Effectiveness of Transcutaneous Electrical Neurostimulation (TENS) in the Treatment of Primary Dysmenorrhea
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-10-18) Estela Vargas, Sonia Melissa; Guerrero Sayago, Maribel; Bravo Cucci, Sergio David
The objective was to determine the effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in women with primary dysmenorrhea. The risk of selection in the individual studies was assessed using the PEDro scale and a thematic validity instrument. A search was conducted in the PubMed, EBSCOhost, and SciELO databases. Controlled clinical trials and systematic reviews of female patients with primary dysmenorrhea were included. The various treatment modalities generated changes in the symptoms of dysmenorrhea. This systematic review will determine the effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) compared to other treatment methods in patients with primary dysmenorrhea. Based on the results of this research, TENS will be proposed as a treatment method, as it has been shown to be effective, demonstrated by the improvement in the quality of life of these patients, such as reduced absenteeism from work and school.

Systematic Review on the Effectiveness of Pelvic Floor Exercises in Pregnant Women in the 2nd and 3rd Trimesters with Urinary Incontinence
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Torres Lozada, Pamela Lesli; Ferrer Yauri, Melissa Yanirett; Bravo Cucci, Sergio David
Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercises in pregnant women in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters with urinary incontinence through a systematic review. Methodology: A systematic search of articles was conducted in databases such as PUBMED, PEDro, Ebsco, Scielo, and Google Scholar, considering articles that mentioned pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) as a treatment for urinary incontinence in pregnant women. Out of 83 articles reviewed, only 7 studies met the inclusion criteria, and they were randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Results: Out of the 7 reviewed articles, 5 studies showed significant effectiveness in treating urinary incontinence in pregnant women, while 2 studies showed no significant results. The studies had an acceptable methodological quality. Conclusion: The information provided in this study is useful for treating urinary incontinence in pregnant women, reducing urine leakage and its impact on the quality of life, and offering clinical decision-making support when addressing these patients.

Systematic Review: "Effectiveness of Home-Based Physical Exercise Interventions in People Aged 50 to 75 Years with Alzheimer’s, Cerebrovascular Disorder, and Parkinson’s"
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Barrientos Benavides, María del Carmen; Yangali Tarazona, Victoria Jazmin; Bravo Cucci, Sergio David
Objective: To verify the effectiveness of home-based physical exercise interventions for individuals aged 50 to 75 with Alzheimer’s disease, cerebrovascular disorder, and Parkinson’s disease. Materials and Method: A systematic search was performed in the Pubmed, EBSCOhost, and SciELO databases. The selection bias in individual studies was assessed, and methodological quality was analyzed according to the PEDro scale. Studies included: Ten controlled clinical trials were included, involving individuals with neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s, cerebrovascular disorder, and Parkinson’s disease) who received care from multidisciplinary teams, with interventions using home-based physical exercise. One article compared elderly patients with hip fractures and cerebrovascular disorders. Results: Home-based physical exercise is effective for Alzheimer's disease, cerebrovascular disorder, and Parkinson’s disease. The quality of the studies varied from 2-7/10 on the PEDro scale. Conclusions: Home-based rehabilitation with physical exercise interventions shows effectiveness in maintaining physical and mental activity in Alzheimer's patients. For cerebrovascular disorders, there is more evidence supporting the effectiveness of home exercise, with favorable motor outcomes. For Parkinson’s disease, home exercise interventions have shown improvements in motor function and quality of life, especially using tools like the Microsoft Kinect.
