To compare health-related quality of life (HRQL) and pain symptoms in patients with PD with a matched control group. To our knowledge, controlled studies of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients within this area are rare.
Fifty-seven patients and 95 controls took part in a self-administered questionnaire study. The instruments were the SF-36, visual analogue scales, pain drawing and pain-specific questions.
Pain problems are common in PD patients but also to a large extent in the normal population. HRQL was reduced (p < or = 0.001) for the PD patients on all the scales on the SF-36 and consequently also in the pain dimension. The study indicates that even PD patients, who are optimally diagnosed and treated by a neurologist, might require additional rehabilitation treatment to improve their HRQL and pain problems.
将帕金森病(PD)患者的健康相关生活质量(HRQL)和疼痛症状与匹配的对照组进行比较。据我们所知,该领域内针对帕金森病(PD)患者的对照研究很少。
57名患者和95名对照者参与了一项自填式问卷调查研究。使用的工具包括SF-36健康调查量表、视觉模拟量表、疼痛绘图以及疼痛特定问题。
疼痛问题在PD患者中很常见,但在正常人群中也相当普遍。PD患者在SF-36的所有量表上的HRQL均有所降低(p≤0.001),因此在疼痛维度上也是如此。该研究表明,即使是由神经科医生进行了最佳诊断和治疗的PD患者,可能也需要额外的康复治疗来改善他们的HRQL和疼痛问题。
