified for the analysis, after carefully reading the title, abstract and full text. Conclusions: all studies included in the review and analyzed show a certain improvement in the evolution of tendinopathy in terms of pain, function and return to physical activity using Intra-Scalar Percutaneous Electrolysis along with eccentric exercises. Although the diversity of the studies and the little significant differences do not demonstrate with certainty the effectiveness of the application of the technique on the affected tendon. Also, the articles clearly deduce the need for more exhaustive future studies to demonstrate the usefulness of such therapy.
