INTRODUCCIÓ SOBRE L’ACUPUNTURA
• Acupuntura: Intervenció terapèutica originaria de la Medicina Tradicional Xinesa que es basa en l’estimulació de zones concretes de la superfície corporal (punts d’acupuntura) mitjançant diferents estímuls com ara la inserció d’agulles d’acupuntura, la pressió, l’aplicació de calor o fins i tot, corrent elèctric.

INTRODUCCIÓ SOBRE L’EVIDÈNCIA
CIENTÍFICA
Evidence based practice Pràctica basada en PROVES
¿Què és una revisió sistemàtica?
• Treballs de síntesis sobre una temàtica concreta.
• Les seves unitats d’anàlisi són estudis originals primaris.
• Sintetitzen i avaluen tots els articles publicats sobre una temàtica concreta.
• Permeten obtenir un major grau d’evidència i identifiquen àrees de desconeixement
¿Què és un metanàlisis?
• Anàlisis estadístic dels resultats de diversos estudis
• Permeten obtenir una major potència estadística
• Permeten obtenir resultats més precisos i fiables
• S’acostumen a representar mitjançant “forest plots”

• Los resultados sugieren que el uso de intervenciones no farmacológicas para las náuseas y vómitos inducidos por la quimioterapia debe ser considerada en pacientes con cáncer, especialmente aquellos que experimentan emesis recurrente en los ciclos posteriores. La muestra consistió principalmente en ensayos clínicos aleatorios, que cuenta con fuerte nivel de evidencia de los resultados, a pesar de que no fue posible realizar un metanálisis debido a las diferentes medidas de resultado evaluadas en relación con el perfil de los pacientes (tipo de cáncer, el sexo, el protocolo de quimioterapia, tipo de intervención), así como la caracterización de las náuseas y los vómitos. La estimulación del punto P6 demostró eficacia para potenciar el tratamiento antiemético, aunque no está claro cuál es la mejor técnica a emplear. Es de destacar que las estrategias de enseñanza deben adoptarse contribuir a la adherencia del paciente. Se considera crucial que se realizan estudios clínicos que evalúan la eficacia de las posibles alternativas al tratamiento y prevención de las náuseas y vómitos inducidos por la quimioterapia

CONCLUSIONS
• Tractament segur i ben tolerat.
• Només el tractament de nàusees i vòmits té un grau d’evidència alta.
• Existeixen estudis més o menys adequats que apunten a la seva possible efectivitat en diverses situacions.
• Les principals limitacions de l’evidència actual són degudes a:
▫ Falta d’estudis de qualitat (RCT)
▫ Falta d’una correcta metodologia (aleatorització, cegament...)
▫ Desconeixement (tractament més efectiu?, grup control adequat?)
