lombalgia, dor lombar crônica, acupuntura, medicina chinesa.Abstract
A dor lombar (DL) ou lombalgia, definida como um distúrbio doloroso que afeta a parte inferior da coluna, é caracterizada com dor persistindo por mais de 12 semanas de duração. A etiologia em 70% dos casos, é devida a causas idiopáticas, mecânicas e não é específica. O tratamento convencional inclui opções farmacológicas e não farmacológicas. A terapia farmacológica de primeira linha envolve o uso principalmente de anti-inflamatórios não-esteroidais (AINEs), opioides, relaxantes do músculo esquelético e antiepilépticos. No entanto, a maioria desses tratamentos farmacológicos produz alívio limitado da dor e aproximadamente 25 a 30% dos pacientes desenvolvem efeitos colaterais graves. Portanto, abordagens complementares estão sendo integradas aos programas de reabilitação. Muitos estudos mostram resultados promissores para a acupuntura como um tratamento para a lombalgia. Desta forma, tivemos como objetivo neste trabalho avaliar o papel e aplicação da acupuntura no tratamento da dor lombar em pacientes através da revisão bibliográfica e análise de artigos científicos publicados recentemente em periódicos.
