Disminución del dolor en cervicalgias mediante la aplicación de microcorrientes

We aim to verify the effectiveness of microcurrents in pain, specifically in cervical pain. A total of 20 patients with acute or chronic neck pain have been treated in the out-patient clinic with microcurrent technology exclusively. Pain assessment was performed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) for self-assessment before and after the full treatment. The mean VAS before treatment was 65.45 and the average post-treatment was 21.90. Mean treatment duration was 3.5 weeks. The results of this study are consistent with the studies published in other countries on applications of microcurrents in this condition. There are few publications on applications of microcurrents. The benefits observed in the study with this technology are rapid functional recovery of the patient, no side effects or contraindications, ease of application and good feeling for the patient as well as a very good cost/benefit ratio. The set of observations supports carrying out more rigorous studies with this technology.
