ABSTRACT

Botulinum toxin type A is approved for the focal treatment of spasticity; however, the effectiveness of abobotulinumtoxinA (aboBoNT-A) in patients with shoulder pain who have set reduced pain as a treatment goal is understudied. In addition, some patients encounter delays in accessing treatment programs; therefore, the suitability of aboBoNT-A for pain reduction in this population requires investigation. These factors were assessed in aboBoNT-A-naive Brazilian patients in a post hoc analysis of data from BCause, an observational, multicenter, prospective study (NCT02390206). Patients (N = 49, n = 25 female; mean (standard deviation) age of 60.3 (9.1) years; median (range) time since onset of spasticity of 16.1 (0-193) months) received aboBoNT-A injections to shoulder muscles in one or two treatment cycles (n = 47). Using goal attainment scaling (GAS), most patients achieved their goal of shoulder pain reduction after one treatment cycle (72.1%; 95% confidence interval: 57.2-83.4%). Improvements in GAS T-score from baseline, clinically meaningful reductions in pain score at movement, and clinically meaningful increases in passive shoulder abduction angle further improved with repeated treatment more than 4 months later, despite treatment starting at a median of 16.1 months after the onset of spasticity. These findings support the further investigation of aboBoNT-A injections in chronic post-stroke shoulder pain.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Shear wave elastography technique estimates biological tissue shear elastic modulus (µ[kPa]), which can be used as an objective, muscle-specific indicator of stiffness increase caused by spasticity. We measured both the brachioradialis and biceps brachialis µ in hemiparetic post-stroke patients (n = 11). The spastic arm was compared with the supposedly non-affected contralateral limb and correlated with Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Modified Ashworth Scales. METHODS: Shear elastic modulus was estimated using an Aixplorer V.9 ultrasound device with the elbow at full extension. Average shear elastic modulus t-test, effect sizes, correlation matrix, spider plots and factor analysis were used to check for differences between spastic and nonspastic sides and explore relationships among the variables. FINDINGS: Spastic brachioradialis µ (22.54 ± 11.59 kPa) and biceps brachialis (26.86 ± 12.07 kPa) were significantly greater than the non-spastic counterparts (13.13 ± 2.81 kPa, p = 0.031, ηp2 = 0.3846 for brachioradialis and 15.25 ± 5.00 kPa, p = 0.007, ηp2 = 0.5345 for biceps brachialis). Significant correlations were observed between the spastic brachioradialis and biceps µ and Modified Ashworth Scales, but no correlation with Fugl-Meyer Assessment. INTERPRETATION: Elastography can provide muscle-specific shear elastic modulus estimations of spastic brachioradialis and biceps brachialis, which are distinct from the nonspastic side. In some patients, there was no clear correspondence of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment functional scale with Modified Ashworth Scales and µ, suggesting that spasticity is not the only determinant of arm function. Additionally, shear wave elastography of brachioradialis and biceps brachialis muscles may guide the spasticity treatment, for instance, selecting the preferable candidate for botulinum toxin therapy.

ABSTRACT

Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) is an effective treatment for post-stroke spasticity; however, some patients cannot access treatment until ≥1 year post-stroke. This Brazilian post-marketing study (NCT02390206) assessed the achievement of person-centered goals in patients with chronic post-stroke spasticity after a BoNT-A injection. Patients had a last documented stroke ≥1 year before study entry and post-stroke upper limb (UL) spasticity, with or without lower limb (LL) spasticity. Patients received BoNT-A injections at baseline (visit 1) and visit 2 (3-6 months). Primary endpoint was responder rate (achievement of primary goal from Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS)) at visit 2. Overall, 204 patients underwent GAS evaluation at visit 2, mean (SD) age was 56.4 (13.2) years and 90.7% had LL spasticity. Median (range) time between first stroke and onset of spasticity was 3.6 (0-349) months, onset of spasticity and first injection was 22.7 (0-350) months and waiting time for a rehabilitation appointment was 9.0 (1-96) months. At visit 2, 61.3% (95% CI: 54.4, 67.7) of patients were responders, which was similar for UL and LL primary goals (57.8% [95% CI: 49.9, 65.3] vs. 64.1% [95% CI: 48.4, 77.3]). This study provides evidence to support the effectiveness of BoNT-A treatment for chronic post-stroke spasticity.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Sialorrhea is excessive saliva production and its usual escape of from the oral cavity. The use of botulinum toxin has been preconized, but its effectiveness until now has been unreliably measured. Our objective was to qualitatively and quantitatively determine the effectiveness of botulinum toxin injection in the reduction of saliva production by the parotid gland. STUDY DESIGN: Outcomes research. METHODS: Patients with moderate-to-critical sialorrhea had one of the parotid glands injected with 50 U of botulinum toxin, leaving the other as the control. Fifteen days after the toxin injection, they underwent scintigraphic analyses with intravenous injection of 10 mCi (37 MBq) of Tc-99 m (sodium pertechnetate). After this, the noninjected gland was treated for therapeutic complementation. RESULTS: The glands injected with botulinum toxin showed uptake reduction in 100% of patients. The uptake reduction in counts per second varied from 8% to 36%. The Wilcoxon paired test comparing the control glands with those injected showed a significant difference for the action of botulinum toxin (P = .0039). CONCLUSIONS: The scintigraphic study of parotid glands shows that botulinum toxin is effective in reducing sodium pertechnetate uptake. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 2c Laryngoscope, 129:2521-2526, 2019.

ABSTRACT

Os fisiatras especializados no tratamento de espasticidade foram reunidos para um painel de discussão a respeito do uso de toxina botulínica (TB) na rede pública de diferentes estados do Brasil. Os dados analisados durante a discussão do Datasus demonstram um baixo perfil de demanda desse produto dispensado pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), com uma heterogeneidade na distribuição da TB nos estados brasileiros. Esse quadro parece se configurar principalmente por falta de uma política pública devidamente planejada, como a falta de unificação e normatização dos centros de distribuição, pela falta ou inadequação da remuneração do procedimento de aplicação da TB aos centros de tratamento, de modo padronizado pela tabela SUS e escassez de médicos capacitados para realizá-lo junto à falta de centros de reabilitação multidisciplinar habilitados. O uso de toxina botulínica com finalidade terapêutica no Brasil teve início nos anos 90, para tratamento de distonia e de espasticidade. Atualmente, é empregada em diferentes condições clínicas, porém, apesar da crescente demanda e indicações ao longo dos anos, há poucos relatos ou publicações sobre seu uso e benefício para pacientes atendidos pela Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Para abordar esse tema, em maio de 2015, na cidade de São Paulo, fisiatras de diferentes estados do Brasil se encontraram e discutiram a relevância da toxina botulínica no tratamento de espasticidade


The physiatrists specialized in treating spasticity were brought together for a panel discussion about the use of botulinum toxin (BT) in the public system in different states of Brazil. The data analyzed during the discussion of Datasus demonstrate a low-demand profile of the product dispensed by the Unified Health System (SUS), with heterogeneity in the distribution of TB in the Brazilian states. This scenario seems to be set up mainly for lack of a properly planned public policy, such as lack of unification and standardization of distribution centers, the lack or inadequacy of TB compensation proceeding to treatment centers, in a standardized manner by SUS and shortage of trained doctors to do it together with the lack of qualified multidisciplinary rehabilitation centers. The use of botulinum toxin for therapeutic purposes in Brazil began in the 90s, to treat dystonia and spasticity. It is currently employed in different clinical conditions; however, despite growing demand and indications over the years, there are few reports or publications on its use and benefit to patients served by the Unified Health System (SUS). To address this issue, in May 2015, in São Paulo, physiatrists from different states of Brazil met and discussed the relevance of botulinum toxin in treating spasticity

ABSTRACT

Objetivo O objetivo deste estudo foi estudar o efeito agudo do exercício físico em cicloergômetro adaptado para membros superiores sobre marcadores fisiológicos em obesos mórbidos. Métodos Participaram da pesquisa dez pacientes que realizaram 30 minutos de atividade contínua em um cicloergômetro adaptado para membros superiores. Foram avaliados a pressão arterial sistêmica, a frequência cardíaca, o duplo produto e a saturação de oxigênio. Para análise estatística utilizou-se de análise descritiva. Resultados Os pacientes apresentaram o valor de 52,1 ± 8,3 no Índice de Massa Corporal. A maioria dos avaliados apresentaram uma discreta redução na pressão arterial sistólica (PAS) e diastólica (PAD) após a atividade física, com valores médios pré e pós na PAS de 135,5±11,4 e 133,5±15,3 mmHg, e 83±7,5 e 77±7,1 na PAD. A frequência cardíaca média foi de 68±10,4 bpm antes, 100,6±16,5 bpm durante e 80,7±14,5 bpm após 1 minuto. O Duplo Produto (DP) apresentou aumento médio de 29,6±17,1 % entre os homens e de 10,4±8,9 % entre as mulheres quando comparado com a fase inicial. A saturação de oxigênio não apresentou diferença média antes, durante e após a atividade. Conclusão Conclui-se que o exercício físico em cicloergômetro para membros superiores, realizado de forma aguda em obesos mórbidos não apresenta risco elevado, sendo uma boa intervenção para promoção da saúde.(AU)


Objective The purpose of this study is to research effects of acute exercise with cycle ergometers adapted for the upper limbs on physiological markers in the morbidly obese. Methods Ten morbidly obese patients participated in the study. They were submitted to thirty minutes of continuous activity on a cycle ergometer adapted to the upper limbs. The following physiological markers were evaluated: systemic arterial pressure, heart rate, the double product, and oxygen saturation. For the statistical analysis, descriptive analysis was used. Results Patients showed a Body Mass Index (BMI) value of 52.1 ± 8.3. Most of the subjects showed a slight reduction in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) after physical activity, with SBP before and after physical activity of 135.5±11.4 and 133.5±15.3 mmHg, respectively, and, for DBP, 83±7.5 and 77±7.1 respectively. The average heart rate was 68±10.4 bpm before, 100.6±16.5 bpm during and 80.7±14.5 bpm 1 minute after. The double product (DP) had a mean increase of 29.6±17.1 % in men and 10.4±8.9 % in women when compared with the initial phase. The oxygen saturation showed no mean difference before, during or after activity. Conclusion It can be concluded that acute physical exercise with an upper limbs cycle ergometer in morbidly obese patients does not represent an elevated risk to these patients, being in fact a good intervention to promote health.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Os sistemas usados no Brasil para definir a incapacidade variam de acordo com o setor. A partir de uma recomendação da Presidência da República, uma força-tarefa interministerial foi organizada em janeiro de 2011 para desenvolver um modelo único de avaliação e classificação da incapacidade a ser usado em todo o país. O grupo de trabalho partiu de uma avaliação ampla de informações biodemográficas das pessoas com deficiência no Brasil obtidas a partir de fontes como o censo populacional, censo escolar, relação anual de informações sociais e pesquisa de informações básicas municipais, bem como grupos focais realizados com representantes de vários estados da federação, diferentes deficiências e faixas etárias. Por meio de reuniões mensais num período de 8 meses, foi escolhido o modelo conceitual da Classificação Internacional de Deficiências, Incapacidades e Saúde como base teórica e partir do qual foram selecionadas as 41 atividades e fatores ambientais que deveriam ser contemplados no em cada uma delas. A pontuação de cada atividade foi definida numa escala de 25 a 100, de acordo com o nível de independência. Ajustes para crianças foram realizados comparando o instrumento ao desenvolvimento esperado para cada faixa etária de acordo com a descrição presente em outros instrumentos. Além da avaliação quantitativa do grau de incapacidade, foi desenvolvida uma avaliação qualitativa seguindo a lógica fuzzy, específica para as deficiências visual, motora, auditiva e intelectual. A definição de notas de corte não foi efetuada e exige estudos futuros.


The systems used for disability certification in Brazil vary according to the sectors. By recommendation from the Presidency of the Republic, an interministerial task force was organized in January 2011 to develop a single model evaluation and classification of disability to be used throughout the country. The working group began with a comprehensive review of biodemographic information of people with disabilities in Brazil, obtained from sources such as the national census, school census, annual list of social information and research of municipal basic information, as well as focus groups with representatives various states of the federation, as well as data collected from focus groups performed with different disabilities and age groups. Through monthly meetings over a period of eight months, the conceptual model of the International Classification of Impairments, Disability and Health was have chosen as a theoretical basis and from which the 41 activities were selected and the environmental factors should be assessed in each of them. The score was defined for each activity in a ratio from 25 to 100, depending on the level of independence. Adjustments were made for children comparing the expected development for each age group according to the description found in other instruments. In addition to the quantitative assessment of the degree of disability, another questionnaire was developed following a qualitative fuzzy logic, which were specific for visual, motor, auditory and intellectual impairments. The definition of cutoff scores was not performed and requires further study.

ABSTRACT

A pneumonia é uma inflamação do parênquima pulmonar resultante do processo infeccioso ou inflamatório, responsável por 5% do total das mortes notificadas no mundo, instalando-se geralmente em indivíduos cujos mecanismos de defesa encontram-se comprometidos. A relação estreita entre as alterações da deglutição e a predisposição para pneumonias bacterianas de repetição e sua associação com desordens neuromusculares tem sido objeto constante de pesquisas. Objetivo: propor um protocolo clínico para detecção de broncoaspiração entre pacientes com pneumonia sem realização de videofluoroscopia. Metodologia: 70 pacientes com média de idade de 67,5+16,3 anos, foram submetidos a 2 protocolos de avaliação da deglutição validados na literatura: Tohara (2003) e Xerez (2002). Resultados: Foram considerados aspiradores pelo exame clínico 62,9% (44/70). Ser classificado aspirador pelo exame clínico mostrou correlação estatística significativa com a presença de doença neurológica e redução do estado de alerta (p<0,001). Conclusão: o exame clínico foi capaz de detectar os pacientes em risco para pneumonia aspirativa. A presença da associação de fatores deve levar a equipe a adotar cautela maior no manuseio da alimentação do paciente com pneumonia que pode ser de origem aspirativa.


Pneumonia is a pulmonary parenchyma inflammation that results from an infectious or inflammatory process, responsible for 5% of all deaths reported in the world; it usually affects individuals whose defense mechanisms are compromised. The close association between swallowing abnormalities and the predisposition to repetitive bacterial pneumonia and its association with neuromuscular disorders have been the aim of many studies. Aim: To propose a clinical protocol to detect bronchoaspiration in patients with pneumonia, without videofluoroscopy. Method: 70 patients with mean age of 67.5±16.3 years were submitted to two swallowing evaluation protocols, previously validated in literature: (Tohara (2003) and Xerez (2002)).Results: 62.9% (44/70) of the patients were considered aspirators by the clinical examination, which showed a significant statistical correlation with the presence of neurological disorders and reduction in the state of alertness (p <0.001). Conclusion: The clinical examination was able to detect the patients at risk for aspiration pneumonia. The association of risk factors should lead the healthcare team to exercise more caution when planning the diet of the patient with pneumonia, as it can be the aspiration type.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The pharyngeal phase of swallowing has received more attention than oral phase although they are presumably interdependent. AIMS: 1. to evaluate, through the videofluoroscopic method, the oral phase of swallowing in order to observe the characteristics organization of the liquid bolus in healthy volunteers and the variations of this organization in exams of patient with dysphagia; 2. to establish the functional interrelation between both organization and ejection stages; 3. to verify the presence (or absence) of interference of the oral phase over the pharyngeal phase. CASUISTIC AND METHOD: Videofluoroscopic assessment has been performed in patients with stroke (15), patients with Parkinson disease (15) and in health volunteers (14). All of the studied individuals were submitted to the swallowing videofluoroscopic evaluation following protocol described by Junqueira and Costa. We privileged the incidence in right profile with middle of liquid contrast (solution of barium sulfate). RESULTS: According to the intra-oral organization of the contrasted bolus, we could classify the oral organization as: 1. closed, 2. open, that can be subdivided in open "anterior restricted" and "open expanded", 3. prolonged, and 4. unstable. The ejection can be defined as: 1. appropriate, 2. lentify, and 3. in two times. The correlation among the oral dynamics acted by the organization and pharyngeal phases can be noticed as: 1. appropriate, 2. adapted, and 3. altered. The organization and ejection types as well as the observed correlations are shown with statistics significance. CONCLUSIONS: The closed organization type was the one characterized as normal. The "open expanded", "prolonged" and "unstable" organization type can be associated with alteration in the swallowing process. The "lentify" and "two times" ejection types also point to swallowing physiology alteration. There are functional correlation between organization and oral ejection. The oral organization has influence, not only in the quality of the oral ejection, but also, in the effective dynamics of the pharyngeal phase.

ABSTRACT

RACIONAL: Embora a dinâmica da deglutição ocorra de forma integrada, a fase oral não tem sido tão valorizada quanto a fase faríngea. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar, através do método videofluoroscópico, a fase oral da deglutição, para observar as características da organização do bolo líquido em voluntários sadios e as variações desta organização em exames de pacientes disfágicos. Estabelecer a inter-relação funcional dos estágios de organização e ejeção oral do bolo. Verificar a presença (ou ausência) de interferência do binômio organização/ejeção oral, sobre a fase faríngea da deglutição. CASUíSTICA E MÉTODO: Analisaram-se os exames videofluoroscópicos de 44 indivíduos; destes, 14 eram adultos, voluntários sadios, e 30 disfágicos, sendo 15 pacientes com seqüelas de acidente vascular encefálico e 15 com doença de Parkinson. Todos os indivíduos estudados foram submetidos a avaliação videofluoroscópica da dinâmica da deglutição seguindo protocolo descrito por Junqueira e Costa. Privilegiou-se a incidência em perfil direito com meio de contraste líquido (solução de sulfato de bário). RESULTADOS: Segundo a organização intra-oral do bolo contrastado, pôde-se classificar a organização oral como: fechada, aberta, que pode ser subdividida em anterior e ântero-superior, alongada e instável. A ejeção pode ser definida como: adequada, lentificada e em dois tempos. A correlação entre a dinâmica oral representada pela organização e a dinâmica faríngea pode ser percebida como: adequada, adaptada e alterada. Os diversos tipos de organização e ejeção, assim como as correlações observadas, mostram-se estatisticamente significantes. CONCLUSÕES: A organização do tipo fechada é a que se caracterizou como normal. Organizações aberta ântero-superior, alongada e instável revelam alteração no processo da deglutição. As ejeções dos tipos lentificada e dois tempos também denotam alteração da fisiologia da deglutição. Existe correlação funcional entre os estágios de organização e ejeção oral. A organização oral influiu não só na qualidade da ejeção oral mas também na da dinâmica da fase faríngea.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Correlacionar, em pacientes portadores de acidente vascular encefálico (AVE) na fase subaguda, as alterações clínicas da deglutição com as observadas na videofluoroscopia. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: De 37 portadores de AVE subagudo confirmado por exame de imagem, 26 pacientes de ambos os sexos, com idade média de 59,69 anos, foram avaliados clínica e videofluoroscopicamente. Consideramos como variáveis para pareamento estatístico os parâmetros clínicos indicativos de penetração/aspiração e sua confirmação na videofluoroscopia. RESULTADOS: Identificamos disfagia em 19 (73 por cento) dos 26 pacientes que fizeram videofluoroscopia; dez (38,46 por cento) apresentaram penetração/aspiração de líquidos. Os dados resultantes mostraram não existir correlaçäo (p < 0,05) entre a presença de disfagia e/ou disartria e a presença de penetração/aspiração de líquidos na videofluoroscopia. Houve correlação entre a presença de penetração/aspiração de líquidos observados na videofluoroscopia com os seguintes parâmetros clínicos: estado dos dentes (p = 0,047), mobilidade (p = 0,019) e sensibilidade da face (p = 0,039) e mobilidade da língua (p = 0,012). CONCLUSÃO: Não foi possível definir a presença de penetração/aspiração de líquidos nas vias aéreas por dados epidemiológicos do AVE. A existência de mau estado de preservação dos dentes, alterações na mobilidade da face e da língua e na sensibilidade da face mostrou risco aumentado de penetração/aspiração para líquidos. Permanece importante a indicação da videofluoroscopia para melhor avaliação dos quadros de disfagia após AVE.
