          Abstract

          ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the evidence of application of short-wave diathermy (SWD) in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP) and its prescription parameters. The data sources (MEDLINE, PubMed, LILACS, DARE, PsycINFO, AusportMed, SciELO, PEDro and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) were systematically searched for articles published up to December 2017. Randomized and non-randomized clinical trial studies that investigated the effect of the application of SWD on CLBP were selected. Two independent reviewers assessed the risk of bias in studies using the Jadad and the Downs & Black scales. Five studies (731 patients) were included, all of whom presented improvements in CLBP. The majority used continuous mode SWD, with only one using pulsed mode (82 and 200 Hz). SWD produced improvements in CLBP, but there is limited evidence for its application, and a lack of standardization of the parameters used. Furthermore, the results that address this topic should be interpreted with caution due to their low methodological quality and limited number. Level of evidence II; Systematic review.

          RESUMEN El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la evidencia de la diatermia por ondas cortas (DOC) en individuos con dolor lumbar crónico (DLC) y sus parámetros de prescripción. Las fuentes de datos (MEDLINE, PubMed, LILACS, DARE, PsycINFO, AusportMed, SciELO, PEDro y Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) fueron utilizadas para búsquedas sistemáticas de artículos publicados hasta diciembre de 2017. Fueron seleccionados los estudios de ensayos clínicos aleatorizados y no aleatorizados que investigaron el efecto de la aplicación de DOC en DLC. Dos revisores independientes evaluaron el riesgo de sesgo en estudios usando las escalas Jadad y Downs & Black. Fueron incluidos cinco estudios (731 pacientes) y todos presentaron mejora en DLC. La mayoría usó la DOC de modo continuo, con sólo uno usando el modo pulsado (82 y 200 Hz). La DOC produjo mejoras en DLC, sin embargo, hay evidencias limitadas para su aplicación y ausencia de estandarización de los parámetros utilizados. Además, los resultados que se refieren a ese tópico deben interpretarse con cautela debido a la baja calidad metodológica y al número limitado de estudios. Nivel de evidencia II; Revisión sistemática.

            Assessing the quality of randomized trials: reliability of the Jadad scale.

            An instrument was developed and validated by Jadad, et al. to assess the quality of clinical trials using studies from the pain literature. Our study determined the reliability of the Jadad scale and the effect of blinding on interrater agreement in another group of primary studies. Four raters independently assessed blinded and unblinded versions of 76 randomized trials. Interrater agreement was calculated among combinations of four raters for blinded and unblinded versions of the studies. A 4 x 2 x 2 repeated measures design was employed to evaluate the effect of blinding. The interrater agreement for the Jadad scale was poor (kappa 0.37 to 0.39), but agreement improved substantially (kappa 0.53 to 0.59) with removal of the third item (an explanation of withdrawals). Blinding did not significantly affect the Jadad scale scores. A more precise description of how to score the withdrawal item and careful conduct of a practice set of articles might improve interrater agreement. In contrast with the conclusions reached by Jadad, we were unable to demonstrate a significant effect of blinding on the quality scores.

              Interventional therapies, surgery, and interdisciplinary rehabilitation for low back pain: an evidence-based clinical practice guideline from the American Pain Society.

              Clinical practice guideline. To develop evidence-based recommendations on use of interventional diagnostic tests and therapies, surgeries, and interdisciplinary rehabilitation for low back pain of any duration, with or without leg pain. Management of patients with persistent and disabling low back pain remains a clinical challenge. A number of interventional diagnostic tests and therapies and surgery are available and their use is increasing, but in some cases their utility remains uncertain or controversial. Interdisciplinary rehabilitation has also been proposed as a potentially effective noninvasive intervention for persistent and disabling low back pain. A multidisciplinary panel was convened by the American Pain Society. Its recommendations were based on a systematic review that focused on evidence from randomized controlled trials. Recommendations were graded using methods adapted from the US Preventive Services Task Force and the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation Working Group. Investigators reviewed 3348 abstracts. A total of 161 randomized trials were deemed relevant to the recommendations in this guideline. The panel developed a total of 8 recommendations. Recommendations on use of interventional diagnostic tests and therapies, surgery, and interdisciplinary rehabilitation are presented. Due to important trade-offs between potential benefits, harms, costs, and burdens of alternative therapies, shared decision-making is an important component of a number of the recommendations.
