Teste contato de pele (TCP) e Bess Teste em fisioterapia dermatofuncional: novos parâmetros

Abstract

Introduction: Knowing that treatments need proof and that it is necessary to increase research in the area of Dermatofunctional Physiotherapy. Objective: this research aimed to standardize the Skin Contact Test (SCT) and the Bess Test in dermatofunctional physiotherapy. Method: A quantitative and exploratory research of the simple blind type was carried out in the Dermatofunctional Physiotherapy Laboratory (LABDEF) of the Physiotherapy Course at the Federal University of Ceará in the city of Fortaleza-CE for two years with a sample of 65 patients. Results: There was statistical significance in the female gender (p<0.01) and in the age group (p<0.001) between 18 and 25 years old. When performing the TCP there was a statistical significance of hyperemia (p<0.001) and pruritus (p<0.01) and in the Bess Test before after applying a dermatofunctional electrotherapeutic resource, statistical significance was also observed (p<0.01). Final consideration: SCT and Bess Teste are two new parameters that can be used as tests in the area of Physiotherapy, especially Dermatofunctional.
