Abstract

Objectives: To describe the clinical and paraclinnical characteristics, as well as the features of pain attributed to neuropathic cause using the PainDetect score in patients with primary osteoprorosis. Subjects: The study was conducted on 120 patients with primary osteoporosis who had VAS spinal pain score ≥ 3 points and were treated in the Centre for Rheumatology and the Outpatient clinic, Bach Mai hospital from June 2023 to September 2024. Research Methods: Cross-sectional study. Results: 1. Clinical characteristics: The average age of the study participants was 72,07±8,75 years.Most patients were in the ≥ 70 age group 60,8% and female 97,5%. The common clinical symptoms such as spinal pain (100%), limited spinal movement (62,5%), spinal derfomity (28,3%). 2. X-ray characteristics of the spine: The rate of patients with ≥ 2 vertebral fractures is 52,1%. 3. Characteristics of pain due to neurological causes: The percentage of patients with neuropathic spinal pain assessed by the PainDetect score was 10,8% and the percentage of patients spinal pain suggest neuropathic pain is 8,4%. The most commonly encountered PainDetect symptoms were a pain increasing when pressing (52,5%), prickling sensation (42,5%), pain like electric shock (50%) Conclusion: The percentage of patients with neuropathic spinal pain assessed by the PainDetect score was 10,8%. The common features of neuropathic pain such as pain increasing when pressing (52,5%), prickling sensation (42,5%), pain like electric shock (5%).
