| It is expected to find no difference in the analgesic effect between the currents, but there may be differences regarding the sensation of comfort of the currents in the different groups. The method used will be the Numerical Pain Scale (NDT) for pain intensity assessment. It will be used to evaluate the pain intensity of the participants. It is a simple and easily applied scale that assesses the individual's perception of the intensity of their pain (Annex 3). It consists of a numerical sequence of 11 points, ranging from 0 to 10, where value 0 represents “no pain” and value 10 represents “worst possible pain”(33). Pain intensity will be measured in all study groups. The evaluation of this parameter will be done verbally, in which the patient must report the intensity of her pain at the end of each carboxytherapy puncture. This procedure will occur in all sessions and at the end of the study, pain intensity will be compared at three different times, with a total of 3 sessions. ;It is expected to find a difference in the sensation of comfort of the current, being expected that the medium frequency, aussie and interferecinal are more comfortable. The method used to evaluate sensory comfort will be through the Visual Analog Pain Scale: Sensory comfort will be measured with a 10 cm visual analog scale (VAS) where the subject will be asked to draw a perpendicular line on the VAS line, the closer the 0 cm will be, the more comfortable the current and the closer to 10 cm, the less comfortable the current will be(34). The evaluation of this parameter will be done verbally, in which the patient should report the current comfort after 1 minute of the current amplitude adjustment. | — |
