Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcomes are quality of life measured by the haemaqol instrument and pain measured by the visual analogue pain scale VAS. Haemaqol checked the quality of life of hemophiliacs before Acupuncture or Tens therapy and at the end of 5 sessions of each therapy. VAS checked pain intensity before and after each of the 5 therapy sessions. The expected result after the interventions is pain reduction and after the Quality of Life questionnaire, Haemaqol evaluates ten aspects: Physical Health, How You Feel, Way You See, Sports and Leisure, Work and School, Way to deal with Hemophilia, Treatment, Future, Family Planning. Likert scale and the score for the evaluation of the questionnaire have 100% criteria for each item, the higher the percentage the worse the situation. The expected results are the improvement of each item after the intervention, ie the percentage reduction in each item.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
HJHS as a secondary outcome. Evaluates the degree of joint involvement through the HJHS (HJHS - Haemophilia Joint Health Score). HJHS is the most recognized standardized assessment in hemophilia. The interpretation of the HJHS is performed through a score. The score ranges from 0-124 (total); zero (0) no musculoskeletal changes and 120 maximum changes in the 6 evaluated joints: elbow (D / E), knee (D / E), ankle (D / E), plus gait evaluation (which there are actually 4 skills: walking, walking up and down, running and jumping on one foot), The skills involved in walking are pointed from 0 to 4, where 0 means no change in skills, 1 means one of the changed skills, 2 means 2 changed skills, 3 means 3 changed skills and 4 all changed skills). Still regarding the interpretation of the HJHS score, the individual evaluation of the joints goes from 0 to 20, where zero is no change and 20 the maximum musculoskeletal change in this joint. Thus 20 points (maximum score) X 6 (6 joints CE, CD, JE, JD, TE, TD) = 120 points + 4 gears + 124 HJHS maximum score.
