El dolor muscular generalizado de alta intensidad es la principal reclamación de pacientes con fibromialgia. Un tratamiento frecuentemente empleado para aliviar este dolor es la corriente interferencial, pero sus efectos todavía no son conocidos. Teniendo en consideración este hecho, el propósito de esta investigación es comprobar los efectos de la corriente interferencial en el tratamiento de los pacientes con fibromialgia publicados en los artículos de investigación. Se buscaron estos trabajos en las bases de datos Central, CINAHL, Lilacs, PEDro, Medline (PubMed), SciELO, Science Direct, Scopus y Web of Science en noviembre de 2016. Se incluyeron solamente ensayos controlados, sin restricción de idiomas o periodos de publicación. Se utilizó la herramienta Colaboración Cochrane para evaluar el riesgo del sesgo de los trabajos. De esta manera, fueron encontrados 415 trabajos, de estos, solamente cuatro fueron seleccionados para análisis. Se excluyeron tres trabajos porque no eran ensayos controlados, siendo analizado solamente uno en la investigación. En este trabajo analizado, los tratamientos con ultrasonido y con corriente interferencial ayudaron a mejorar el dolor y la calidad del sueño de los pacientes con fibromialgia, sin embargo, el trabajo presentó alto riesgo de sesgo, no siendo posible comprobar solamente el efecto de la corriente interferencial en estos pacientes. Hay muy pocos estudios controlados aleatorizados sobre el empleo de la corriente interferencial en pacientes con fibromialgia. Los resultados de esta revisión demuestran la importancia de desarrollar futuras investigaciones con marco metodológico adecuado y terapia independiente con corriente interferencial a fin de mejorar la indicación de este tratamiento para pacientes con fibromialgia en la práctica clínica.Descargas
