RESUMO:

Chikungunya is a condition that has reached thousands of Brazilians, with alarming numbers of serious and incapacitating cases throughout the country. It is transmitted by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito and causes acute onset fever, joint and muscle pain. The persistence of symptoms of 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 with the phenomenon of central pain sensitization. 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 women with Chikungunya, aged between 28 and 70 years, was divided into two experimental groups (CTEF) and placebo (SHAM). The sociodemographic 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 on alternate days. A total of 59 women participated in the study, with a mean age of 52.85 ± 10.76 years and the time of disease involvement presented a mean 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 greater in the experimental group, especially when compared to pain at different moments, with a follow-up of fifteen days after the last session. ETCC was able to improve the level of pain reported by individuals affected by Chikungunya.
