RESUMO:

Chikungunya has reached thousands of Brazilians, with alarming numbers of serious and disabling cases throughout the country. It is a disease transmitted by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, which causes acute onset fever, joint and muscle pain and fatigue. The persistence of symptoms with continuous and disabling joint pain has been a characteristic of relevant concern for collective health. There is still no specific treatment for cases of chronic pain caused by Chikungunya and the mechanisms responsible for chronic pain can be involved in the central pain sensitization phenomenon. Neuromodulation techniques could act on these effects and among them there is Transcranial Current Stimulation (ETCC), which is a technique of applying currents of low intensity on the scalp in order to modulate cerebral areas and has been shown to be efficient in the treatment of cases involving chronic pain. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of CTEF on chronic pain in patients treated by Chikungunya. A randomized clinical trial of 59 women with Chikungunya, aged between 28 and 70 years, was divided into two experimental groups (CTEF) and placebo (SHAM). The socio demographic and clinical characteristics of the participants were evaluated, as well as the level of functional capacity and pain symptomatology before and after being submitted to six sessions of ECTS every other day. The mean age of the participants was 52.85 ± 10.76 years and the time of onset of the disease presented an average of 21.54 ± 3.53 months. Regarding the presence of Chikungunya-associated diseases, 39% reported having a previous rheumatic disease. For the variables of functional capacity and pain, an improvement was observed in the two groups of the research, but this difference was more expressive in the CTEF group, especially when compared to pain at different moments, with a follow-up of fifteen days after the last session. Both the ETCC and SHAM techniques were able to improve the pain and functional aspects in individuals affected by chikungunya over two weeks, however for the variable pain there was time and group interaction, suggesting that the ETCC group obtained better results.
