Resumen

LOBAINA ACOSTA, Cipriano  y  CUTINO CLAVEL, Ileana. Evaluation of the acupuncture analgesia in patients operated on for hemorrhoids . MEDISAN [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.10, pp. 1486-1493. ISSN 1029-3019.

A therapeutic clinical trial was carried out in 120 patients operated on for hemorrhoids at the Coloproctology Department of "Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" General Teaching Hospital of Santiago de Cuba, from January to June 2007, to evaluate the effectiveness of the acupuncture analgesia. The case material was divided into 2 groups with 60 members each, who were treated in the most critical moment of pain with conventional Western and acupuncture analgesia, respectively. The results were validated through SPSS version 11.5, by means of Mann Whitney hypothesis and means comparison tests with a significance level lower than 0.05. In both groups pain assessment was performed at 30 and 60 minutes, with more effectiveness in the last time and in those treated with acupuncture. Also, analgesia was achieved with longer durability and no adverse reactions.

Palabras clave : pain; analgesia; acupuncture; hemorrhoid; hemorrhoidectomy; secondary health care.
