Detailed Descriptions

Sequence: 20841899
Description The purpose of this project is to detect pain and introduce an evaluation protocol and innovative therapeutic approach in the treatment of patients with chronic pain. This project activities will be developed within the ISCAL structure, in five phases, as follows: Phase 1 – In this phase, it is aimed to determine the profile of patients admitted to the ISCAL outpatient clinic (pain profile, location of pain, age, gender, type of disorder, duration of symptoms, main functional limitations, type of work, among other variables), as well as, from meetings between the researchers, to establish a standardized pain assessment protocol using simple and high-tech measurement in different patients with musculoskeletal disorders; Phase 2 – This phase aims to determine the psychometric properties of biological measures of the central nervous system (such as parameters from electroencephalography and transcranial magnetic stimulation) in the context of neuromusculoskeletal pain. A secondary objective would also be to assess the validity (concurrent validity by correlations between measures), reliability (test-retest measure), and specificity of these measures; Phase 3 – In this phase, we aim to determine the sensitivity of pain detection measures from electroencephalography data and muscle fatigue (analyzed by electroneuromyography signals) in individuals with musculoskeletal disorders compared to age- and sex-matched controls. Phase 4 – In this phase, the objective is to verify the effect of pain management intervention using a combination of direct current stimulation neuromodulation (tDCS), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) protocols and other alternative pain management in individuals with musculoskeletal disorders. Finally in Phase 5, the objective is to provide subsidies for the creation of a research laboratory in pain, as well as possible workshops and lectures for the transfer of knowledge. From this project, it is expected to contribute to a better knowledge of the mechanisms and neuromodulation of pain in the context of musculoskeletal disorders as well as to develop an evaluation protocol for these patients and help in future interventions or therapeutic options. Moreover, the use of validated assessment and treatment tools could represent an innovation in the rehabilitation context at ISCAL, and could bring benefits to the functionality and quality of life of patients with musculoskeletal disorders.

Description Education and exercices for pain relief by usual tradicional physiotherapy in Hospital: walking, mobility, and transfert. Description The intervention will start by a pretest on the first day (day 0, baseline record). Tdcs will be applied associated to physical task from functional activity of daily life. Functional task for the assessment of pain with high-tech tools for the implementation an experimental workstation, consisting in a hairdressing dummy head fixed to a telescopic table, adjustable to each individual's height. The dummy will be set at the height of the hands in a constrained position for the arms, i.e. with elbows flexed at 60 degrees. Elbow angles will be adjusted in a static position with a manual goniometer. The task will be performed in a standing position inside a 1m2 perimeter during 30 minutes. The elbow will be in a prolonged constraint position, undergoing repetitive movements, for 30 consecutive minutes. Performing a repetitive manual gesture. The cycle will be executed at a cadence of 30s/cycle with a metronome beat

The TCT – tDCS Stimulator Kit Research version, with 35 cm2 on M1 of the contralateral hemisphere for the rigth dominant hand. During the first 30 s of active tDCS, an initial period of ''ramping up'' is administered, in which the stimulator reaches the maximum programmed current (2 mA) to mimic cutaneous perceptions. A 2 mA intensity will be maintained during activity. Description Education and exercices for pain relief by usual tradicional physiotherapy in Hospital: walking, mobility, and transfert.

Description The 0 (minimal) to 10 (maximal) numerical Rating Scales (NRS) Description Pain measurement using the Brain pain inventory (BPI) questionnaire. The interference items were now presented with 0-10 scales, with 0=no interference and 10=interferes completely Description Algometer measurement for assessing the pressure pain threshold using a digital device in kgf. Description he SRT basically consists in the quantification of the number of support (hands and/or knees, or hands or forearms on knees) one utilizes in order to sit and to rise from the floor. Independent grades are provided to each of the two actions – sitting and rising. The maximal grade is 5 for each one of the actions, losing one point for each support and additional half point for any detectable unbalance. The SRT allows, in very short time and practically in any place, the evaluation of many items – flexibility of lower limb joints, balance, motor coordination, and muscle power/body weight relationship – at the same time, which could be perhaps characterized as minimum functional muscular fitness. Description Assesses functional lower extremity strength, transitional movements, balance, and fall risk.Therapist Instructions: Have the patient sit with their back against the back of the chair. Count each stand aloud so that the patient remains oriented. Stop the test when the patient achieves the standing position on the 5th repetition. Patient Instructions: "Please stand up straight as quickly as you can 5 times, without stopping in between. Keep your arms folded across your chest. I'll be timing you with a stopwatch. Ready, begin Description Purpose: To assess mobility. Equipment: A stopwatch. Directions: Patients wear their regular footwear and can use a walking aid, if needed. Begin by having the patient sit back in a standard arm chair and identify a line 3 meters, or 10 feet away, on the floor. Description The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) quantifies musculoskeletal pain and activity prevention in 9 body regions. The questionnaire can determine the prevalence of chronic pain across all participants. The NMQ is a self-administrated standardized questionnaire collecting sociodemographic information, health status, and musculosketal region pain. Description Muscular activity will be measured durinh physical function .e. under 30-minutes of an experimental functional task, time up and go test and a 6 meters walk test, using a wireless BTS FREEEMG 300 Description Brain measurement by recording EEG signals at rest, during physical function i.e. under 30-minutes of an experimental functional task, time up and go test and a 6 meters walk test, using an Emotiv wireless EPOC® EEG Headset Description Transcranial Magnetic Stimulator (Magstim Company Ltd., UK). rMT was defined as the minimal intensity of stimulation capable of eliciting MEPs of at least 50 yV in 50% of the trials with the muscle at rest, expressed in percentage of the maximum stimulator output. rMT will be assessed at day 0 after 6 weeks.
