Valoració de l'eficàcia del dexketoprofèn en la síndrome subacromial amb diferents tractaments de fisioteràpia
Ultrasound is of the most widely used techniques in physiotherapy to treat subacromial syndrome. Phonophoresis and iontophoresis are physical agents that, in contrast to ultrasound, use a drug as an electrical conductor. To evaluate whether the use of dexketoprofen as a conductor in phonophoresis an...

| Summary: | Ultrasound is of the most widely used techniques in physiotherapy to treat subacromial syndrome. Phonophoresis and iontophoresis are physical agents that, in contrast to ultrasound, use a drug as an electrical conductor. To evaluate whether the use of dexketoprofen as a conductor in phonophoresis and iontophoresis leads to a greater improvement than the use of ultrasound, a randomized clinical trial was carried out on three treatment groups, each of which was administered a different technique. The main variables in the study were the visual analog scale (VAS), the DASH questionnaire and the Constant-Murley scale. The Constant-Murley scale and the VAS found significant differences between the ultrasound and iontophoresis, and the Constant-Murley scale found significant differences between phonophoresis and iontophoresis. All the patients significantly improved in terms of the three variables after the treatment. Consequently, the three physical agents are effective but the use of dexketoprofen does not improve the results. |
