abstract: 'The present study was undertaken to assess the health-related quality of
|
|
|
|
life (HRQoL) and burden of illness due to pain and its treatment for
|
|
|
|
patients with peripheral neuropathic pain (PNP). It is the first step in
|
|
|
|
finding reliable instruments/targets to evaluate treatment outcome in
|
|
|
|
this patient population. Study population consisted of 126 patients
|
|
|
|
suffering from neuropathic, pain due to a peripheral nerve or root
|
|
|
|
lesion, recruited from two multidisciplinary pain clinics. HRQoL was
|
|
|
|
examined using Short Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey and Nottingham Health
|
|
|
|
Profile (NHP). Pain intensity in four categories (at rest and evoked by
|
|
|
|
movement, touch and cold) was rated on a visual analogue scale (VAS).
|
|
|
|
Degree of discomfort from pain and 25 symptoms related to pain and
|
|
|
|
side-effects was also assessed. Reduction in workload due to pain was
|
|
|
|
recorded, as was the pain relief from previous and current treatments
|
|
|
|
and the reasons for discontinuing previous treatments.
|
|
|
|
All dimensions in SF-36 and NHP were significantly impaired. SF-36 was a
|
|
|
|
valid instrument for describing the impact of pain on the HRQoL of
|
|
|
|
patients with PNP. NHP had a lower reliability but has other advantages
|
|
|
|
that might be of importance. Many patients experienced poor pain relief
|
|
|
|
from ongoing pain treatments. Most previous treatments were discontinued
|
|
|
|
owing to lack of efficacy and/or severe side-effects. Many patients
|
|
|
|
experienced a high intensity of at least one type of pain; median VAS
|
|
|
|
for the highest pain intensity score of each patient (any type of pain)
|
|
|
|
was 74/100. Besides pain, patients were most bothered by difficulty in
|
|
|
|
sleeping, lack of energy, drowsiness, difficulty in concentrating and
|
|
|
|
dry mouth. Employment status was reduced owing to pain in 52\% of the
|
|
|
|
patients.
|
|
|
|
The intense pain, other troublesome symptoms, limited efficacy and
|
|
|
|
tolerability of available treatments, together with the impaired health
|
|
|
|
and reduced work status, amount to a substantial burden for patients
|
