Analysis of modifed ilib therapy in patients submitted to plastic surgery
Abstract
The sample comprised 44 volunteers who had undergone some surgical procedure and were equally divided into four groups.
G1 started the therapy 24 h after the surgical procedure with the device of. G2 followed the same time pattern, 24 h, but
with the device turned on. G3 and G4 started therapy three days after the surgical procedure; in G3, the device was turned
of, and in G4, the device remained on during therapy; each session lasted 30 min, using 660 nm (red), energy 180 J. For all
groups, the therapy started with daily use for seven days and followed the interval use of three times a week until completed
21 days. The revaluation was performed after 7 and 21 days. The results found show changes in HR at rest, systolic and
diastolic BP, and in peripheral oxygen saturation, which showed a signifcant diference in the groups that used on-therapy
(p<0.05). In the MCGILL Scale evaluation, the mean total score showed a more accentuated drop in the groups that used
ILIB, (p<0.05). ILIB may have prevented a more signifcant evolution of frosis levels; however, no changes were observed
in the evaluation of sleep and anxiety. The application of the ILIB in patients undergoing plastic surgery was supported
in terms of hemodynamics and pain; in addition, starting the ILIB application 24 h after the procedure proved to be more
advantageous.
