Abstract

Aim: The present study aims to investigate the relationship between chronic widespread musculoskeletal system pain (CWP) and neuropathic pain (NP) among patients, who were diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Material and Methods: For this cross-sectional study, the study was carried out in sleep polyclinic of Uşak University’s Medical Faculty Hospital between 1 May 2017 and 1 February 2018. The patients, who applied to the sleep polyclinic for the complaint of sleep disorder and were diagnosed with OSAS by using polysomnography (PSG) but haven’t had a treatment for this purpose yet, were involved.. Results: Examining the PSG results of participants, mild OSAS was detected in 16 cases, moderate OSAS in 15 cases, and severe OSAS in 26 cases. Pain was detected in minimum 1 region in 89% of the cases, whereas 38.5% of participants were found to have neuropathic pain (NP). NP was found to linearly increase with an increase in degree of OSAS (p=0.049). According to Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores, 54% (n=31) of the participants had poor sleep quality, and according to Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) scale scores, 36% (n=21) of the participants had low quality of life (QoL). When examining the differences between groups, due to the variables not being normally distributed, the Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis-H Tests were utilized. to investigate the relationships among variables that do not follow a normal distribution, Spearman’s Correlation Coefficient was employed. Conclusion: CWP and NP were found to accompany each other among those with OSAS. The prevalence of NP increases with an increase in degree of OSAS. The QoL and quality of sleep among those with OSAS with pain were poorer than those having no pain. Women with OSAS were found to have higher pain and lower QoL when compared to men.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, obstrüktif uyku apne sendromu (OUAS) tanısı alan hastalarda kronik yaygın kasiskelet sistemi ağrısı (KYKİSA) ile nöropatik ağrı (NA) arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır.. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu kesitsel çalışma, 1 Mayıs 2017-1 Şubat 2018 tarihleri arasında Uşak Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi uyku polikliniğinde gerçekleştirildi. Uyku polikliniğine uyku bozukluğu şikayeti ile başvuran ve polisomnografi ile obstrüktif uyku apne sendromu tanısı konulan ancak henüz bu amaçla tedavi görmemiş hastalar çalışmaya alındı. Bulgular: Olguların polisomnografi sonuçları incelendiğinde 16 olguda hafif, 15 olguda orta ve 26 olguda ağır düzeyde obstrüktif uyku apne sendromu saptandı. Olguların %89'unda en az 1 bölgede ağrı saptanırken, olguların %38,5'inde nöropatik ağrı (NA) saptandı. NA'nin obstrüktif uyku apne sendromu derecesi arttıkça lineer olarak arttığı bulundu (p=0,049). Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi (PUKİ) puanlarına göre olguların %54'ünün (n=31) uyku kalitesi kötüydü, Sağlık Değerlendirme Ölçeği puanlarına göre ise olguların %36'sının (n=21) yaşam kalitesi düşüktü Sonuç: Obstrüktif uyku apne sendromu olanlarda KYKİSA ve NA'nın birbirine eşlik ettiği saptandı. Obstrüktif uyku apne sendromu derecesi arttıkça NA prevalansı artmaktaydı. Obstrüktif uyku apne sendromu ile beraber ağrısı olanlarda yaşam kalitesi ve uyku kalitesi skorları daha kötü bulundu. Obstrüktif uyku apne sendromu'lu kadınların erkeklere göre ağrı skorları daha yüksek ve yaşam kalitesi skorları daha düşük bulundu.
