To investigate the prevalence of chronic pain and its association with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a group of women, diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) in childhood.
Prospective longitudinal 16-19 years follow-up study of 100 Swedish females diagnosed with ASD and/or ADHD in childhood/adolescence. Seventy-seven of the women were included in the current sub-study, using validated measures of pain perception and quality of life.
A large majority of the women (76.6%) reported chronic pain. HRQoL was low overall and lower still for those reporting chronic pain. Women with ADHD who had ongoing treatment with stimulants reported a significant lower prevalence of chronic widespread pain (CWP) than those not treated.
Comorbidity with chronic pain is common in women with ASD and/or ADHD and important to address in the clinic since it is associated with an already low HRQoL. Treatment for ADHD might reduce the pain in some cases.
调查一组童年时期被诊断患有自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)和/或注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的女性中慢性疼痛的患病率及其与健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)的关联。
对100名在童年/青少年时期被诊断患有ASD和/或ADHD的瑞典女性进行为期16 - 19年的前瞻性纵向随访研究。使用经过验证的疼痛感知和生活质量测量方法,77名女性被纳入当前的子研究。
绝大多数女性(76.6%)报告有慢性疼痛。总体而言,HRQoL较低,而报告有慢性疼痛的女性HRQoL更低。正在接受兴奋剂治疗的ADHD女性报告的慢性广泛性疼痛(CWP)患病率显著低于未接受治疗的女性。
ASD和/或ADHD女性中慢性疼痛合并症很常见,在临床中很重要,因为它与本就较低的HRQoL相关。ADHD的治疗在某些情况下可能会减轻疼痛。
