目的：指数的频率报告慢性疼痛的患者与创伤性脑损伤（TBI）。设计：一个案例系列研究进行了连续患者TBI.Setting：TBI患者从成人三级保健中心脑损伤clinic.Patients招募：连续样本的132例患者参加了脑损伤康复中心后TBI。样本包括53轻度和79中度/重度TBI patients.Outcome Measures：患者管理的协议，索引疼痛部位，频率，严重程度，和duration.Results：慢性疼痛的轻度TBI和52%的中度/重度TBI患者的58%。头痛是最常报告的疼痛问题。47%的轻度TBI患者和34%的中度/重度TBI患者报告了慢性头痛。颈部/肩部，背部，上肢和下肢疼痛的轻度和中度/重度TBI patients.Conclusions：研究结果表明，慢性疼痛是一个显着的问题，在轻度和中度/重度TBI患者。更有效地诊断TBI患者的慢性疼痛可能有助于这些患者的康复。(C)1996年由美国康复医学大会和美国物理医学与康复学会
Objective: To index the frequency of reported chronic pain in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).Design: A case series study was conducted on consecutive patients with TBI.Setting: TBI patients were recruited from an adult tertiary care center brain injury clinic.Patients: A consecutive sample of 132 patients who attended a brain injury rehabilitation center after TBI. The sample included 53 mild and 79 moderate/severe TBI patients.Outcome Measures: Patients were administered a protocol that indexed pain site, frequency, severity, and duration.Results: Chronic pain was reported by 58% of mild TBI and 52% of moderate/severe TBI patients. Headaches were the most commonly reported pain problem. Chronic headaches were reported by 47% of mild TBI patients and 34% of moderate/severe TBI patients. Neck/shoulder, back, upper limb, and lower limb pain were reported similarly by mild and moderate/severe TBI patients.Conclusions: Findings indicate that chronic pain is a significant problem in mild and moderate/severe TBI patients. More effective diagnosis of TBI patients with chronic pain may facilitate rehabilitation of these patients.
