Abstract

Objective: To describe the use of filtration into the joints and soft tissue in the daily work of a Primary Care clinic.

Design: Observational and descriptive study.

Setting: Primary Care.

Participants: Patients between 18 and 75, with pathologies that can be filtrated and who had not previously received treatment.

Measurements and main results: 148 filtrations were analysed, with pain and mobility before and after filtration being evaluated. 85.1% of the patients had intense or moderate pain before filtration, dropping to 5.4% a month afterwards (p < 0.05). 55.4% had limited mobility before filtration and 6.1% a month afterwards (p < 0.05). Complications from the technique were observed in 4 cases, but all were of a light character.

Conclusions: The technique is effective and easy to apply in Primary Care, with scarce and light side-effects.
