LIMA, Peru, 17 de outubro de 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- A dor crônica afeta um em cada 10 [1] adultos no mundo e, no caso da América Latina, estima-se que três em cada dez pessoas sofrem desta condição[2]. Nesse sentido, instituições como a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) têm apontado que o alívio da dor crônica deve ser reconhecido como parte integral do direito à saúde física e mental [4].

Do mesmo modo, a OMS advertiu que o indivíduo pode chegar a perder sua independência ou funcionalidade devido a dor crônica, sendo esta considerada como um dos problemas de saúde mais subestimados globalmente [4] e que, cerca da metade dos pacientes que padecem de dor crônica não podem fazer exercícios, dormir adequadamente, caminhar, dirigir um carro, bem como desempenhar atividades domésticas simples [4].

"A dor crônica impacta na qualidade de vida e pode também afetar a saúde emocional de quem sofre dessa condição. Não sendo manejada adequadamente, pode chegar a ter um impacto importante na vida do paciente e de seus familiares e amigos. É por isso que sua abordagem deve ser multidisciplinar e integral, entendendo-a como realmente é: uma doença em si - [7]", afirmou a Dra. Olga Carrón, Diretora Regional de Assuntos Médicos da Grünenthal para América Latina.

A propósito do Dia Mundial de Combate à Dor, estas são algumas características particulares da dor crônica:

  1. Condição prolongada. A dor é uma resposta a um estímulo nocivo sobre o organismo e tem uma função protetora: alerta sobre o dano e indica que tem algo que deve ser tratado. No entanto, quando esta se prolonga por mais de 3 meses é considerada crônica [5] e deixa de cumprir um propósito útil.
  2. Intensidade. Atualmente, perguntar o quão intensa é a dor que o paciente sente passou a ser parte do protocolo de atendimento médico. Embora o registro da intensidade da dor sempre seja subjetivo, a vantagem é que o médico pode obter uma ideia - da percepção do paciente, [6] o que lhe permite definir se trata-se ou não de dor crônica.
  3. Alta prevalência. Estima-se que três em cada dez pessoas [2] sofrem de dor crônica na América Latina e, no mundo, um em cada dez adultos [1] padece desta condição.
  4. Multifatorial. Pode ter como antecedentes uma infecção, algum problema nas costas ou doenças como: câncer, artrite, dor neuropática, fibromialgia, entre outras. No entanto, a diferença entre dor aguda e crônica é que a doença de base deixa de ser a origem e a dor se torna crônica, por isso deve ser tratada como condição independente.
  5. Impacto na qualidade de vida. Além do impacto no desempenho físico, a dor pode causar ansiedade, depressão, perturbações do sono, entre outros problemas que impedem o desenvolvimento pessoal do paciente. Além disso, pesquisas recentes indicam que 78% de pacientes não estão satisfeitos com a eficiência do tratamento que recebem [3].

Da mesma forma, diferentes estudos indicam a necessidade de que os diversos atores do setor de saúde trabalhem em conjunto para melhorar a compreensão - sobre a dor crônica, com o propósito de oferecer um diagnóstico correto e um manejo adequado para os pacientes que sofrem desta condição [1][5].
