Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the presence of neuropathic pain (NP) in female patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) alongwith NP-associated factors.Materials and Methods: In total, 85 female patients who underwent TKA due to knee osteoarthritis were included in this study. Sociodemographic factors along with medical and psychological comorbidities were investigated. Pain levels were assessed using the visualanalogue scale (VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) pain scales. The functional status wasassessed using the WOMAC physical function scales. Importantly, the presence of NP was assessed using the PainDETECT questionnaire. Theemotional status of the patients was assessed using the hospital anxiety depression scale.Results: In total, 9 (10.6%) patients were classified as having likely NP and 14 (16.5%) as having possible NP. The PainDETECT scoreswere significantly correlated with the preoperative VAS scores (p=0.004), WOMAC pain (p=0.000) and physical function scores (p=0.007)and presence of depression (p=0.021) Furthermore, the PainDETECT scores were significantly negatively correlated with the period afterarthroplasty (p=0.033). No correlation was found between NP and socio-demographic factors and medical comorbidities.Conclusion: Patients with NP had a shorter period after arthroplasty, depression, an increased severity of pain and a decreased physicalfunction. The presence of NP in the patients who underwent TKA should be considered and associated factors should be evaluated.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı total diz protezinden (TKA) sonra nöropatik ağrı (NP) varlığını ve NP’nin sosyo-demografik faktörler, fiziksel fonksiyon, medikal ve psikolojik komorbiditeler ile ilişkisini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Diz osteoartriti nedeni ile TKA olan 85 kadın hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Sosyo-demografik faktörler, medikal ve psikolojik komorbiditeler sorgulandı. Ağrı şiddeti görsel analog skala (VAS) ve Western Ontario ve McMaster Üniversiteleri Artrit İndeksi (WOMAC) ağrı skalası ile, fonksiyonel durum WOMAC fiziksel fonksiyon skalası ile, NP varlığı PainDETECT Ağrı anketi ile, hastaların emosyonel durumu hastane anksiyete depresyon skalası ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Dokuz hasta (%10,6) NP pozitif, 14 hasta (%16,5) muhtemel NP olarak sınıflandırıldı. PainDETECT skorları ile operasyon öncesi VAS skorları (p=0,004), WOMAC ağrı (p=0,000) ve fiziksel fonksiyon skorları (p=0,007) ve depresyon varlığı (p=0,021) arasında anlamlı pozitif korelasyon, artroplastiden sonra geçen zaman ile arasında negatif korelasyon (p=0.033) saptandı. NP ve sosyo-demografik faktörler ve medikal komorbiditeler arasında ilişki saptanmadı. Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonuçları TKA sonrası bazı hastalarda NP olduğunu gösterdi. NP’si olan hastaların artroplasti sonrası dönemin daha kısa olduğu ve bu hastaların depresyonu olduğu, ağrı ve disabilitesinin artmış olduğu saptandı. TKA hastalarında NP varlığı düşünülmeli ve ilişkili faktörler değerlendirilmelidir. TKA sonrası ağrı tedavisinde NP için uygun tedavi stratejileri dahil edilmelidir.
