2. november 2026 opdateret af: Taciser Kaya, Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital

Forekomst af spinal neuropatisk smerte hos patienter med ankyloserende spondylitis og dets indvirkning på søvnkvaliteten: en case-control undersøgelse

The aim of this study is to investigate prevalence of neuropathic spinal pain in AS patients and it's impact on sleep quality. Moreover effects of neuropathic pain on quality of life and fatigue will be assessed.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic, inflammatory rheumatic disease that mainly presenting with chronic back pain. In general, chronic low back pain is currently defined as a mixed pain including nociceptive and neuropathic properties. Nociceptive pain in several rheumatic diseases displays neuropathic characteristics over time. Patients with AS are suffered from spinal, entheseal pain or pain originated from peripheral and root joints. Although being scarce, there are trials investigating and reporting neuropathic component of spinal pain in axial spondyloarthritis/ankylosing spondylitis patients. However these trials either are not controlled or did not specify painful region of interest. In a few controlled trials control subjects were not defined clearly.

Sleep problems are reported to be prevalent among patients with chronic pain conditions such as inflammatory rheumatic diseases and fibromyalgia. In patients with ankylosing spondylitis sleep disturbance is a well defined issue. The fact that sleep problem is a common problem in AS, raises the need to explore it's associates. In the trials measuring spinal neuropathic pain, sleep disturbances and it's association with neuropathic pain were not assessed.

So, investigators have aimed to investigate prevalence of neuropathic spinal pain in AS patients and it's impact on sleep quality. For this purpose a case-control study design was planned. Age- and sex-matched control subjects will be chosen among individuals submitted to out-patient clinic with nociceptive/mechanical pain complaint lasting more than three months. Participants in control group will be subjected to same exclusion criteria too.

This design will allow the investigators to determine whether spinal pain in AS patients displays neuropathic character more frequently than any chronic nociceptive pain does.

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Neuropathic pain
Tidsramme: Once, at baseline

It will be assessed using the PainDETECT questionnaire. This questionnaire contains nine questions all of which are self-report. Seven items are rated on a six point Likert scale and thus are scored between 0-5. These seven questions query some sensations such as burning, tingling or prickling, allodynia, numbness etc. Apart from these seven items, one item assesses the radiation of pain and the other one item looks for the temporal characteristics of pain. A total score of 12 or less indicates neuropathic component is unlikely, 13-18 means possible neuropathic component and 19 or greater means a neuropathic component is likely. Beside these, there are three items in a separate section measuring severity of pain at the time of evaluation, on average and maximum over the past month. This section is not taken into account in scoring

Once, at baseline
Sleep quality
Tidsramme: Once, at baseline

It will be assessed using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). It was developed by Buysse and coworkers in 1989. This index measures sleep quality quantitatively and covers 24 questions. Nineteen questions are self-rated and scoring is based on these self-rated questions, other five questions that rating by partner are not taken into account while calculating total score. Questionnaire measures seven domains; subjective sleep quality (question 6), sleep latency (question 2 and 5a), sleep duration (question 4), habitual sleep efficiency (question 1,3,4), sleep disturbances (question 5b-j), use of sleep medication (question 7), and daytime dysfunction (question 8 and 9) over the last month. Seven domain scores give a result on a 0 to 3 scale. To yield a total score the domain scores are summed. Total score varies between 0 and 21. Higher scores indicate worse sleep quality.

Tidsramme
Health related quality of life
Tidsramme: Once, at baseline

Health related quality of life will be assessed using (Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (ASQoL) querying symptoms, functioning, and disease-related concern. It covers 18 dichotomous questions that ask participants to answer in a yes or no fashion. An answer of "yes" is assumed as one point. To get a final score, all points are summed. Thus, total score is between 0-18 and higher scores indicate worse quality of life.

Once, at baseline
Fatigue
Tidsramme: Once, at baseline

It will be assessed using Fatigue Severity Scale. This scale contains nine questions and measures fatigue severity during the past week. Each question is rated between 1 (strongly disagree)-7 (strongly disagree). Total score is mean of all To calculate total score first the points of all answers are summed and then the result is divided by nine. Higher scores indicate severe fatigue
