Abstract

Objetivo: Determinar a confiabilidade intra e interexaminadores das medidas ultrassonográficas do músculo longo do pescoço em mulheres com e sem migrânea. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, avaliando 20 mulheres com idade entre 20 e 24 anos (22 ± 2). Foram realizadas duas avaliações ultrassonográficas da área de secção transversa (cm2) do músculo longo do pescoço, em repouso e em contração com intervalo de uma semana entre elas, por dois examinadores cegos. Para análise estatí­stica, foram utilizados o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (ICC) e os limites de concordância. Resultados: A confiabilidade intraexaminador do grupo com migrânea, em repouso e contração, foi excelente í  direita e moderada í  esquerda; no grupo sem migrânea variou de excelente (0,93) no repouso, í  pobre (0,35) na contração. A confiabilidade interexaminadores foi excelente (ICC > 0,75) í  direita e í  esquerda, no repouso, em ambos os grupos. Na contração, variou de moderada (ICC = 0,71), no lado esquerdo no grupo sem migrânea, í  excelente (ICC > 0,75) nas demais mensurações. Foram observados baixos limites de concordância dos intervalos de confiança em todas as medidas. Conclusão: Foram observados baixos limites de concordância, de acordo com o intervalo de confiança, na confiabilidade das medidas ultrassonográficas do músculo longo do pescoço em mulheres com migrânea.

Palavras-chave: transtornos da enxaqueca, músculos do pescoço, ultrassonografia, reprodutibilidade.
