Abstract

Aims: In the present study the Aussie current was used in volunteers with delayed-onset muscle pain (DOMS), in order to evaluate a possible analgesia, as well as the behavior of the same in relation to the accommodations during different sessions. Material and Methdos: The sample consisted of 20 volunteers randomized into two groups: Control Group (CG) or Aussie Current Group (ACG), submitted to a protocol of induction of DOMS in triceps sural. The analgesic behavior was evaluated by the Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAPS) as well as the accommodation of the current in three days of treatment. Results: For VAPS both groups presented similar behavior. Regarding accommodation, there was difference only in the intensity used with the need for greater intensities with the passage of the therapies, without differences for the time and number of accommodations. Conclusion: The Aussie Current did not produce analgesic effects in DOMS, but its behavior in the accommodation did not show any additive effects.
