Intervención fisioterapéutica paliativa en el paciente oncológico pediátrico.

The palliative physiotherapeutic intervention is designed to improve the quality of life of patients with advanced disease by playing a fundamental role in the control of symptomatology and maximizing functional recovery diseases has been implemented with intervention, evolution, and follow-up for pediatric oncology patients, according to the standards and principles of the World Health Organization. The main objective of this research was to develop a literature review of the efficacy of palliative physiotherapeutic intervention in pediatric cancer patients, with the purpose of obtaining updated evidence to support the significant improvement of their quality of life. The research is based on a documentary review of bibliographic types in Web databases (PubMed, ResearchGate, Elsevier, SJR, ScienceDirect, PEDro, Cochrane Library). The pre-selected articles were initially subjected to a classification and filtering process based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected articles were subjected to a final quality assessment based on the PEDro scale criteria, accepting only those studies with a score higher than 6 on the PEDro Scale. As a result, 35 articles were obtained that studied the relationship of palliative physiotherapeutic intervention in pediatric oncology patients. The analysis of the studies firmly demonstrates the efficiency and benefits of physiotherapeutic intervention in the reduction of symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, pain, dyspnea, loss of mobility and even body composition in pediatric oncology patients. Therefore, this type of intervention indirectly improves the quality of life of these patients and, in turn, increases the professional field of action of physiotherapy. The evidence allows us to conclude that physiotherapy in pediatric oncological palliative care has shown satisfactory results in the mitigation of cardiorespiratory, musculoskeletal and psychological long-term deficiencies that develop during treatment.
