To analyze the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients with neck pain, assessing risk factors, comorbidities, and the need for therapeutic interventions, as well as the impact of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on case management.
This is a cross-sectional study involving 435 patients treated at the Emergency Department of the Instituto Ortopédico de Goiânia (IOG) between July and December 2023. Sociodemographic, clinical, and risk factor variables were analyzed based on data collected from electronic medical records. Statistical analysis included association tests with a significance level of 5% (p<0.05).
A high prevalence of sedentary lifestyle (94.59%) and prolonged work exposure (78.38%) was observed. Most patients required medication (94.59%), while 63.96% underwent additional clinical interventions. Statistically significant associations were identified between sex, occupational factors, and lesions detected by MRI. The average time to diagnosis was 4.2 months.
Neck pain is strongly associated with modifiable risk factors such as sedentary behavior and occupational overload, highlighting the importance of preventive strategies and individualized therapeutic approaches. MRI played a key role in diagnosis and treatment planning. .
分析颈部疼痛患者的临床和流行病学特征，评估危险因素、合并症以及治疗干预的必要性，以及磁共振成像（MRI）对病例管理的影响。
这是一项横断面研究，纳入了2023年7月至12月期间在戈亚尼亚骨科研究所（IOG）急诊科接受治疗的435例患者。根据从电子病历中收集的数据，对社会人口统计学、临床和危险因素变量进行分析。统计分析包括显著性水平为5%（p<0.05）的关联检验。
观察到久坐生活方式（94.59%）和长时间工作暴露（78.38%）的高患病率。大多数患者需要药物治疗（94.59%），而63.96%的患者接受了额外的临床干预。在性别、职业因素和MRI检测到的病变之间发现了具有统计学意义的关联。平均诊断时间为4.2个月。
颈部疼痛与久坐行为和职业负荷过重等可改变的危险因素密切相关，突出了预防策略和个体化治疗方法的重要性。MRI在诊断和治疗规划中发挥了关键作用。
