Fangoterapia é o uso de fangos (lamas, lodos, limos e barros) com objetivo terapêutico, que embora amplamente utilizada em todo mundo, tem seus mecanismos de ação terapêuticos apenas parcialmente compreendidos, principalmente considerando as diferentes origens e composições dos materiais utilizados. Este estudo, inédito no Brasil, teve como objetivo avaliar a eficácia do fango usado tradicionalmente e conhecido como Lama Negra de Peruíbe (LNP) em pacientes portadores de osteoartrite de joelho. Para esta avaliação foram observados 41 indivíduos, tratados com este fango por 15 semanas, sendo que 20 usaram o fango preparado de forma tradicional e 21 o mesmo fango, esterilizado por radiação gama. Admite-se que o efeito da fangoterapia esteja relacionado às características físico-químicas das lamas usadas e por este motivo foram realizadas caracterizações através das técnicas de fluorescência de raios X, análise por ativação neutrônica, espectrometria gama, análise elementar, cinética de resfriamento e potencial de redução. A avaliação do efeito terapêutico se deu por informações subjetivas através dos questionários WOMAC e SF-36 e por informações objetivas pelo uso de radiografias analisadas pela escala de Kellgren e Lawrence. Foi proposto um manual de boas práticas para a extração, preparo, armazenamento e uso deste pelóide. As características da LNP não divergem das da maioria dos fangos estudados, ressaltando que a concentração do enxofre foi maior do que em todas as encontradas. Quanto aos resultados clínicos e radiográficos, os integrantes dos dois grupos apresentaram resposta positiva e estatisticamente significativa sem diferença entre os grupos, indicando que o uso LNP foi efetivo no tratamento da OA e que o uso da radiação gama não alterou a resposta terapêutica. / Mud therapy is the use of mud (sludge, clay and slime) for therapeutic purposes, which although widely used worldwide has its therapeutic mechanisms only partially understood, especially considering the different origins and compositions of the used materials. This study, unpublished in Brazil, aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a traditionally used mud known as Peruíbe Black Mud (PBM) in knee osteoarthritis treatment. For this evaluation, 41 individuals were treated with this mud for 15 weeks, 20 of them used the mud prepared in the traditional way and 21 the same mud sterilized by gamma radiation. It is assumed that the effect of mud therapy is related to the physico-chemical characteristics of the used peloid and for this reason characterizations were performed using X-ray fluorescence, neutron activation analysis, gamma spectrometry, elemental analysis, cooling kinetics and potential reduction. The evaluation of the therapeutic effect was given by subjective information through the WOMAC and SF-36 questionnaires and by objective information from the use of radiographs analyzed by the Kellgren and Lawrence scale. A manual of good practices for extraction, preparation, storage and use of this pellet has been proposed. The characteristics of the LNP did not differ from those of most studied muds, emphasizing that the concentration of the element sulphur was greater than in all the found ones. Regarding the clinical and radiographic results, the members of both groups presented a positive and statistically significant response with no difference between the groups, indicating that LNP was effective in the treatment of OA and that the use of gamma radiation did not alter the therapeutic response.

The Usability Of Clay Deposits In Cankiri And Afyonkarahisar For Pelotherapic Applications

Aytac Okyay, Gozde 01 January 2013 (has links) (PDF)
Thermotherapy using natural thermal mud has played a crucial role for human health care since ancient times. However, recently the SPA and Wellness Centers have come into prominence with the exhaustion of primary reserves of natural thermal mud. In these centers, instead of natural thermal mud, peloids prepared using clay and/or clay minerals with thermal or mineral water through maturation process that changes the physicochemical properties of the clay and/or clay minerals. Turkey has several clay reserves / however, the investigation about their suitability for the pelotherapic applications is not adequate. The aim of this study is to investigate the mineralogical, chemical, and physicochemical properties of the 13 different samples collected from K&uuml / &ccedil / &uuml / khacibey, Hancili, and Kazbekir localities in &Ccedil / ankiri and Kizil&ouml / ren, Karadirek, and H&uuml / dai localities in Afyonkarahisar in order to evaluate their suitability for pelotherapic applications. The results of mineralogical, chemical, and physicochemical analyses including cation exchange capacity, swelling index, plastic index, water loss, specific surface area, grain size and cooling rate properties were compared with the results in the previous studies. For maturation process distilled water and two different commercial mineral water with different chemical compositions were used. At the end of the four week long maturation, the peloids are evaluated in the sense of consistency, ease of handling and pleasant sensation during application. Evaluation of analyses results showed that clay deposits in Hancili and K&uuml / &ccedil / &uuml / khacibey localities in &Ccedil / ankiri can be considered being suitable for pelotherapic applications. On the other hand, clay deposits in Kazbekir locality in &Ccedil / ankiri and in all three localities in Afyonkarahisar cannot be considered being suitable for pelotherapic purposes.
