ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To explore the available knowledge on the application of biopsychosocial model (BPS) in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). METHODS: A scoping review, including 32 papers that used a BPS to manage adult patients with CLBP, published in any language. Six different databases were searched. RESULTS: According to the description of the protocols, most of them use BPS for assessment of the patients. In this first stage the most often evaluated were pain and disability, kinesiophobia and quality of life, and work-related factors. The intervention most used associate psychological and physical domains using pain education or cognitive functional therapy and active exercise. Even though was not the most common, in the social domain occupational, behavioral and family interventions were observed. CONCLUSION: BPS is more often used as combination of physical and psychological aspects, being the social domain restricted to work-related factors. Patien'ts perception of their health status is little explored, and it is suggested that the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health be used. PRACTICE IMPLICATION: Patient perception as well as social factors in addition to occupational ones should be included in the clinical approach of the patient with CLBP and should be further explored in research.

Objetivos: Codificar, através da Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade (CIF), o estado de saúde dos pacientes internados em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) cardiotorácica e comparar a codificação da mobilidade destes na admissão e na alta da unidade. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo observacional longitudinal descritivo, na UTI Cardiotorácica adulta, no segundo dia de internação e no dia da alta. Os dados foram coletados por meio de uma ficha de internação e de um checklist cardiológico da CIF. Resultados: Amostra composta por 43 pacientes, idade média de 50,58 ± 17,24 anos, com internação média de 3,42 ± 4,24 dias. Na codificação relacionada a transferência e locomoção, feita na avaliação e alta, observou-se resultados estatisticamente significantes (p < 0,001) para todas as variáveis analisadas. Conclusão: A CIF demonstrou grande capacidade de padronizar a linguagem entre os profissionais na UTI além de quantificar a evolução dos pacientes. (AU)
Objectives: To codify, using the International Classification of Functioning (ICF), the health status of patients hospitalized in the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and compare the encoding of these mobility at admission and at discharge from the unit. Methods: A descriptive longitudinal study was performed in adult Cardiothoracic ICU on the second day of admission and day of discharge. Data were collected through a hospitalization form and a cardiology checklist of CIF. Results: A sample of 43 patients, 50.58 ± 17.24 years old, with an average hospital stay of 3.42 ± 4.24 days. We noticed that, in coding related to transfer and locomotion, made in the assessment and discharge, there was a statistically significant result (p < 0.001) for all variables. Conclusion: The ICF has shown great ability to standardize the language among professionals in the ICU as well as quantify the evolution of intensive care unit patients.(AU)

Background. Injections of acidic saline into the gastrocnemius muscle in rats produce a bilateral long-lasting hyperalgesia similar to fibromyalgia in humans. No previous study investigated the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on this acidic saline model. This study aimed to identify the effects of EA in the hyperalgesia produced by repeated intramuscular injections of acidic saline. Methods. Rats were divided into four groups (n = 6, each group): control, acupuncture, EA 15 Hz, and 100 Hz. Left gastrocnemius muscle was injected with 100 µ L of pH 4.0 sterile saline twice five days apart. EA, acupuncture, or control therapy was daily administered (20 min) for 5 consecutive days under anesthesia. Needles were placed in the St36 and Sp6 acupoints. The assessment of secondary mechanical hyperalgesia, thermal hyperalgesia, and motor performance was performed before injections and before and after the treatment performed on each day. The paw withdrawal threshold was tested using the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test and differences within the group Wilcoxon Matched Pairs. The latency and motor performance were tested for ANOVA parametric test for independent measures, and for differences in the group, we used t-test for paired samples. Post hoc Tukey test was used for multiple corrections. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results. Indicate that there was a significant reduction of mechanical withdrawal threshold and paw withdrawal latency 24 hours following the second injection. Moreover, mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia were significantly reversed by EA 15, 100 Hz, and acupuncture. Conclusions. The results suggest that EA high and low frequency as well as acupuncture are effective in reducing hyperalgesia in chronic muscle pain model.
