Clinical Trial Summary

A headache is a more common disorder and one that prevails over a lifetime of much of the population. Among the causes are in the stress and spasms of the pericranial musculature, presence of painful sensitivity in the region, decrease of pain threshold, and a presence of trigger points (PGs) that can also cause as headaches. The solutions for health and health, in addition to Percutaneous Microelectrolysis (MEP®), which is used in the application of low intensity galvanic current through the acupuncture needle. Although it is a very common pathology, it is still little studied and a lack of information is a question of solutions such as crisis of care. This work justifies the negative bones of CTT in university students, as this has repercussions on the quality of life, besides proposing a therapeutic approach to reduce the symptomatology. The present study aims to investigate the effects of myofascial release techniques, MEP® and an association of therapies, observing the impact on quality of life and repercussions on academic performance. This is a controlled clinical trial of a convenience-based approach, consisting of universities between the 1st and 10th Physical Therapy course of Estácio Ponta Negra, over 18 years of age, who are not present in the application of the questionnaires, It is necessary to use the medicine of the analgesic type. The volunteers are evaluated through the HIT-6 and SF-36 questionnaires, after a selection of pain evaluation, PGs and algometry. The randomization will consist of 4 groups, after a consultation and an immediate re-evaluation and a second time and a new intervention and re-evaluation. A descriptive and inferential statistics will be performed through the SPSS 20.0 program. The normality of the data is observed by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test. For a comparison between groups whose parametric data are applied or anova test with post hoc tukey comingue of significance of 5% (p <0.05). It is believed that the use of the association of myofascial release techniques and Percutaneous Microelectronics promotes greater benefits in tension headache.
