Introducció : La microkinesiteràpia és una branca de la fisioteràpia cada vegada més estudiada
que utilitza l’escala microscòpica per tractar lesions musculo-esquelètiques i psicosomàtiques.
Les cefalees tensionals afecten amb més prevalença a dones adultes i, tot i sent una patologia
que ocasiona molèsties conegudes, el tractament de primera intenció és farmacològic i no tracta
la causa d’aparició.
Objectius : Estudiar l’efecte de la microkinesiteràpia en la freqüència, durada i intensitat de les
cefalees tensionals així com la consumició de fàrmacs, l’impacte sobre la qualitat de vida i els
beneficis a llarg termini de la microkinesiteràpia. Aportar nous elements de validació legal de
la microkinesiteràpia.
Població d’estudi i Mètodes : 154 dones d’entre 30 i 50 anys amb cefalees tensionals cròniques
repartides en dos grups. El grup experimental rebrà 2 sessions de microkinesiteràpia més 8 de
tractament convencional (teràpia manual, exercicis de relaxació i de respiració abdominals)
mentre que el grup control rebrà només 8 sessions del tractament convencional.
Instruments per a l’obtenció de les dades : Demanarem que les pacients registrin en un diari
de cefalees la freqüència, la intensitat (utilitzant la Numerical Rating Scale) i la durada de les
cefalees així com el tipus i la posologia de fàrmacs utilitzats. Utilitzarem el MIDAS (Migraine
Disability Assessement questionaire) i el HDI (Headache Disability Inventory) per avaluar el
impacte de la microkinesiteràpia sobre la qualitat de vida.
Limitacions de l’estudi : No avaluació de l’efecte placebo, no consens científic del tractament
convencional de fisioteràpia per les cefalees de tensió, la intensitat del dolor és una variable
subjectiva difícilment avaluable, la microkinesiteràpia no té encara prou evidència científica.
Background : Microkinesitherapy is a branch of physiotherapy that is being studied more and
more over the years. This technique is based on the usage of a microscopic scale to treat
musculoskeletal and psychosomatic lesions. Tension-type headaches affect with higher
prevalence women and whose uncomfortable símptomes are well known. Despite that, its firstaid treatment is pharmacological and does not treat its initial causes.
Objectives: To study the effect of microkinesitherapy on the frequency, duration and intensity
of the tension-type headaches, as well as on the consumption of drugs, the impact on the quality
of life and the long-term benefits of microkinesitherapy. Bring news elements to evalue
microkinesitherapy.
Study population and methods: 154 women between 30 and 50 years old with tension
headaches distributed in two groups. The experimental group will receive 2 sessions of
microkinesitherapy plus 8 of conventional treatment (manual therapy, relaxation exercises and
abdominal breathing) while the control group will receive only 8 sessions of the conventional
treatment.
Instruments for obtaining data: We will request that patients register in a journal of the
headaches the frequency, intensity (using the Numerical Rating Scale) and the duration of the
headaches as well as the type and dosage of drugs used. We will use MIDAS (Migraine
Disability Assessment Questionnaire) and the HDI (Headache Disability Inventory) to evaluate
the impact of micro-therapy on quality of life.
Study limitacions : No evaluation of the placebo effect, no scientific consensus on the
conventional treatment of physiotherapy for the tension headaches, the intensity of pain is a
subjective variable that is difficult to evaluate, the microkinesitherapy does not yet have
sufficient scientific evidence.^^^^
