- Abstract
To evaluate the effects of different amplitude-modulated frequency (AMF-100Hz and AMF-10Hz) of the interferential current (IC) on autonomic nervous system (ANS) in healthy volunteers. Thirty healthy volunteers (23.7 ±2.7 years old) were randomized into placebo interventions (turned off), IC with AMF-100Hz and IC with AMF-10Hz. Interventions ware applied in the paravertebral ganglionar region for 30 minutes. ANS evaluated by the heart rate variability before and immediately after the interventions. 10Hz intervention reduced the sympathetic activity in 6% and an increase in the parasympathetic in 6%. 100Hz intervention increased 12% to sympathetic activity and decreased 12% to parasympathetic activity. IC changes the autonomic balance in healthy volunteers. 10Hz reduces the sympathetic activity and increases parasympathetic, although the 100Hz has opposite results. The IC at 10Hz improves the autonomic balance and presents potential effects to be tested in hypertensive patients.
