Parameters of vibration stimulation for the relief of pain of different origins and locations
Journal Title: Rehabilitacja Medyczna - Year 2018, Vol 22, Issue 2
Abstract
The use of vibration stimulation in alleviating pain is an issue appearing more and more often in modern rehabilitation.<br/><br/>The aim of the work was to review literature regarding the therapeutic usage of vibrations in analgesic activity.<br/><br/>Searches based on the effect of alleviating pain with the help of vibrotherapy in the therapy of diseases of various origins and localizations, as well as with various physical therapy treatments and modalities. The most important parameters were determined, such as: frequency, amplitude, places of application, and exposure time, and were described on the basis of selected tests. Both the Polish and English-language literature has been discussed. Most of the studies were English-language (over 93%). The searches were carried out among the following databases: Medline, Embase, Cochrane, ScienceDirect, PubMed, IEEE Xplore, Wiley Online Library. The key words used were: pain, vibration, WBV, analgesics. The mentioned sources were qualified on the basis of: availability, data verification, selection of research material and regularity of update.<br/><br/>While acute pain is, by definition, a short and self-limiting process, chronic pain begins to dominate life and concerns the patient and his/her family. In addition to significant deterioration in quality of life, chronic pain imposes a large financial burden. The use of vibrotherapy can be a solution. Therefore, it is proposed to further analyse the parameters of vibrotherapy in analgesic activity, which may lay the foundation for "personalized pain relief medicine", which will clearly define the standards of vibrational therapy parameters.<br/><br/>pain, vibration, WBV, analgesics<br/><br/>
