Abstract

Teoretična izhodišča: Bolečina v križu velja za eno izmed najpogostejših zdravstvenih težav na svetu. V letu 2020 se je z njo soočalo kar 619 milijonov ljudi, pričakuje pa se, da se bo v prihodnosti to število še povečalo. Bolečine v križu lahko razvrstimo v različne kategorije, pri čemer predstavlja največji izziv nespecifična bolečina. Trenutne smernice rehabilitacije ne podpirajo uporabe številnih fizikalnih agensov, z izjemo nizkoenergijskega laserja. Med fizikalne agense spada tudi TECAR terapija, ki jo uvrščamo med dolgovalovno diatermijo. Čeprav gre za novejšo metodo, je smernice kljub dokazom o njeni učinkovitosti pri zdravljenju ortopedskih poškodb za enkrat še ne omenjajo. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je bil na podlagi pregleda literature ugotoviti, ali je TECAR terapija učinkovita metoda pri zdravljenju bolečin v križu. Metode dela: V empiričnem delu smo uporabili kvalitativno metodo. Znanstveno literaturo smo iskali v bazah PubMed, Google Scholar, Research Gate, PEDro, Semantic Scholar in Hrčak. Zadetke smo iskali na podlagi iskalnega niza: »Low back pain« OR »lumbar pain« AND »TECAR« OR »capacitive and resistive electric transfer« OR »capacitive and resistive diathermy«. V pregled literature smo vključili članke s prostim dostopom do besedila, ki so bili objavljeni med letoma 2014 in 2024 v nam razumljivem jeziku. Rezultati: V končno analizo je bilo vključenih 8 raziskav. V vseh raziskavah se je TECAR terapija izkazala za učinkovito metodo pri lajšanju bolečin v križu in izboljšanju funkcionalnosti. Razprava: TECAR terapija s svojimi učinki kratkoročno prispeva k izboljšanju bolečine v križu in izboljšanju funkcionalnosti, zaradi nezadostne literature pa zaenkrat še ne moremo trditi, da je učinkovitejša od ostalih fizikalnih agensov.

Secondary abstract:	Theoretical background: Low back pain is one of the most common health issues globally. In 2020, 619 million people were affected by it, and this number is expected to increase in the future. Low back pain can be classified into different categories, with non-specific pain being the most challenging. Current rehabilitation guidelines do not recommend the use of many physical agents, except for low-level laser. TECAR is also a physical agent, classified as long-wave diathermy. Despite the evidence of its effectiveness in treating orthopedic injuries, the guidelines have not yet mentioned it. Purpose: The purpose of the thesis was to determine if TECAR therapy is an effective method in treating low back pain, based on a literature review. Work methods: In the empirical part of the thesis, a qualitative method was used. Scientific literature was searched in PubMed, Google Scholar, Research Gate, PEDro, Semantic Scholar, and Hrčak databases. The search was based on the following string: "Low back pain" OR "lumbar pain" AND "TECAR" OR "capacitive and resistive electric transfer" OR "capacitive and resistive diathermy". Articles with free access to the text, published between 2014 and 2024 in a language that we understand, were included. Results: The final analysis included 8 studies. In all these studies, TECAR therapy was found to be an effective method for reducing low back pain and improving functionality. Discussion: TECAR therapy leads to short-term improvement in low back pain and functionality. However, due to insufficient literature, it cannot be claimed that TECAR therapy is more effective than other physical agents.
