Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Low back pain is a non-motor symptom commonly reported by individuals with Parkinson's disease. The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of low back pain and its characteristics in individuals with Parkinson disease from a specialized treatment center.

METHODS: Individuals with idiopathic Parkinson's disease answered a questionnaire for the assessment of clinical parameters and associated pain symptoms. Pain intensity was assessed using the visual analog scale.

RESULTS: One hundred and twenty-three patients with mean age 68.1±11.8 years, and disease duration of 7.0±4.9 years, answered the questionnaire. Pain was reported by 102 (82.9%) patients: 71 (57.7%) had low back pain and 31 (25.2%) had pain in other body segments. There was no difference in age, education, time of Parkinson's disease symptoms and diagnosis when comparing individuals with and without pain, as well as individuals with pain in other segments and low back pain. The group with low back pain had pain in a greater number of body segments in addition to the lumbar region, with longer duration of this symptom and more frequent use of analgesic drugs. In the low back pain group, women had greater pain intensity.

CONCLUSION: The results show the high prevalence of pain in individuals with Parkinson's disease, specifically low back pain.

Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A dor lombar é um sintoma não motor comumente relatado por indivíduos com doença de Parkinson. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar a prevalência de dor lombar e suas características em indivíduos com doença de Parkinson em um centro de tratamento especializado.

MÉTODOS: Indivíduos com doença de Parkinson idiopática responderam a um questionário para a avaliação de parâmetros clínicos e sintomas de dor associados. A intensidade da dor foi avaliada utilizando a escala analógica visual.

RESULTADOS: Cento e vinte e três pacientes com idade média de 68,1±11,8 anos e duração média da doença de 7,0±4,9 anos responderam o questionário. A dor foi relatada por 102 (82,9%) pacientes: 71 (57,7%) com dor lombar e 31 (25,2%) com dor em outros segmentos corporais. Não houve diferença quanto à idade, escolaridade, tempo de sintomas e de diagnóstico da doença de Parkinson ao comparar os indivíduos com e sem dor, assim como indivíduos com dor em outras regiões e dor lombar. O grupo com dor lombar queixava-se de dor em maior número de segmentos corporais além da região lombar, com maior tempo de duração desse sintoma e uso mais frequente de analgésicos. Dentre os indivíduos do grupo com dor lombar, as mulheres apresentavam maior intensidade da dor.

CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados mostraram alta prevalência da dor em indivíduos com doença de Parkinson, especificamente da dor lombar.
