患有自身免疫性关节炎的患者的鼻膜疼痛风险因素:基于网络的横截面调查
在PubMed上查看摘要
概括
此摘要是机器生成的。在自身免疫性关节炎中, 鼻膜性疼痛与抑郁症,夜间疼痛和更长的疾病持续时间等因素有关. 识别这些风险因素可以改善慢性疼痛的患者管理和治疗策略.
科学领域
- 关节病学
- 治疗疼痛的方法
- 精神病学
背景情况
- 在自身免疫性关节炎中,人们越来越多地发现有强度的疼痛信号,而没有明显的组织损伤.
- 患有自身免疫性关节炎的患者经常出现复杂的慢性疼痛综合征,因此需要确定特定的疼痛机制.
研究的目的
- 在被诊断患有自身免疫性关节炎的患者中确定与鼻膜疼痛相关的临床风险因素.
- 探索中心敏感性,神经病痛组成部分和各种临床因素之间的关系.
主要方法
- 通过社交媒体支持小组招募了185名患有自身免疫性关节炎和慢性疼痛的患者.
- 用于评估疼痛特征的验证问卷,包括中央敏感化清单 (CSI) 和疼痛检测问卷 (PDQ).
- 多变量线性回归分析确定了较高CSI得分的独立预测因素.
主要成果
- 82%的患者在CSI上取得了积极的分数,这表明了显著的中央敏感性.
- 抑郁症,夜间疼痛,频繁使用止痛药,疾病持续时间较长 (> 2 年),慢性疼痛程度较高,情绪较差与CSI得分较高有关.
- 在患者中,PainDetect问卷在检测神经性疼痛方面的可靠性可能会受到损害.
结论
- 夜间疼痛和与疼痛相关的残疾是自身免疫性关节炎中显著的临床风险因素.
- 这些发现强调了在治疗慢性疼痛的自身免疫性关节炎患者时,考虑心理和功能方面的全面疼痛评估的重要性.

Nociception—the ability to feel pain—is essential for an organism’s survival and overall well-being. Noxious stimuli such as piercing pain from a sharp object, heat from an open flame, or contact with corrosive chemicals are first detected by sensory receptors, called nociceptors, located on nerve endings. Nociceptors express ion channels that convert noxious stimuli into electrical signals. When these signals reach the brain via sensory neurons, they are perceived as pain.
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a multidisciplinary field that examines how psychological factors, particularly stress, interact with the immune system and impact physical health. Research in PNI has shown that chronic or traumatic stress can disrupt both the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system. These disruptions contribute to serious health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases.
A key area of focus in PNI is the relationship between stress and coronary...
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...
