ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To determine the prevalence of Chronic Low Back Pain and predictors of Back Muscle Strength in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Methods: Cross-sectional study. Ninety-six ambulatory patients with lupus were selected by non-probability sampling and interviewed and tested during medical consultation. The outcomes measurements were: Point prevalence of chronic low back pain, Oswestry Disability Index, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, Fatigue Severity Scale and maximal voluntary isometric contractions of handgrip and of the back muscles. Correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression were used in statistical analysis. Results: Of the 96 individuals interviewed, 25 had chronic low back pain, indicating a point prevalence of 26% (92% women). The correlation between the Oswestry Index and maximal voluntary isometric contraction of the back muscles was r = −0.4, 95% CI [−0.68; −0.01] and between the maximal voluntary isometric contraction of handgrip and of the back muscles was r = 0.72, 95% CI [0.51; 0.88]. The regression model presented the highest value of R 2 being observed when maximal voluntary isometric contraction of the back muscles was tested with five independent variables (63%). In this model handgrip strength was the only predictive variable (β = 0.61, p = 0.001). Conclusions: The prevalence of chronic low back pain in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus was 26%. The maximal voluntary isometric contraction of the back muscles was 63% predicted by five variables of interest, however, only the handgrip strength was a statistically significant predictive variable. The maximal voluntary isometric contraction of the back muscles presented a linear relation directly proportional to handgrip and inversely proportional to Oswestry Index i.e. stronger back muscles are associated with lower disability scores.


Resumo Objetivo: Determinar a prevalência de lombalgia crônica (LBC) e os preditores de força muscular nas costas (FMC) em pacientes com lúpus eritematoso sistêmico (LES). Métodos: Estudo transversal. Selecionaram-se 96 pacientes ambulatoriais com LES por amostragem não probabilística, entrevistados e testados durante consultas médicas. As medidas de desfecho foram: prevalência ocasional de LBC, Índice de Incapacidade de Oswestry, Escala Tampa para Cinesiofobia, Escala de Gravidade da Fadiga e contrações isométricas voluntárias máximas (CIVM) de preensão manual e dos músculos das costas. Usaram-se o coeficiente de correlação e a regressão linear múltipla na análise estatística. Resultados: Dos 96 indivíduos entrevistados, 25 apresentavam LBC, o que indicou uma prevalência circunstancial de 26% (92% mulheres). A correlação entre o Índice de Incapacidade de Oswestry e a contração isométrica voluntária máxima dos músculos das costas foi de r = -0,4, IC 95% [-0,68; -0,01] e entre a CIVM de preensão manual e dos músculos das costas foi de r = 0,72, IC 95% [0,51; 0,88]. O modelo de regressão apresentou o maior valor de R2 observado quando a CIVM dos músculos das costas foi testada com cinco variáveis independentes (63%). Nesse modelo, a força de preensão manual foi a única variável preditiva (ß = 0,61, p = 0,001). Conclusões: A prevalência de LBC em indivíduos com LES foi de 26%. A CIVM dos músculos das costas foi 63% prevista por cinco variáveis de interesse. No entanto, apenas a força de preensão manual foi uma variável preditiva estatisticamente significativa. A CIVM dos músculos das costas apresentou uma relação linear diretamente proporcional à força de preensão manual e inversamente proporcional ao Índice de Incapacidade de Oswestry (ou seja, músculos das costas mais fortes estão associados a menores pontuações de incapacidade).

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Background: Fear-avoidance beliefs are related to the prognosis of chronicity in low back pain in subacute stages, however in chronic pain, is no clear the influence of these factors; it has been suggested that the study population can determine the magnitude of influence on disability and pain of those suffering from back pain. Currently, information does not exist in the Mexican population. Objective: To analyze the relationship between fear-avoidance beliefs with pain and disability in Mexicans with chronic low back pain; analyze potentials differences between subgroups according to the time of evolution. Methods: Cross-sectional study in Mexicans with chronic LBP aged between 18 and 45. Data were collected on general socio demographic characteristics, time of evolution, body mass index, pain, disability and fear-avoidance beliefs. Results: 33 men and 47 women, with an average age of 34.19 ± 7.65 years. Higher scores of fear-avoidance beliefs were obtained in women (47.2 ± 20.99 versus 38.5 ± 9.7; p = 0.05) and single participants (p = 0.04). A positive correlation was found between disability (r = 0.603, p < 0.001) and pain (r = 0.234, p = 0.03) with high scores of fear-avoidance beliefs. Through generalized linear models for disability, total score of the fear avoidance beliefs questionnaire showed a standardized beta coefficient of 0.603, p < 0.001 (R 2 of 0.656); for pain showed a standardized beta coefficient of 0.29, p = 0.01 (R 2 of 0.721). Conclusion: The present study suggests that there is a strong relationship between pain severity, FABQ scores, and functional disability in Mexicans with chronic LBP.


RESUMO Introdução: As crenças de medo e evitação estão relacionadas com o prognóstico da cronicidade da lombalgia nas fases subagudas; contudo, na dor crônica, não é clara a influência desses fatores. Sugeriu-se que um estudo populacional pode determinar a magnitude da influência da lombalgia sobre a incapacidade e a dor. Atualmente não há informação a esse respeito na população mexicana. Objetivo: Analisar a relação entre as crenças de medo e evitação com a dor e incapacidade em mexicanos com lombalgia crônica; analisar potenciais diferenças entre subgrupos determinados pelo tempo de evolução. Métodos: Estudo transversal em mexicanos com lombalgia crônica entre 18 e 45 anos. Coletaram-se dados sobre características sociodemográficas gerais, tempo de evolução, índice de massa corporal, dor, incapacidade e crenças de medo e evitação. Resultados: Foram estudados 33 homens e 47 mulheres com média de 34,19 ± 7,65 anos. Obtiveram-se escores de crenças de medo e evitação mais elevados em participantes do sexo feminino (47,2 ± 20,99 versus 38,5 ± 9,7; p = 0,05) e solteiros (p = 0,04). Encontrou-se uma correlação positiva entre a incapacidade (r = 0,603, p < 0,001) e a dor (r = 0,234, p = 0,03), com altas pontuações de crenças de medo e evitação. Por meio de modelos lineares generalizados para incapacidade, a pontuação total no questionário de crenças de medo e evitação mostrou um coeficiente beta padronizado de 0,603, p < 0,001 (R2 de 0,656); para a dor, mostrou um coeficiente beta padronizado de 0,29, p = 0,01 (R2 de 0,721). Conclusão: O presente estudo sugere que há uma forte relação entre a intensidade da dor, os escores no FABQ e a incapacidade funcional em mexicanos com lombalgia crônica.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To identify the prognostic factors for conventional physical therapy in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). METHODS: Prospective observational study. PARTICIPANTS: One hundred thirteen patients with CLBP selected at the Spinal Disease Outpatient Clinic. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pain intensity was scored using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and function was measured using the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ). RESULTS: The Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire work subscale results (FABQ-work; odds ratio [OR]=0.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.13-0.56, p<0.001) and extraspinal pain (OR=0.35, 95% CI 0.17-0.74, p=0.006) were independently associated with a decreased response to conventional physical therapy for CLBP. CONCLUSION: We identified high FABQ-work and extraspinal pain scores as key determinants of a worse response to physical therapy among CLBP patients, supporting the need for a special rehabilitation program for this subgroup.

RESUMO Objetivo: Identificar os fatores prognósticos para a fisioterapia convencional em pacientes com lombalgia mecânica comum crônica (LMC). Métodos: Estudo prospectivo observacional. Participantes: Foram selecionados pelo Ambulatório de Doenças da Coluna Vertebral 113 pacientes com lombalgia mecânica comum crônica. Medidas de desfecho principais: A intensidade da dor foi pontuada utilizando a Escala Numérica de Dor (END) e a função foi medida usando o Questionário Roland-Morris de Incapacidade (RMDQ). Resultados: Os resultados da subescala trabalho do Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ-trabalho; odds ratio [OR] = 0,27, intervalo de confiança de 95% [IC 95%] 0,13–0,56, p < 0,001) e da dor extraespinal (OR = 0,35, IC 0,17–0,74, p = 0,006) estiveram independentemente associados a uma diminuição na resposta à fisioterapia convencional para a lombalgia crônica. Conclusão: Foram identificados escores elevados na FABQ-trabalho e dor extraespinal como determinantes-chave para uma pior resposta à fisioterapia em pacientes com LMC o que apoia a necessidade de um programa de reabilitação especial para este subgrupo.

ABSTRACT

Resumo A lombalgia crônica constituise como uma doença que interfere na qualidade de vida e na capacidade funcional do paciente. Este estudo teve por objetivo identificar o efeito moderador do “Tipo de Família” na relação entre a incapacidade funcional e a qualidade de vida em doentes com lombalgia crônica. Participaram no estudo 213 pacientes com lombalgia há mais de 3 meses. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: Medical Outcome Study (MOS-20); Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ); Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales (FACES II). Foram realizadas análises de regressão com o objetivo de testar o efeito moderador do tipo de família. Os resultados revelaram que os doentes com níveis mais baixos de incapacidade funcional apresentavam melhor qualidade de vida nas famílias intermédias e equilibradas, com relação mais forte nestas últimas. De acordo com os resultados, os programas de intervenção na lombalgia crônica, além do doente, devem incluir a família, particularmente nas equilibradas, que são as que mais sentem o impacto da doença na sua qualidade de vida.


Abstract Chronic low back pain is a disease that interferes with quality of life and the patient's functional capability. This study aimed to identify the moderating effect of the “Type of Family” in the relationship between functional disability and quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain. Two hundred and three patients with low back pain for longer than 3 months participated in the study. The instruments used were: Medical Outcome Study (MOS 20); Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDO; Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales (FACES II). Regression analyses were performed in order to test the moderating effect of the type of family. The results showed that patients with lower levels of disability presented better quality of life in the intermediate and balanced families, and this relationship was even stronger in balanced families. According to the results, intervention programs in chronic low back pain, besides the patient, should include the family particularly in balanced families since they are the ones that feel the impact of the disease on their quality of life the most.

ABSTRACT

A lombalgia é um dos mais comuns e desafiadores problemas de cuidados primários de saúde com alta prevalência e incidência. Apresenta etiologia multifatorial e as principais manifestações clínicas são: dor e alterações biomecânicas. Promove alterações na realização de atividades de vida diária e prática, com conseqüente repercussão sobre a qualidade de vida. No que concerne o tratamento fisioterapêutico, deve-se considerar que os efeitos fisiológicos ocasionados pela imersão em meio líquido associados à realização de exercícios específicos assim como a possibilidade de realização do tratamento em grupo justificam a abordagem ao paciente com lombalgia crônica. Objetivos: avaliar a eficácia de uma proposta de exercícios aquáticos, realizados em grupo, na qualidade de vida e na dor de pessoas com dor lombar crônica. Método: participaram deste estudo 28 indivíduos, com média de idade de 58,4 anos, que concordaram em receber intervenção em piscina por meio de exercícios aquáticos padronizados, realizados em grupo executados 3 vezes por semana por um período de 6 meses. Foi realizada a avaliação da dor por meio da escala numérica de dor no início e final de cada intervenção, e da qualidade de vida pela aplicação do questionário SF-36 e Roland-Morris (RM) em 3 momentos (início das intervenções, após 3 meses e após 6 meses). Resultados: o teste t-pareado revelou redução significativa da dor (p<0,000045) do início da terapia para o final da terapia, entretanto não foi observada mudança significativa no seguimento longitudinal desta variável. Em relação à qualidade de vida o teste de Wilcoxon evidenciou melhora significativa para os domínios dor (p<0,028), aspectos sociais (p<0,046) e saúde mental (p<0,002). ... (AU)


Low back pain is one of the most common and challenging problems in primary health care with high prevalence and incidence. It presents multifactual etiology and the primary clinical symptons are: pain and biomechanical alterations. Promotes alterations in performance of daily activities and practice, with consequent impact on the quality of life. In regard to the treatment by physiotherapy it should be considered that the physiological effects caused by immersion in liquid media, associated with performing specific exercises and the possibility to perform the treatment in a groups, justify this approach to patients with chronic low back pain. Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of a water exercise, in group, the quality of life and pain of individuals with chronic back pain. Method: At this study had taken part 28 individuals with an average age of 58.4 years, who agreed to receive treatment through standardized aquatic exercises in a swimming pool, carried out in group, 3 times a week over a period of 6 months. The evaluation of pain had been carried out, using the numerical pain scale at the beginning and end of each treatment, and evaluation of quality of life by filling out the questionnaires of SF-36 and Roland-Morris (RM) at 3 stages of treatment (at the beginning, after 3 months and after 6 months). Results: The t-test revealed significant reduction of pain (p <0.000045) from the beginning up to the end of the therapy, however there was no significant change in the longitudinal sequence of this variable. Regarding quality of life the Wilcoxon test showed significant improvement in the domain of pain (p <0.028), social aspects (p <0.046) and mental health (p <0.002). ... (AU)

ABSTRACT

A lombalgia é um importante problema clínico, social, econômico e de saúde pública. Várias estratégias terapêuticas são freqüentemente empregadas no tratamento da lombalgia crônica não-específica (LCNE), contudo, a efetividade destas é sistematicamente revisada. O objetivo desse estudo foi realizar uma revisão sistemática da evidência das técnicas utilizadas no tratamento de pacientes adultos com LCNE. As bases de dados pesquisadas incluíram Biblioteca Cochrane, Medline, Pubmed e Scielo dos quais foram aceitos somente ensaios clínicos randomizados. A qualidade metodológica dos artigos foi avaliada através da escala PEDro e o nível de evidência das terapêuticas foi determinado. Dezoito estudos foram selecionados e avaliados nos quais a média na escala PEDro indicou alta qualidade metodológica. Os tipos de tratamento encontrados foram: terapia manual, fisioterapia convencional, exercícios, acupuntura, back school, voga e terapia cognitivo-comportamental. Os resultados da escala PEDro sugerem que os critérios de cegamento dos sujeitos e, principalmente, dos terapeutas possam ser inapropriados em estudos de tratamento fisioterapêutico. Os achados denotaram relativamente forte evidência suportando a efetividade do voga, dos exercícios, do programa cognitivo-comportamental associado a exercícios e da terapia manual em curto prazo, conflitante evidência para a fisioterapia convencional e as back schools em pacientes com LCNE. A evidência identificada não apóia a aplicação da acupuntura no tratamento dessa morbidade. A incorporação e aplicação de condutas eficientes baseadas em evidências devem ser estimuladas na prática clínica e estas devem respeitar as necessidades de cada paciente. Contudo, devem ser realizados novos estudos com ensaios clínicos randomizados de alta qualidade metodológica, principalmente, que abordem terapias multidisciplinares em relação à LCNE.


Low back pain is an important clinical, social, economic and public health problem. Many therapeutics strategies are commonly used in treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain, although their effectiveness has been being review systematiclly. The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review of evidence in treatment of adults patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. Databases searched included Cochrane Library, Medline, Pubmed e Scielo have been included only randomized controlied trials. Methodological quality of articles was evaluated through scale PEDro and the levei of evidence from the therapeutics was determined. Eigthteen studies with average indicating high methodological quality in PEDro scale were selected e appraised. The treatment types found were manual therapy, conventional physiotherapy, exercises, acupuncture, back school, voga and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Pedro scale results suggest that blind subjects and, mainly, blind therapist criteria are inappropriate in studies about physiotherapist treatment. Findings revealed relatively strong evidence supporting the effectiveness of yoga , exercises, cognitive-behavioral program association the exercises and manual therapy in short term, conflicting evidence for conventional physiotherapy and back schools in subjects with non-specific chronic low back pain.

ABSTRACT

A lombalgia crônica (LC) é reconhecida como uma síndrome incapacitante constituída de dor, dificuldade de se movimentar e trabalhar e gradativa instalação da incapacidade. A cronicidade da doença tem levado muitos pesquisadores a desenvolverem estudos com o objetivo de analisar o impacto desta condição sobre a qualidade e vida. Atualmente as técnicas de reabilitação da lombalgia crônica têm sido direcionadas para programas de estabilidade central que são constituídos de exercícios estáticos e dinâmicos de estabilização que buscam o equilíbrio muscular do complexo lombo-pelve-quadril. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a qualidade de vida através da aplicação do questionário SF-36 (Short Form Health Survey), em pacientes com lombalgia crônica antes e após terem freqüentado um programa de exercícios de estabilização central. A amostra foi composta por 11 pacientes com diagnóstico clínico de lombalgia crônica. Observou-se que os domínios dor, capacidade funcional, saúde mental, e estado geral de saúde apresentaram tendência favorável quando confrontados os resultados antes e depois dos exercícios de estabilização central. O programa de exercícios de estabilização central mostrou-se efetivo na melhora da qualidade de vida dos indivíduos com lombalgia crônica em relação à limitação por aspectos físicos.


The chronic low back pain is known by a disabling syndrome constituted of pain, mobilization difficulty and gradual installation inability. Many researchers developed examns to analyse the impact of this condition on life quality due to the level of chronic of the disease. Nowadays, the techniques of rehabilitation for the chronic low back pain involve control motor exercises programs composed by static and dynamic stabilization exercises that expect to find the stability of the pelvic floor muscles. The aim of this study is to evaluate the life quality by the questionnaire SF-36 (short Form Health Survey), in patients with chronic low back pain before and after participate of a control motor exercises program. The sample was formed by 11 patients with clinical diagnosis of chronic low back pain. It could be observed that the areas of pain, functional capacity, mental health and general health situation showed a convenient tendency when the outcomes of medium effects were compared before and after the control motor exercises. The control motor exercises program was really effective to improve the life quality of patients with chronic low back pain who physically limited.
