ABSTRACT

El dolor crónico asociado a heridas de larga evolución en miembros inferiores constituye una situación de conflicto con características angustiantes que compromete seriamente la calidad de vida e interfiere en el proceso de reparación tisular, estableciendo un cuadro propio en el cual la herida se transforma en un componente más de esta compleja condición y no el motivo en sí de la consulta. Dadas las limitaciones y efectos negativos de las terapias usuales para el alivio del dolor crónico en heridas, se establece una apertura a nuevas propuestas adyuvantes. Motivo de ello es el propósito del presente trabajo, a través del uso de sevoflurano tópico para evaluar el incremento de la analgesia en una población con úlceras en miembro inferior de diverso origen etiológico.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: evaluar la efectividad de la auriculoterapia para reducir el dolor musculoesquelético crónico de la columna vertebral de los trabajadores de la salud. Método: ensayo clínico aleatorizado, triple ciego, realizado con trabajadores de la salud diagnosticados con dolor crónico en la columna vertebral. Se aplicaron ocho sesiones de auriculoterapia con semillas, dos por semana. Los resultados fueron medidos con la Escala Numérica del Dolor, el Inventario Breve del Dolor, el Cuestionario de Discapacidad de Roland-Morris y los instrumentos SF-36, en la 1.ª, 4.ª, 8.ª sesión y follow-up a los 15 días. Análisis descriptivo e inferencial. Resultados: participaron 34 trabajadores del grupo intervención y 33 del grupo control, ambos mostraron una reducción en la intensidad del dolor (p>0,05). En el follow-up se registró una mayor reducción en el grupo intervención (3,32 ± 0,42) que en el grupo control (5,00 ± 0,43) (p=0,007). En cuanto a la calidad de vida, mejoró la vitalidad (p=0,012) y la limitación por aspectos emocionales (p=0,025). La relación entre auriculoterapia, discapacidad física e interferencia del dolor no difirió entre los grupos (p>0,05). El uso de medicamentos en el follow-up se mantuvo en el grupo control (77,8%) con respecto al grupo intervención (22,2%) (p=0,013). Conclusión: la auriculoterapia tuvo el mismo efecto en ambos grupos sobre la intensidad del dolor y duró más en el follow-up. Hubo una mejora en la calidad de vida y una reducción en el consumo de medicamentos. REBEC: RBR-3jvmdn.


Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of auriculotherapy in reducing chronic musculoskeletal pain in the spine of health workers. Method: a randomized, triple-blind clinical trial conducted with health workers diagnosed with chronic spinal pain. Eight sessions of auriculotherapy with seeds were applied, two per week. The outcomes were measured with the Numerical Pain Scale, Brief Pain Inventory, Rolland-Morris Disability Questionnaire and SF-36 instruments, in the 1st, 4th and 8th session, and in the 15-day follow-up period. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed. Results: 34 workers took part in the Intervention Group and 33 in the Control Group, and both presented reduced pain intensity (p>0.05). In the follow-up period, there was a greater reduction in the Intervention Group (3.32 ± 0.42), when compared to the Control Group (5.00 ± 0.43) (p=0.007). In quality of life, there was improved vitality (p=0.012) and limitation due to emotional aspects (p=0.025). The relationship between auriculotherapy, physical disability and pain interference did not differ between the groups (p>0.05). Medication use in the follow-up period remained unchanged in the Control Group (77.8%) when compared to the Intervention Group (22.2%) (p=0.013). Conclusion: auriculotherapy exerted the same effect between the groups on pain intensity, lasting longer in the follow-up period. There was an improvement in quality of life and a reduction in medication use. REBEC: RBR-3jvmdn.

ABSTRACT

O projeto de pesquisa-intervenção As narrativas ficcionais e o cuidado à dor crônica atuou no Setor de Dor e Cuidados Paliativos de um hospital público, oferecendo-se como coadjuvante do cuidado em saúde. O Ateliê Jardim de Histórias foi um de seus dispositivos e propôs o bordado inventado como linhas de sustentação para um fazer compartilhado. No contexto latinoamericano, o bordar remete à transmissão transgeracional e a práticas políticas e processos de luta e luto no laço social. Este artigo propõe recuperar a história do bordado para além da perspectiva colonial e, a partir disso, a-bordar essa experiência da pesquisa-intervenção no hospital e suas possibilidades. Entende-se que o bordado inventado ressalta a dimensão de improviso e de criatividade dessa prática enquanto um suporte afetivo para a tessitura de narrativas, a partir da disposição de estar com o outro em torno de um fazer sem prescrições. (AU)


The research-intervention project Fictional narratives and chronic pain careacted in the Sector of Pain and Palliative Care of a public hospital, offering an adjunct to health care. The Garden of Stories Atelierwas one of its devices, which proposed the invented embroidery as threads of support for a shared work. In Latin America, embroidery refers to transgenerational transmission, and to political practices and processes of struggle and mourning in the social bond. This article aims to retrieve the history of embroidery beyond the colonial perspective and, from there, to approach this experience of research-intervention in the hospital and its possibilities. The invented embroidery is thought to emphasize the dimension of improvisation and creativity of this practice, as an affective support for the weaving of narratives, from the willingness to be together around an activity without prescriptions.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: los cannabinoides pueden ser una opción válida para el tratamiento del dolor crónico no oncológico de acuerdo a los estudios publicados hasta el momento y a nuestra experiencia clínica. Objetivo: valorar el beneficio clínico de preparados de cannabis medicinal (CM) para dolor crónico no oncológico en pacientes que consultaron en la Clínica de Endocannabinología del Uruguay (CEDU). Material y método: estudio descriptivo, observacional, longitudinal, de una población atendida en un centro privado de salud. Se trata de una cohorte de 438 pacientes que consultaron espontáneamente en CEDU desde septiembre de 2016 a marzo de 2020. El motivo de consulta fue dolor crónico no oncológico que no respondió al tratamiento estándar. Resultados: en la cohorte estudiada predominaron las mujeres (74%), promedio 69 años, que se asisten en el sistema privado de salud en el 95% de los casos, en su mayoría con instrucción secundaria. El tipo de dolor más frecuente fue el dolor osteoarticular. El quimiotipo de CM más usado fue cannabidiol (CBD) al 5%, con buena respuesta al tratamiento en el descenso del nivel del dolor y suspensión o disminución de uso de opioides (y derivados) y antiinflamatorios no esteroideos (AINES). Se observaron escasos y leves efectos adversos (EA) en la gran mayoría de los pacientes. Abandonaron el tratamiento 12 pacientes (menos del 3%). Conclusiones: esta investigación retrospectiva mostró una caída del nivel del dolor de 3,14 (valor p ≤ 0,0001), indicando que el CM puede ser una opción para el tratamiento del dolor crónico no oncológico. Se requieren más estudios para demostrar la efectividad y seguridad de los cannabinoides. Esto depende de muchos factores (leyes que faciliten la accesibilidad a variedad de productos de CM de grado médico, incentivos a la ciencia e investigación). De todas formas, podemos afirmar que los resultados presentados son prometedores en relación con su potencial terapéutico.


Introduction: Cannabinoids can be a valid option for the treatment of chronic non-cancer pain, according to the studies published to date and our clinical experience. Objectives: To evaluate the clinical benefit of medicinal cannabis preparations (MCPs) for chronic non-cancer pain in patients seen at the Endocannabinology Clinic of Uruguay (CEDU). Method: Descriptive, observational, longitudinal study of a population treated at a private healthcare center. This involves a cohort of 438 patients who spontaneously consulted at CEDU from September 2016 to March 2020. The reason for consultation was chronic non-cancer pain that did not respond to standard treatment. Results: in the studied cohort, women prevailed and accounted for 74% of patients. Average age was 69 years old and 95% of them sought care within the private healthcare system. Most women had completed secondary school education. The most frequent type of pain was osteoarticular pain. The most used chemovar of Medicinal Cannabis (MC) was 5% cannabidiol (CBD), showing a favorable treatment response in reducing pain levels and the discontinuation or reduction of opioid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) usage. Few and mild adverse effects (AE) were observed in the vast majority of patients. Twelve patients (less than 3%) discontinued the treatment. Conclusions: This retrospective study demonstrated a reduction in pain level of 3.14 (p-value ≤ 0.0001) indicating that MC could be an option for the treatment of non-oncological chronic pain. Further studies are needed to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of cannabinoids. This depends on many factors (laws facilitating accessibility to a variety of medical-grade MC products, incentives for science and research). Nevertheless, we can assert that the presented results are promising in consideration of their therapeutic potential.

Esta é uma coorte de 438 pacientes que consultaram espontaneamente no CEDU no período setembro de 2016 - março de 2020. O motivo da consulta foi dor crônica não oncológica que não respondeu ao tratamento padrão. Resultados: na coorte estudada, 74% eram mulheres, a idade média foi 69 anos, 95% frequentam a rede privada de saúde e a maioria com ensino médio. O tipo de dor mais frequente foi a osteoarticular. O quimiotipo de MC mais utilizado foi o Canabidiol 5% (CBD), com boa resposta ao tratamento em termos de redução do nível de dor e suspensão ou redução do uso de opioides (e derivados) e anti-inflamatórios não esteroides (AINEs). A grande maioria dos pacientes apresentou poucos e leves efeitos adversos (EAs). Menos de 3% dos 12 pacientes abandonou o tratamento. Conclusões: Esta investigação retrospectiva mostrou uma queda no nível de dor de 3,14 (valor de p ≤ 0,0001), indicando que o MC pode ser uma opção para o tratamento da dor crônica não oncológica. São necessários mais estudos para demonstrar a eficácia e segurança dos canabinoides. Isso depende de muitos fatores (leis que facilitem o acesso a uma variedade de produtos CM de grau médico, incentivos para ciência e pesquisa). De qualquer forma, podemos afirmar que os resultados apresentados são promissores em relação ao seu potencial terapêutico.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective Hip osteoarthritis (HO) causes pain and deranges functioning. Surgical treatment is the preferred approach in severe cases, but clinical comorbidities, age and the long waiting list may compromise quality of life. This study aimed to describe the results of acupuncture for the control pain and improvement of functioning in subjects with HO. Method Twelve severe HO patients were treated with ten weekly sessions of a standardized acupuncture point protocol. Pain intensity was assessed with the Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS) and quality of life with WOMAC Index. Results Pain intensity (VAS) reduced from 75.8 ± 18.8 mm to 20.0 ± 22.6 mm after 10 acupuncture sessions and 48.3 ± 26.6mm in the follow-up (ANOVA F = 7.99; p < 0.001). WOMAC Index values reduced from 74.7 ± 12.7 to 45.7 ± 22.1 and 54.6 ± 22.9 at the same timepoints. Conclusion Acupuncture is an effective conservative rehabilitation strategy to reduce pain and improve quality of life in subjects with severe HO.

ABSTRACT

A Cannabis sativa é uma planta que apresenta vários benefícios terapêuticos para animais, como tratamento da dor neuropática, inflamatória e osteoartrose. A dor é bastante recorrente na rotina clínica, sendo importante seu manejo para que seja ofertada uma melhor qualidade e conforto de vida para o paciente. O estudo objetivou identificar, a partir de evidências científicas, as características da utilização medicinal do uso de Cannabis Sativa no tratamento da dor crônica no cão, utilizando um dos seus princípios ativos, canabidiol (CBD). Foi feito uma revisão bibliográfica onde foi realizada a busca de estudos experimentais e relatos de caso em bases de dados eletrônicos, sendo incluídas fontes contendo a utilização do CBD em animais, que abordaram controle da dor, assim como escore avaliativo da dor antes, durante e após o tratamento proposto. Após eleger e analisar 54 estudos percebe-se que na medicina veterinária o uso do canabidio é insuficiente, uma vez que o foco da maior parte dos estudos clínicos é voltado para medicina humana. Ainda assim, a utilização de CBD mostrou-se eficaz, confirmando uma nova alternativa para o controle da dor em animais.(AU)


Cannabis sativa is a plant that has several therapeutic benefits for animals, such as the treatment of neuropathic and inflammatory pain and osteoarthritis. Pain is quite recurrent in the clinical routine, and its management is important to offer a better quality and comfort of life for the patient. The study aimed to identify, based on scientific evidence, the characteristics of the medicinal use of Cannabis Sativa in the treatment of chronic pain in dogs, using one of its active principles, cannabidiol (CBD). A bibliographical review was carried out in which experimental studies and case reports were searched in electronic databases, including sources containing the use of CBD in animals, which addressed pain control, as well as pain assessment score before, during and after the proposed treatment. After choosing and analyzing 54 studies, it is clear that in veterinary medicine the use of CBD is few, and the focus of clinical studies is on human medicine. The use of CBD proved to be effective, thus confirming a new alternative for pain control in animals.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Chronic pain relief remains an unmet medical need. Current research points to a substantial contribution of glia-neuron interaction in its pathogenesis. Particularly, microglia play a crucial role in the development of chronic pain. To better understand the microglial contribution to chronic pain, specific regional and temporal manipulations of microglia are necessary. Recently, two new approaches have emerged that meet these demands. Chemogenetic tools allow the expression of designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs) specifically in microglia. Similarly, optogenetic tools allow for microglial manipulation via the activation of artificially expressed, light-sensitive proteins. Chemo- and optogenetic manipulations of microglia in vivo are powerful in interrogating microglial function in chronic pain. This review summarizes these emerging tools in studying the role of microglia in chronic pain and highlights their potential applications in microglia-related neurological disorders.

ABSTRACT

La neuromodulación es una práctica médica implementada desde hace más de cuatro décadas. En lo que respecta a la Neurocirugía, cumple un papel en el tratamiento de diversas patologías (Parkinson, distonías, epilepsia, etc.) y con un gran potencial para aplicarlas en otras (trastorno obsesivo compulsivo [TOC], dolor pélvico). Es por ello que, en los últimos años, se cuadruplicaron las inversiones de empresas biotecnológicas en este campo por la demanda y aplicación de la terapia. La neuromodulación abarca también otras especialidades, como por ejemplo Otorrinolaringología (ORL) en implantes cocleares, Cardiología con diversos modelos de marcapasos cardíacos, Endocrinología con bombas de infusión de medicamentos, Uroginecología en incontinencia, etcétera. Nuestra institución aplica en su práctica clínica todas estas técnicas, y cumple una función jerárquica como centro de referencia en educación y políticas sanitarias. Por estos aspectos, sumados a su infraestructura, personal profesional y enfoque sanitario, puede ser considerada como un Centro de Neuromodulación referente en la región. (AU)


Neuromodulation is a medical practice established for more than forty years. In the neurosurgical field it plays a role in the treatment of different diseases (Parkinson, Dystonia, Epilepsy, etc) and has a great potential to apply in other pathologies (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Pelvic pain). In the last years the biotechnological industry has quadrupled the investment in this field because of the demand and therapy application. Neuromodulation encompasses other specialities, for example otorhinolaryngology in cochlear implants, in cardiology with different models of pacemakers, endocrinology with implanted infusion pumps, urological gynecology in incontinence treatments, etc. Our institution applies all these techniques in its clinical practice, having a hierarchical role as a reference center in education and health policies. Due to these aspects, added to its infrastructure, professional staff and health approach, it can be considered as a reference Neuromodulation Center in the region. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction Chronic pain is defined as a pain lasting more than 3-6 months. It is estimated that 25% of the pediatric population may experience some kind of pain in this context. Adolescence, corresponding to a particular period of development, seems to present the ideal territory for the appearance of maladaptive mechanisms that can trigger episodes of persistent or recurrent pain. Methods A narrative review, in the PubMed/Medline database, in order to synthetize the available evidence in the approach to chronic pain in adolescents, highlighting its etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Results Pain is seen as a result from the interaction of biological, psychological, individual, social, and environmental factors. Headache, abdominal pain, and musculoskeletal pain are frequent causes of chronic pain in adolescents. Pain not only has implications on adolescents, but also on family, society, and how they interact. It has implications on daily activities, physical capacity, school performance, and sleep, and is associated with psychiatric comorbidities, such as anxiety and depression. The therapeutic approach of pain must be multimodal and multidisciplinary, involving adolescents, their families, and environment, using pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies. Discussion and conclusion The acknowledgment, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic pain in adolescent patients seem not to be ideal. The development of evidence-based forms of treatment, and the training of health professionals at all levels of care are essential for the diagnosis, treatment, and early referral of these patients.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#Beginning with the concepts of stress developed by Selye, an approach to stress and pain management, known as neuro-emotional technique (NET), has been developed. It is a treatment approach based on the principle that the stressor effects of dormant and/or current unresolved issues or trauma are what determine one's bodily responses. These responses are relatively personalized to the conditioned, experiential and emotional reality of the individual.@*OBJECTIVE@#To determine the effect of NET on patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) over time.@*DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, AND INTERVENTIONS@#In a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study conducted in a single clinic, NET or control treatments were given twice weekly for 4 weeks in a population of 112 patients.@*MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES@#Outcome measures, including Oswestry Disability Index, Quadruple Visual Analogue Scale, the psychoneuroimmunology markers of blood serum levels of C-reactive protein, tumour necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, and IL-10, and 10 dimensions of the Short Form Health Survey scale, were assessed at baseline and at 1, 3 and 6 months following the intervention period.@*RESULTS@#Compared to placebo, NET produced clinical and statistical significance (P < 0.001) via declines of virtually all physiological, pain and disability markers, accompanied by gains in quality-of-life indicators at 0 (baseline), 1, 3 and 6 months. Reductions of the percentages of patients whose 5 biomarkers lay outside the normative range were achieved at 1, 3 and 6 months by NET but not control interventions.@*CONCLUSION@#A randomized, controlled trial of CLBP patients indicated that 8 NET interventions, compared to placebo, produced clinically and statistically significant reductions in pain, disability and inflammatory biomarkers, and improvements in quality-of-life measures.@*TRIAL REGISTRATION@#The trial was registered with the Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (No. ACTRN12608000002381).

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the main factors affecting the positive results of acupuncture for chronic pain in English literature of randomized controlled trial (RCT), in order to provide reference for the design of acupuncture clinical research.@*METHODS@#The RCTs of acupuncture for chronic pain published before March 26, 2020 were searched in PubMed, EMbase and Cochrane Library by computer. A total of 21 factors were analyzed by single-factor analysis, and the factors with statistically significant difference were selected for multivariate Logistic regression analysis.@*RESULTS@#A total of 69 RCTs were included, including 47 RCTs (68.12%) with positive results and 22 RCTs (31.88%) with non-positive results. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed with the three screened factors (publication year, treatment frequency and intervention form) selected by single-factor analysis, and the results showed that the positive results were related to the frequency of acupuncture treatment. The positive rate of RCT with frequency≥2 times a week was 3.24 times of that with frequency<2 times a week (OR=3.24, 95%CI =[1.07,9.83], P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Acupuncture frequency may be the main factor affecting the positive results of RCT in English literature of acupuncture for chronic pain. More researches are needed in the future to explore the influence of acupuncture frequency on the curative effect.

ABSTRACT

La osteoporosis es una enfermedad sistémica que deteriora la calidad del hueso y su arquitectura. Como consecuencia, predispone a fracturas por fragilidad, entre las cuales las fracturas vertebrales son frecuentes. Estas se asocian a una gran morbimortalidad. La vertebroplastia ha surgido en 1984 como alter-nativa terapéutica para tratar algunos tumores vertebrales y fracturas vertebrales osteoporóticas dolorosas. Este procedimiento consiste en la inyección de cemento guiado por imágenes, para estabilizar la vértebra fracturada y disminuir el dolor. La vertebroplastia puede ser realizada con anestesia local, sedación o anestesia general. La fuga de cemento fuera de la vértebra es una complicación común; sin embargo esto no suele tener traducción clínica y solamente se trata de un hallazgo imagenológico. En este artículo revisaremos las indicaciones, contraindicaciones, la eficacia, controversias y las complicaciones de la vertebroplastia percutánea. (AU)


Osteoporosis is a systemic disease characterized by bone quality deterioration. As a consequence of this deterioration, osteoporosis results in high fracture risk due to bone fragility. Fractures to the spine are common in this scenario, and relate to an increased morbi-mortality. Vertebroplasty emerged in 1984 as an alternative to treat painful vertebral tumors and osteoporotic vertebral fractures. This procedure relies on image guided cement injection to achieve pain relief and strengthen the vertebral body. Vertebroplasty can be performed under local anesthesia, mild sedation, or general anesthesia. Among its complications, cement leakage is common but it is rarely associated with any symptoms and it is usually an imaging finding. In this article, we will review indications and contraindications, effectiveness, controversies and complications related to percutaneous vertebroplasty. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción. Desde hace varios años, el abordaje de los pacientes adultos mayores que consultan por dolor crónico en un centro periférico del Hospital Italiano del conurbano bonaerense se realiza de manera integral, mediante la evaluación conjunta de una kinesióloga y un médico de familia, lo que facilita la indicación terapéutica individualizada, con la aplicación de estrategias cognitivo-conductuales. Objetivo. Documentar los resultados clínicos luego de una evaluación integral de pacientes mayores de 60 años que consultaron por dolor crónico de columna refractarios a tratamientos monodisciplinarios. Métodos. Estudio observacional, analítico tipo antes-después, prospectivo. Recolectamos variables descriptivas de los participantes al momento de la evaluación integral (demográficas, antropométricas, contextuales y clínicas) y de desenlace: dolor, calidad de vida y actividad física a los tres y seis meses, consultas no programadas y a servicio de traumatología durante ese periodo. Estimamos necesaria una muestra de 30 pacientes, pero debido a la pandemia por SARS-CoV-2finalizamos precozmente el estudio con los pacientes reclutados hasta ese momento. Resultados. Incluimos nueve participantes (edad media 66,5 años, desviación estándar 4,9; 67 % sexo femenino). Todos completaron el seguimiento a seis meses. Observamos reducción del dolor y mejoría de la calidad de vida a los seis meses (cambio en la escala visual analógica [EVA] -3, intervalo de confianza [IC] 95 % -5,1 a -0,94; cambio en el puntaje del EQ-5D-3L 0,17, IC 95 % 0,08 a 0,26, respectivamente). Conclusión. En los pacientes adultos mayores de 60 años con dolor crónico de columna no oncológico evaluados de manera integral por un médico de familia y un kinesiólogo se observó una mejoría del dolor y la calidad de vida a los seis meses de seguimiento. Debido a que el diseño no incluyó un grupo control estas diferencias no pueden atribuirse de manera fehaciente a la intervención, aunque estos hallazgos son concordantes con los de ensayos previos. (AU)


Introduction. For several years, the approach of elderly patients who consult for chronic pain in a peripheral center ofthe Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires has been carried out in a comprehensive way, through the joint evaluation of akinesiologist and a family doctor, which facilitates individualized therapeutic indication, with the application of cognitive-behavioral strategies.Objective. To document the clinical results after the comprehensive evaluation of patients over 60 years of age whoconsulted for chronic back pain refractory to monodisciplinary treatments. Methods. Observational, analytical, before-after, prospective study. We collected descriptive variables from the participantsat the time of the comprehensive evaluation (demographic, anthropometric, contextual and clinical) and outcome variables:pain, quality of life and physical activity at three and six months, unscheduled consultations and trauma service during thatperiod. We estimate that a sample of 30 patients is necessary, but due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic we ended the studyearly with the patients recruited up to that time. Results. We included nine participants (mean age 66.5 years, standard deviation 4.9; 67 % female). All completed the six-month follow-up. We observed reduction in pain and improvement in quality of life at six months (change in visual analogscale [VAS] -3, 95 % confidence interval [CI] -5.1 to -0.94; change in score of the EQ-5D-3L 0.17, 95 % CI 0.08 to 0.26,respectively). Conclusion. In adult patients over 60 years of age with chronic non-cancer back pain who were comprehensively evaluatedby a family doctor and a kinesiologist, an improvement in pain and quality of life was observed at six months of follow-up. Since the design did not include a control group, these differences cannot be reliably attributed to the intervention, althoughthese findings are consistent with those of previous trials. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Um dos grandes desafios da Dor Crônica é o impacto negativo sobre os aspectos físicos e emocionais do indivíduo, frequentemente associado com depressão, ansiedade e incapacidade física. Terapias baseadas em práticas meditativas vem sendo estudadas e possuem resultados promissores no controle da dor crônica. Os objetivos deste estudo são verificar na literatura se as Intervenções Baseadas em Mindfulness (IBM`s) apresentam eficácia no tratamento da dor crônica e destacar quais ferramentas podem ser utilizadas na prática clínica. Com a introdução do Mindfulness na medicina, criaram-se intervenções baseadas nesta prática para que pudessem ser aplicadas na clínica. Com isso, diversos estudos nos últimos 20 anos foram desenvolvidos com o objetivo de avaliar alterações morfológicas no cérebro de pacientes após a prática de IBM`s. As evidências indicam que ser mais "mindful" é uma tendência natural ou um resultado de uma prática profunda. A efetividade das IBM`s na dor crônica depende da prática intensa ou da personalidade do paciente. Apesar de ainda não haver um consenso sobre as práticas baseadas em Mindfulness, atualmente existem evidências moderadas de que podem ser utilizadas como uma terapia complementar ao tratamento convencional em pacientes portadores de dores crônicas.


One of the major challenges of Chronic Pain is the physical and emotional negative impact of the individual, often associated with depression, anxiety and physical disability. Therapies based on meditative practices have been studied and have promising results in the control of chronic pain. The aims of this study were to verify in the literature whether Mindfulness Based Interventions (MBI`s) are effective in treating chronic pain and which tools can be used in the clinical practice. With the introduction of Mindfulness in medicine, interventions based on this practice were created so that they could be applied in the clinic. Thus, several studies over the last 20 years have been developed to evaluate morphological changes in the brain of patients after the practice of MBI`s. Evidence indicates that being more "mindful" is a natural tendency or a result of deep practice. The effectiveness of IBM's in chronic pain depends on the patient's intense practice or personality. Although there is still no consensus on Mindfulness-based practices, there is currently moderate evidence that they can be used as a complementary therapy to conventional treatment in patients with chronic pain.
