dc.description.abstract | Monopolar capacitive diathermy is a physiotherapy technique that uses high-frequency currents
to generate heat in deep tissues. This heat can have several therapeutic efects, especially in the
treatment of chronic low back pain (CLBP), however, until now there is little evidence of this type of
diathermy. The purpose was to evaluate the efcacy of a pulsed monopolar dielectric radiofrequency
diathermy (PRF)-capacitive type versus simulated treatment on symptomatology of patients with
CLBP. A single-blind randomised controlled trial was conducted. Sixty patients with CLBP were
randomly assigned to a PRF-capacitive or a simulated treatment group. All participants received
3 sessions per week for 3 weeks. Disability, pain intensity, movement phobia, lumbar antefexion,
quality of life, and sleep quality were assessed at baseline, after treatment, and at two months.
The application of 9 sessions of PRF-capacitive showed signifcant improvements compared to
simulated therapy during the entire follow-up for disability (F= 26.99, p < 0.001), pain intensity
(F = 0.550, p < 0.001), the quality of life components of physical function (F = 0.780, p < 0.001), social
function (F = 0.780, p < 0.001) and mental health (F = 0.858, p = 0.003) and for sleep duration (F = 0.863,
p = 0.004). | es |
