Resumen

Introducción: La Terapia Craneosacral (TCS) ha demostrado ser eficaz en el tratamiento de varios trastornos neurológicos que afectan al sistema nervioso central. Sin embargo, se ha reportado en la literatura biomédica los efectos agudos de la TCS en la respuesta vascular y los parámetros hemodinámicos en seres humanos.  Material y Métodos: Estudio experimental en 8 sujetos sanos (4 hombres y 4 mujeres; edad media, 22,5 ± 1,70 años). La intervención consistió en una sesión única de 50 minutos de TCS con la secuencia de 10 pasos de TCS v-2 Upledger Institute. Se realizaron mediciones vasculares mediante pletismografía de alta resolución con transductor de 7 Mhz, antes y después de la intervención con TCS de los parámetros vasculares: distensibilidad arterial (Ca), módulo elástico (Ep), índice beta de rigidez (índice β), diámetro arterial sistólico y diastólico, velocidad del flujo sistólico (Vfs) y diastólico (Vfd), razón sístole/diástole (RSD), índice de resistencia (IR) e índice de pulsatilidad (IP) en la arteria braquial, y monitorización hemodinámica de la frecuencia cardiaca, electrocardiograma y de las presiones arteriales sistólica, diastólica y mediaResultados: Tras la intervención con TCS, se encontraron menores valores de tensión arterial sistólica y media, P<0,01. Asimismo, se encontraron cambios con significancia estadística en los parámetros pletismográficos: diámetro sistólico y Ca luego de la intervención, P<0,01. No se observaron diferencias en la velocidad del flujo, RSD, Ep, índices de resistencia, pulsatibilidad y rigidez  vascular.Conclusión: La fisiología del sistema vascular y la hemodinamía se modifica tras una sesión de  50 minutos de TCS en sujetos sanos.

 

Abstract:

 

Introduction: Craniosacral therapy (CST) has been shown to be effective in treating several neurological conditions affecting the central nervous system. There are no reports in the conventional medical literature the CST interventions on vascular response and hemodynamic parameters in humans. Material and Methods: We conducted an experimental study in 8 healthy subjects (4 men and 4 women; mean age, 22.5 ± 1.70 years) were enrolled. The intervention consisted of a single 50 min session of the 10 step protocol of CST intervention as previously described by Upledger. Were measured before and after in carotid artery (arterial compliance, systolic and diastolic arterial diameter, pressure-strain elasticity modulus, systolic/diastolic ratio, resistance index, and pulsatility index) by an ultrasound with an echo-tracking system and the hemodynamic parameters (blood pressure and heart rate). Results: After intervention with TCS, we found lower values of blood pressure (systolic and mean), P<0.01. Also found statistically significant changes in plethysmographic parameters: systolic diameter and pressure-strain elasticity modulus after intervention, P<0.01. No differences in flow velocity, systolic/diastolic ratio, arterial compliance, resistance index, pulsatility and vascular function. Conclusion: Applying of craniosacral therapy modifies the physiology of the vascular system and hemodynamic parameters in healthy subjects.
