Abstract

Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the continuing pain during the post-COVID-19 period the frequency of neuropathic pain in these patients, and the factors affecting the frequency.

Methods: A total of 209 participants were included in the study who had COVID-19 disease (PCR-positive) aged 18-75 years. The demographic characteristics and COVID-19 severity data were recorded by questioning the patients. The musculoskeletal pain was also assessed using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the extended Nordic musculoskeletal system questionnaire (NMQ-E). In addition, the neuropathic components of pain were evaluated using the Leeds Assessment of neuropathic symptoms and Signs (LANSS) pain scale and the Pain-DETECT questionnaire (PDQ).

Results: The mean time elapsed since COVID-19 was 5.76±2.95 months (min, 1; max, 12). Six patients (2.9%) had neuropathic pain according to the LANSS score, and 12 patients (5.7%) according to the PDQ score. The NMQ-E indicated that the most pain was detected in the back (20.1%), low back (15.3%), and knee (11.5%) regions during the post-COVID-19 period. According to both neuropathic pain scales; low back pain (p=0.001/0.001) and knee pain (p=0.001/0.01) were more common in patients with PDQ/LANSS neuropathic pain. Logistic regression analysis showed that there were significant associations between neuropathic pain and acute COVID-19 VAS score.

Conclusion: This study demonstrated that musculoskeletal pain was prominent mostly in the back, low back, and knee during the post-COVID-19 period. The incidence of neuropathic pain was 2.9%-5.7% depending on the evaluation parameters. Neuropathic pain is a finding that should be considered during the post-COVID-19 period.

covid -19后患者的神经性疼痛。
目的:在本研究中,我们旨在确定这些患者在covid -19后持续疼痛,神经性疼痛的频率及其影响频率的因素。方法:共纳入209例年龄在18-75岁的COVID-19疾病(pcr阳性)患者。通过询问记录患者的人口学特征和COVID-19严重程度数据。肌肉骨骼疼痛也采用视觉模拟量表(VAS)和北欧肌肉骨骼系统问卷(NMQ-E)进行评估。此外,采用利兹神经性症状和体征评估(LANSS)疼痛量表和疼痛检测问卷(PDQ)评估疼痛的神经性成分。结果:自COVID-19以来的平均时间为5.76±2.95个月(min, 1;马克斯,12)。LANSS评分为6例(2.9%),PDQ评分为12例(5.7%)。NMQ-E显示,在covid -19后期间,背部(20.1%)、下背部(15.3%)和膝盖(11.5%)区域的疼痛最多。根据神经性疼痛量表;腰痛(p=0.001/0.001)和膝关节痛(p=0.001/0.01)在PDQ/LANSS神经性疼痛患者中更为常见。Logistic回归分析显示神经性疼痛与急性COVID-19 VAS评分存在显著相关性。结论:本研究表明,在covid -19后时期,肌肉骨骼疼痛主要在背部、腰背部和膝盖突出。神经性疼痛的发生率根据评估参数的不同为2.9%-5.7%。神经性疼痛是在covid -19后时期应该考虑的发现。
