Study reveals that mixed pain is responsible for 59% of patient complaints

Study reveals that mixed pain is responsible for 59% of patient complaints

Feeling pain is not normal and when it becomes constant it can disrupt the routine of those who feel it. Experts classify the pains between nociceptive (inflammatory), that is, are external stimuli and that can cease, and neuropathic pain, affecting the brain, optic nerves and spinal cord (Central Nervous System). Neuropathic pain directly affects the patient's quality of life, since it is not transient.

The combination of the two types of pain characterizes mixed pain. According to a new study in Valencia, Spain, it is directly linked to the most common complaints of patients who feel pain, reaching 59% of the cases.

The survey, which heard approximately 5,000 people in 551 points of care and orthopedic centers in Spain, has shown that mixed pain causes several common day-to-day discomforts and pains, such as low back pain and neck pain. The results also revealed that 54% of the patients had low back pain, 30% neck pain and 29% had osteoarthritis. . According to Camilo Partezani, an orthopedist and assistant physician at the Orthopedics and Traumatology Institute of Hospital das Clínicas, mixed pain is still difficult to identify, but it has been treated. He reinforces that medication should be thought for both the symptoms of nociceptive pain and neuropathic pain. In addition, he points out that the problem deserves a lot of attention, since if it does not receive the right care, it can become chronic pain.

The IUD stands for intrauterine device and refers to the contraceptive method in which a small Y-shaped rod is placed inside the uterus. This small rod stays for a time inside the uterus (ranging from 5 to 10 years) and releases substances that make the uterus a hostile place for the sperm, preventing it from fertilizing the egg.
