Unlabelled:
One of many challenges in the treatment of persons with haemophilia is the selection and application of appropriate pain-relieving therapies. The current situation of pain management for persons with haemophilia in Germany was evaluated using a survey with the intention of identifying potential areas for improvement. Results of 685 respondents showed that 86% experienced episodes of pain and that pain was already present in 66% of children and adolescents. Joint pain was the most common type of pain (92%), remarkably so even in 80% of young patients. Half of the patients received pharmacological therapy for the pain and 46% of the patients received physiotherapy. Priority and sequence of the contacted physicians and therapists for diagnosis and therapy is described. Satisfaction with pain therapy was expressed by 56% of participants and 18% felt their pain not treated sufficiently.
Conclusion:
The results of the survey will be used to develop measures for improvement of long-term care of haemophilia patients regarding pain therapy.
