Ankilozan Spondilitli Hastalarda Nöropatik Ağrının Hastalık Aktivite Skorları İle İlişkisi ve Anti-TNFα Kullanımının Etkisi

Amaç: Bu çalışmada ankilozan spondiliti olan hastalarda nöropatik ağrının hastalık aktivite indekslerine etki edip etmediği ve aynı zamanda tedavide kullanılan anti-TNFα gibi ajanların bununla ilişkili olup olmadığını araştırmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya modifiye New York kriterlerine göre ankilozan spondilit tanıs konan 98 hasta ve yaş ve cinsiyet uyumlu 99 sağlıklı kontrol alındı. Her iki grupta nöropatik ağrı painDETECT skorlamasına göre yapıldı. Ankilozan spondilit hastalarının hastalık aktiviteleri BASDAI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index), BASFI (Bath ankylosing spondylitis functional ındex), VAS ağrı (Visual Analog Scale) ve Leeds entezit indeksi ile değerlendirildi. Ayrıca her iki gruba HAQ (Health Assesment Questionnaire) ve Beck depresyon ölçeği uygulandı. Ayrıca ankilozan spondilit hastaları anti-TNFα ilaç kullanan ve kullanmayan şeklinde iki grup olarak karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: PainDETECT hasta grubunda kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksekti. Ankilozan spondilit grubunda ortalama painDETECT 22,1 kontrol grubunda ise 9,95 idi (p

The Relationship of Neuropathic Pain with Disease Activity Scores in Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis and the Effect of Anti-TNFα Use

Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate whether neuropathic pain affects disease activity indexes in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and also whether agents such as anti-TNFα are associated with it. Material and Method: Ninety-eight patients diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis according to the modified New York criteria and 99 age and gender matched healthy controls were included in the study. Neuropathic pain in both groups was determined according to painDETECT scoring. Disease activities of patients with ankylosing spondylitis were evaluated with BASDAI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index), BASFI (Bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index), VAS pain (Visual Analog Scale) and Leeds enthesitis index. In addition, HAQ (Health Assesment Questionnaire) and Beck depression scales were applied to both groups. In addition, patients with ankylosing spondylitis were compared in two groups, using anti-TNFα drugs and those who did not. Results: PainDETECT was statistically significantly higher in the patient group compared to the control group. Mean painDETECT was 22.1 in the ankylosing spondylitis group and 9.95 in the control group (p
