Introducción: como objetivos de nuestro estudio nos planteamos conocer la eficacia de la diatermia capacitiva monopolar mediante radiofrecuencia (DCMR), en aplicación estática, en la reducción de la celulitis y los perímetros corporales en la zona glútea y posterior del muslo, e identificar qué pauta terapéutica de las empleadas es más eficaz. Material y método: desarrollamos (Facultad de Enfermería, Fisioterapia y Podología, Universidad de Sevilla, 2010-2011) un ensayo clínico piloto controlado aleatorizado con dos grupos en paralelo. El primero recibió aplicación local de la DCMR (30 minutos), y el segundo, idéntica aplicación seguida de una segmentaria (20 minutos). Muestra: 24 sujetos, miembros inferiores de 12 mujeres con celulitis, asignados mediante azar sistemático a cada grupo. Cada miembro inferior de cada paciente recibió uno de los dos tratamientos (20 sesiones, 2 semanales, no en días consecutivos) actuando un miembro como control sobre el otro del mismo paciente. Variables evaluadas: grado de celulitis y perímetros medidos a 15, 20, 30 y 40 cm. de la espina ilíaca anterosuperior y en el punto medio entre ésta y el polo superior de la rótula, medidas todas antes (pretest) y después (postest) del tratamiento. Resultados: ambos tratamientos mostraron diferencias significativas (p 0,05). No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre ambos tratamientos. Conclusiones: la DCMR en aplicación estática es efectiva en la reducción de la celulitis y los perímetros corporales situados dentro del campo eléctrico generado en la aplicación local. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre las modalidades de tratamiento empleadas.
ABSTRACT Background: our objective wos to consider to know monopolar capacitive radiofrequency diathermy (MCRD) ef-ficacy, in static application, to reduce cellulite and body-circumferences on gluteus and posterior thigh and to iden-tify the most effective treatment modality. Material and method: randomized pilot control trial, two study groups in parallel, was developed (Facultad de Enfermería, Fisioterapia y Podología, Universidad de Sevilla, 2010-2011). First group received diathermy local application (30 minutes), the second one received this application followed by a seg-mentary one (20 minutes). Sample: 24 subjects, 12 women´s lower limbs with cellulite, assigned by systematic ran-dom. Each leg belonging to the same patient received one of two treatments (20 sessions, two weekly on non consecutive days) acting as a control over the other one from the same patient. Variables: cellulite grade and body-circumferences measured at 15, 20, 30 and 40 cm. from the anterior superior iliac spine and in the middle point bet-ween this one and the superior patellar pole. All of them were measured before (pretest) and after (postest) treatment. Results: both treatments were statistically significant (p 0.05). No statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) were found between the two treatment modalities studied. Conclusions: MCRD in static application is effective in cellulite and body-circumferences reduction located within the electric field generated in the local application. No statistically sig-nificant differences were found between the two treatment modalities.
