Resumen
PEREIRA, Claudia Dayube et al. Laser-acupuncture to control blood glucose in Type II Diabetes: a randomized clinical trial. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2021, vol.20, n.62, pp.492-530. Epub 18-Mayo-2021. ISSN 1695-6141. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.443241.
Objective
To evaluate the effectiveness of laser-acupuncture applied to nursing care for people with type II diabetes mellitus.
Methods:
Randomized, triple-blinded clinical trial, with 42 type II diabetic participants, both genders, aged between 30 and 75 years, using oral hypoglycemic agents and difficulties in maintaining postprandial glycaemia ≤ 180mg/dl. Participants were randomly assigned to two different groups and submitted to standard laser-acupuncture, experimental arm, or simulated, control arm. Descriptive and association analyses between variables were used, with a significance level of 5% (p <0,05). To compare blood glucose results, Student’s t test was used for paired samples and Anova for repeated measurements.
Results:
A significant decrease in capillary glycaemia was observed in the participants in the experimental arm, a phenomenon not verified in those in the control arm.
Conclusions:
the plausibility of using the technique as a technology for nursing care for people with type II diabetes mellitus is inferred. Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials. UTN: U1111-1181-1675. Clinical Trials NCT02605889.
