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.

Objective: To systematize the evidence on interventions using alternative and complementary medicine compared to placebos for the reduction of gastrointestinal symptoms in adult outpatients visiting health centers. Methodology: Systematic review. Out of 879 articles, a sample of 10 articles was selected. Databases used include PubMed, Cochrane, Wiley, and Epistemonikos. The study design consisted of 30% systematic review, 10% meta-analysis-systematic review, 10% randomized controlled trial, 20% cohort, 20% literature review, and 10% descriptive correlational study. Based on the quality of the evidence, 50% was rated as high, and based on the strength of recommendation, 50% was considered strong. The countries of origin of the studies were Italy (20%), Germany (20%), Canada (20%), China (10%), United Kingdom (10%), Sweden (10%), and Norway (10%). Results: 80% of the studies indicated that alternative and complementary medicine interventions, including herbs, massages, and meditation, were effective in comparison to placebos for reducing gastrointestinal symptoms in adult outpatients. 20% showed discrepancies due to limited information in the studies. Conclusion: It was concluded that 8 out of 10 authors reported that interventions with herbs, massages, and meditation, compared to placebos, were effective in reducing gastrointestinal symptoms in adult outpatients visiting health centers.
