Resumo

A dor muscular generalizada de alta intensidade é a principal queixa de pacientes com fibromialgia. A corrente interferencial é um tratamento frequentemente utilizado no alívio da dor, porém, seus efeitos nesses pacientes não estão claros ainda. Assim, esta revisão objetivou analisar os efeitos da corrente interferencial no tratamento de pacientes com fibromialgia em artigos científicos previamente publicados. As bases de dados Central, CINAHL, Lilacs, PEDro, Medline (PubMed), SciELO, Science Direct, Scopus e Web of Science foram pesquisadas em novembro de 2016. Somente ensaios clínicos controlados, sem restrições de idioma e período de publicação foram incluídos. A ferramenta da Colaboração Cochrane foi utilizada para avaliar o risco de viés dos artigos. Dessa forma, um total de 415 artigos foram encontrados e apenas quatro deles foram selecionados para análise. Três artigos foram excluídos por não serem ensaios clínicos controlados. Assim, apenas um artigo foi analisado para esta revisão. Neste estudo, a combinação do ultrassom com a corrente interferencial melhorou a dor e a qualidade do sono de pacientes com fibromialgia. No entanto, apresentou-se alto risco de viés e não foi possível verificar o efeito isolado da corrente interferencial nesses pacientes. Existe uma grande carência de estudos controlados, com distribuição aleatória, sobre o uso de corrente interferencial em pacientes com fibromialgia. Os resultados desta revisão evidenciam a importância do desenvolvimento de estudos futuros, com desenho metodológico adequado e terapia independente com corrente interferencial, a fim de melhorar a indicação da corrente para esses pacientes na prática clínica.
