Out of a population of 456 patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI), 130 having pain were selected after matching, based on gender, age, American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment grade and level of lesion.
To investigate whether gender differences with regard to pain perception and prevalence exist in a population of patients following spinal cord injury.
Spinalis SCI Unit (out-patient clinic), Stockholm, Sweden.
130 patients suffering from pain were assessed over a 12-month period in a yearly health control.
SCI women had a higher prevalence of nociceptive pain than men and their use of analgesics was greater. However, no differences between the sexes could be seen regarding pain and localization, onset, distribution, factors affecting pain, number of painful body regions, pain descriptors, ratings of pain intensities or in pain and life satisfaction.
This study showed that SCI men and women describe their pain very similarly. However, SCI women had a higher prevalence of nociceptive pain than men and their use of opiates and non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) was greater.
在456例脊髓损伤(SCI)患者中,根据性别、年龄、美国脊髓损伤协会(ASIA)损伤分级和损伤平面进行匹配后,选取了130例有疼痛的患者。
调查脊髓损伤患者群体中在疼痛感知和患病率方面是否存在性别差异。
瑞典斯德哥尔摩的Spinalis脊髓损伤科(门诊)。
在为期12个月的年度健康检查中,对130例疼痛患者进行评估。
脊髓损伤女性伤害感受性疼痛的患病率高于男性,且她们使用镇痛药的情况更多。然而,在疼痛及定位、发作、分布、影响疼痛的因素、疼痛身体部位数量、疼痛描述词、疼痛强度评分或疼痛与生活满意度方面,未发现性别差异。
本研究表明,脊髓损伤男性和女性对疼痛的描述非常相似。然而,脊髓损伤女性伤害感受性疼痛的患病率高于男性,且她们使用阿片类药物和非甾体抗炎药(NSAIDs)的情况更多。
