目的比较慢性疼痛青少年与健康青少年的活动水平，探讨体动记录与活动受限和抑郁的关系。方法40名青少年（n = 20例慢性疼痛患者，n = 20例其他健康人; 12-17岁; 72.5%女性）参加。青少年完成了关于疼痛，活动限制和抑郁症的问卷调查。使用Actiwatch 64（R）设备评估7天的活动水平，得出平均和峰值活动水平，以及中度和久坐活动所花费的时间。结果慢性疼痛青少年的体力活动低于健康同龄人。患有慢性疼痛的青少年报告了显着更高水平的活动限制和抑郁。年龄和性别与活动有关。更高的活动与疼痛频率和抑郁症呈负相关。峰值活动也与自我报告的疼痛强度和活动限制显著负相关。结论腕动计可用于检查慢性疼痛青少年的体力活动结果。
Objectives This study compared activity levels of adolescents with chronic pain and healthy adolescents, and investigated relations between actigraphy and subjective measures of activity limitations and depression. Methods Forty adolescents (n = 20 with chronic pain, n = 20 otherwise healthy; 12-17 years; 72.5% females) participated. Adolescents completed questionnaires regarding pain, activity limitations, and depression. Activity levels were assessed for 7 days using the Actiwatch 64 (R) device, yielding mean and peak activity levels, and time spent in moderate and sedentary activity. Results Physical activity was lower in adolescents with chronic pain than in healthy peers. Adolescents with chronic pain reported significantly higher levels of activity limitations and depression. Age and gender were related to activity. Higher activity was inversely correlated with pain frequency and depression. Peak activity was also significantly inversely related to self-reported pain intensity and activity limitations. Conclusions Actigraphy may be useful for examining physical activity outcomes in adolescents with chronic pain.
