Abstract
Resumen: La dismenorrea es uno de los primeros síntomas ginecológicos más comunes que llega a presentarse en la mujer después de la menarca, entre los 12 a 13 años en promedio y ocurre en cada ciclo menstrual; esta investigacion tiene como principal objetivo determinar la eficacia del uso de la estimulación eléctrica transcutánea (por sus siglas en ingles transcutaneous electrical neuro stimulation, TENS) en el tratamiento de la dismenorrea primaria en mujeres; identificando la dosificación correcta para su uso en pacientes con dolores pre menstruales o que estén en etapa menstrual dolorosa, sin que exista alguna patología o lesión ginecológica. Se valoraron 15 pacientes del sexo femenino durante el segundo semestre del 2023, donde se realizaron encuestas, para determinar si las pacientes presentaban la sintomatología que caracteriza a la dismenorrea primaria, haciendo uso de la ficha kinésica funcional, en la cual se identificó, el grado de dolor, afectación en la zona de dolor; el universo de estudio abarcó a mujeres de 19 a 29 años. Se obtuvieron cambios significativos en cuanto al dolor y cantidad de flujo menstrual, después de la aplicación de TENS determinando la disminución del dolor con un grado de significancia p <0,05. La distribución de flujo menstrual corrobora, que 2 pacientes tuvieron aumento de flujo, 7 pacientes disminuyeron el flujo y 6 pacientes tuvieron el flujo normal. Finalmente se determinó que la aplicación de la aplicación de TENS de alta frecuencia funcionó positivamente como tratamiento en la dismenorrea primaria, disminuyendo el dolor en un 70 %.
Abstract: Dysmenorrhea is one of the first most common gynecological symptoms that occurs in women after menarche, between the ages of 12 and 13 on average and occurs in each menstrual cycle; the main objective of this research is to determine the effectiveness of the use of transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea in women; identifying the correct dosage for use in patients with premenstrual pain or who are in a painful menstrual stage, without any gynecological pathology or injury. 15 female patients were evaluated during the second half of 2023, where surveys were carried out, to determine if the patients presented the symptoms that characterize primary dysmenorrhea, using the functional kinesic sheet, in which the degree was identified. pain, involvement in the pain area; the study universe included women between 19 and 29 years old. Significant changes were obtained in terms of pain and amount of menstrual flow, after the application of TENS, determining the decrease in pain with a degree of significance p <0,05. The distribution of menstrual flow corroborates those 2 patients had increased flow, 7 patients decreased flow and 6 patients had normal flow. Finally, it was determined that the application of high-frequency TENS worked positively as a treatment in primary dysmenorrhea, reducing pain by 70 %.
