ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Objective:

to evaluate pain in individuals with venous ulcers treated with elastic bandage and decongestant physical therapy.

Methods:

we studied 90 patients, divided into three groups with 30 patients each a group treated with elastic bandage and decongestant physical therapy; a group treated with elastic bandage; and a group treated only with primary dressing according to tissue type and presence of exudate. We used the Pain Numerical Scale to quantify pain intensity and the McGill Pain Questionnaire for pain qualitative assessment.

Results:

in the first evaluation, all patients who participated in the study reported intense pain. In the fifth evaluation, the majority of patients treated with elastic bandaging and decongestant physical therapy did not report pain; the majority of patients in the elastic bandage group reported mild pain; and most patients treated only with primary dressing reported mild to moderate pain. During all five assessments using the McGill questionnaire, most patients in the elastic bandaging and primary dressing groups used descriptors of the sensory, affective, evaluative and miscellaneous groups to describe their pain. However, in the fourth and fifth evaluations, most patients who received decongestant physical therapy combined with elastic bandaging treatment did not use any of the descriptors.

Conclusion:

patients treated with decongestant physical therapy and elastic bandage presented pain improvement from the third evaluation performed on.
RESUMO
RESUMO

Objetivo:

avaliar a dor em indivíduos com úlceras venosas tratadas com bandagem elástica e com terapia física descongestiva.

Métodos:

foram estudados 90 pacientes, divididos em três grupos com 30 pacientes cada grupo tratado com bandagem elástica e terapia física descongestiva; grupo tratado com bandagem elástica; e grupo tratado sem bandagem elástica e com curativo primário conforme o tipo de tecido e exsudato. Utilizou-se a Escala Numérica de Dor para quantificar a intensidade da dor e o Questionário de Dor de McGill para a avaliação qualitativa da dor.

Resultados:

na primei ra avaliação, todos os pacientes que participaram do estudo relataram dor intensa. Na quinta avaliação, a maioria dos pacientes tratados com bandagem elástica e terapia física descongestiva não relatou dor; a maioria dos pacientes do grupo da bandagem elástica relatou dor leve; e a maioria dos pacientes tratados apenas com curativo primário relatou dor leve a moderada. A maioria dos pacientes dos grupos bandagem elástica e curativo primário, nas cinco avaliações realizadas através do questionário de McGill, utilizou descritores dos grupos sensorial, afetivo, avaliativo e miscelânea para descrever a dor. Porém, na quarta e quinta avaliações, a maioria dos pacientes do grupo bandagem elástica e terapia física descongestiva não utilizaram nenhum dos descritores.

Conclusão:

os pacientes tratados com terapia física descongestiva e bandagem elástica apresentaram melhora da dor a partir da terceira avaliação realizada.
