Summary: | Introduction: The climacteric is one of the transition periods in the life cycle of women between the reproductive and non-reproductive phase, and it is characterized by various metabolic, psychological and social changes, either by psychic disorders or sexual dysfunctions promoting changes in quality of life. Objective: To analyze the repercussions of electrical stimulation on quality of life, lubrication and myoelectric activity of pelvic floor muscles in postmenopausal women. Methods: This was a pilot study in which the sample consisted of ten menopausal volunteers aged 48-60 years. We used the Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire to determine the improvement in lubrication and the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire to assess quality of life. The pelvic floor muscles were evaluated by electromyography with an intracavitary electrode. The protocol used was: phasic contraction evaluated by three contractions of two seconds and six of rest; three tonic contractions for ten seconds with ten-second rest; and endurance for thirty seconds. The intervention was performed by another researcher, through circulatory stimulation with the Dualpex 961 Quark®. Results: Electromyography after circulatory stimulation showed statistically significant results with an increase in Fast Fourier Transform in tonic and phasic contractions, obtaining a positive effect on the perception and awareness of contractions due to increased blood flow. Also, there was improvement in lubrication and quality of life in all areas. Conclusion: Circulatory stimulation had repercussions on pelvic floor muscles in menopausal women in both muscle physiology and lubrication, with an influence on the quality of life of volunteers. |

Objetivo: Analisar as repercussões da eletroestimulação na qualidade de vida, lubrificação e atividade mioelétrica dos músculos do assoalho pélvico em mulheres menopausadas. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo piloto no qual a amostra foi composta por dez voluntárias em menopausa com idade entre 48 e 60 anos. Para avaliar a melhora da lubrificação foi utilizado o questionário Female Sexual Function Index. Quanto à qualidade de vida, utilizou-se o questionário WHOQOL-bref. Já para a avaliação dos músculos do assoalho pélvico, utilizou-se a eletromiografia com eletrodo intracavitário. O protocolo utilizado foi: contração fásica avaliada por três contrações de dois segundos e seis de repouso; três contrações tônicas sustentadas por dez segundos com repouso de dez segundos; endurance durante trinta segundos. A intervenção foi realizada por outra pesquisadora, através de estimulação circulatória com o aparelho Dualpex 961 Quark®. Resultados: A eletromiografia pós-estimulação circulatória obteve resultados significativos, com aumento na Fast Fourier Transform nas contrações tônicas e fásicas, obtendo efeito positivo na percepção e conscientização das contrações devido ao aumento do fluxo sanguíneo. Houve, também, melhora na lubrificação e na qualidade de vida em todos os domínios. Conclusão: A estimulação circulatória apresentou repercussões nos músculos do assoalho pélvico em mulheres menopausadas tanto na fisiologia muscular quanto na lubrificação, influenciando a qualidade de vida das voluntárias.Editora PUCPRESS2022-09-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/article/view/2834910.1590/fm.2022.35601Fisioterapia em Movimento (Physical Therapy in Movement); Vol. 35 (2022): Special Issue - Women´ s HealthFisioterapia em Movimento; v. 35 (2022): Edição Especial - Saúde da Mulher1980-5918reponame:Fisioterapia em Movimentoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUC-PR)instacron:PUC_PRengporhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/article/view/28349/25646https://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/article/view/28349/25647Copyright (c) 2022 PUCPRESSinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantos, Emanuelle Milayne Araújo dosMoura, Amanda LopesArruda, Lucas Queiroz deUchôa, Silvana Maria de Macedo2022-09-19T17:41:56Zoai:ojs.periodicos.pucpr.br:article/28349Revistahttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisioPRIhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/oairubia.farias@pucpr.br||revista.fisioterapia@pucpr.br1980-59180103-5150opendoar:2022-09-19T17:41:56Fisioterapia em Movimento - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUC-PR)false |
