“…A 3.3% prevalence of neuropathic pain was reported in a study from Austria, in which the majority of subjects identified non-traumatic etiologies as the cause of the pain. 38 The exact prevalence of traumatic nerve injuries is difficult to determine. [39][40][41] Midha reported that 4,538 trauma patients were seen from January 1986 to December 1994 at a level 1 trauma centre in Ontario, Canada, including 60 patients with brachial plexus injuries.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this review was to present an analysis of the literature of the outcome studies reported in patients following traumatic upperextremity (UE) nerve injuries (excluding amputation), to assess the presence of an association between neuropathic pain and outcome in patients following traumatic UE nerve injuries, and to provide recommendations for inclusion of more comprehensive outcome measures by clinicians who treat these patients. Summary of Key Points: A Medline and CINAHL literature search retrieved 48 articles. This review identified very few studies of patients with peripheral nerve injury that reported neuropathic pain. When pain was reported, visual analogue or numeric rating scales were most frequently used; standardized questionnaires measuring pain or psychosocial function were rarely administered. Recent evidence shows substantial long-term disability and pain in patients following peripheral nerve injury. Recommendation: To better understand neuropathic pain in patients following peripheral nerve injury, future outcome studies should include valid, reliable measures of physical impairment, pain, disability, health-related quality of life, and psychosocial functioning.Key Words: literature review, nerve injury, neuropathic pain, outcome Novak CB, Katz J.

“…Chronic pain because of several factors, as a widespread problem, has been estimated to affect 19% of the European population [1,2]. Within this population, neuropathic pain (NP) is of particular interest because they have a greater comorbidity profile than age-and sex-matched controls.…”

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the quality of sleep (QoS) in patients with neuropathic pain (NP) and to investigate the association between possible QoS impairment and NP characteristics. Materials and Methods:Patients with NP and controls were examined. Age, sex, NP duration, NP cause (central, peripheral, or mixed), and pain intensity (with a Likert-type scale and visual analog scale) were recorded. NP was screened with Douleur Neuropathique 4 questions (DN4), and QoS was evaluated using the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Mann-Whitney U test and regression analysis were performed to evaluate the data.Results: Seventy patients with NP and 30 age-and sex-matched controls were included. The mean age of the patients and controls were 45.04±10.21 years and 39.00±19.23 years, respectively. Significantly higher scores of sleep latency (p=0.002), sleep duration (p=0.003), sleep efficiency (p=0.002), sleep disturbance (p<0.000), daytime dysfunction (p=0.04), and PSQI total were observed in patients with NP than in controls (p<0.000). In addition, 80% of patients with NP and 37 % of controls were classified as having poor QoS (p<0.000). Female sex, pain intensity, and NP duration were found to be factors related to having poor QoS in patients with NP (p=0.026, p=0.006, and p<0.000, respectively). Conclusion:In our study, 80% of patients with NP had poor QoS regardless of the NP cause. Female sex, pain severity, and NP duration were found to be factors correlated with poor QoS. Treatment strategies that target not only NP itself but also better QoS may contribute to the overall success of management.Keywords: Neuropathic pain, quality of sleep, pain ÖZ Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı nöropatik ağrı (NA) tanısı alan hastalarda uyku kalitesini değerlendirmek uyku kalitesindeki bozulma ile NA'nın özellikleri arasındaki olası ilişkileri incelemekti.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya NA'lı hastalar ve sağlıklı kontroller dahil edildi. Yaş, cinsiyet, NA süresi, NA nedeni (santral, periferik veya mikst) ve ağrı yoğunluğu (görsel analof skala ve Likert tipi skala ile) kaydedildi. NA (Douleur Neuropathique4 (DN4) anketi ile, uyku kalitesi ise Pittsburg uyku kalitesi indeksi (PUKİ) ile değerlendirildi. Mann-Whitney U testi ve regresyon analizi uygulandı. Bulgular: Bu çalışmaya NA'lı 70 hasta (54 kadın, 16 erkek) ile yaş ve cinsiyet olarak benzer 30 kontrol dahil edildi. Hastaların ve kontrollerin ortalama yaşları sırasıyla 45,04±10,21 ve 39,00±19,23 yıl idi. Hastalarda semptom süresi 24,8±18,2 olarak kaydedildi. NA'lı hastalarda sağlıklılara göre PUKİ bileşenlerinden uykuya geç geçiş (p=0,002), uyku süresi (p=0,003), uyku etkinliği (p=0,002), uyku disturbansı (p<0,000), gündüz disfonksiyonu (p=0,04) ve total PUKİ skoru (p<0,000) anlamlı şekilde daha yüksek tespit edildi. Ayrıca NA'lı hastaların %80'inin ve kontrollerin %37' sinin kötü uyku kalitesine sahip oldukları kaydedildi (p<,000). NA'lı hastalarda kadın cinsiyet, ağrı yoğunluğu ve semptom süresi kötü uyku kalitesi ile ilişkili faktörler olarak tespit edildi (p=0,026, p=...

Hal ini tentu saja berdampak pada kualitas kesehatan pasien yang berdampak pada rendahnya kualitas hidup pasien dengan nyeri kronis (Gustorff, Dorner, Likar, Grisold, Lawrence, Schwarz, & Rieder, 2008;Otto, Bach, Jensen, & Sindrup, 2007;Vasudevan, 2004).…”

Abstract. The purpose of this research was to know the difference Quality Of Life (QOL) among chronic pain patient with various method of pain management that is pharmacology, pharmacology and physiotherapy, physiotherapy and multidisciplinary chronic pain management program (Potensi). We used several questionnaire, such as disability, pain intensity, PSEQ, PRSS, WHOQOL-BREF, PDM, DASS administered in 77 patients with chronic pain. The results of this study showed that there are significant differences in QOL between patients with chronic pain in the four methods of pain management. The results of the study revealed that the QOL in the pain group with Potensi method is better than the other three methods. In addition, there were significant differences in the QOL of chronic pain-related pain patients in general and the dimensions of pain relief. It can be concluded that the method of pain management is effective in dealing with patients with chronic pain that is by Potential method.
