“…Developed at Michigan Diabetes Research and Training Center in the United States, the MNSI aims to screen the symmetric diabetic neuropathy from individuals with diabetes mellitus and its reliability and acuracy were discussed in previous studies 9, 10,11 , but not for Brazilian population. Also available to screen peripheral neuropathy, the Pain Quality Assessment Scale (PQAS) were cross-adapted for Brazilian Portuguese; however the PQAS was designed to focus on assessing the quality of the neuropathic pain in cancer patients 12 . Due to the specific approach to DSPN that includes other issues related to peripheral neuropathy apart from neuropathic pain, the MNSI could be considered a better scale to be used in the diabetic population.…”

Diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) affects approximately 10% of the subjects newly diagnosed 1,2,3 as type 2 diabetes and this percentage can increase by duration, lack of glycemic and cardiovascular complications 3,4,5 . When appropriately treated by restoration of glycemic control 3 , the progression of the DSPN can be delayed and the diabetic ulcers and amputations reduced 3,6 . However, the neuropathy is still the major cause of diabetic foot presenting damaged nerve fibers and this secondary complication affects more than 50% among the subjects diagnosed ABSTRACTSince 1994, the University of Michigan Diabetes Research and Training Center proposed an instrument to measure neuropathies not yet adapted to use in Brazil. Then, this study aimed to adapt cross-culturally the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) into Brazilian Portuguese, verifying its reliability. Thirty diabetic patients were initially evaluated with the adapted version after completed the essential steps to accomplish the cross-cultural adaptation. Twenty-two of them completed the procedures to repeat the measured scores after day 1 (trial 0). The repeated measurements were tested at days 2 or 3 (trial 1) by another rater (inter-rater reliability) and retested at day 20 (trial 2) by one of the attended raters (inter-test reliability). There were not great semantics, linguistics or cultural differences between two versions and excellent reliability was confirmed by intra-class correlation coefficient above 0.840. It was concluded that MNSI in the Brazilian version is reliable and it is ready to use.Keywords: diagnosis; monitoring; diabetic neuropathies. RESUMODesde 1994, o Centro de Treinamento e Pesquisa em Diabetes da Universidade de Michigan propôs um instrumento não ainda adaptado para uso no Brasil para mensurar neuropatias. O objetivo deste estudo foi adaptar transculturalmente o Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) para o Português brasileiro, verificando sua confiabilidade. Trinta pacientes diabéticos foram inicialmente avaliados pela versão adaptada depois de completados os passos essenciais para finalizar a adaptação transcultural. Vinte e dois deles completaram os procedimentos para repetir os escores medidos depois do dia 1 (ensaio 0). As medidas repetidas foram testadas nos dias 2 ou 3 (ensaio 1) por outro examinador (confiabilidade interexaminador) e retestadas no dia 20 (ensaio 2) por um dos examinadores participantes (confiabilidade interteste). Não existiam diferenças semânticas, linguísticas ou culturais entre as duas versões e excelente confiabilidade foi confirmada pelo coeficiente de correlação intra-classe acima de 0,840. Conclui-se que o MNSI na versão brasileira é confiável e está pronto para uso.Palavras-chave: diagnóstico; monitoramento; neuropatias diabéticas.

“…To date, seven tools were developed to differentiate NP from non-neuropathic pain, and three more to describe NP 8 . Among ten NP evaluation tools, four were translated and validated to Brazilian Portuguese [9][10][11][12] . This article aimed at describing tools developed for the initial evaluation of NP patients.…”

À minha querida orientadora Profa. Dra. Fátima Aparecida Emm Faleiros Sousa, que proporcionou o desenvolvimento desse trabalho. A Deus, pela minha existência, pelo dom da sabedoria, do entendimento e da ciência. Por guiar meus caminhos, iluminando-os e se fazendo presente em cada detalhe da vida, seja na luz de todo amanhecer, no orvalho e perfume das flores, em cada gota de chuva, nos cristais de neve, nas brisas suaves, nas tempestades, no gorjear dos pássaros, no barulho das ondas do mar, na maciez das areias dos desertos e no amor contagiante presente em cada ser que cruzou meus trilhos. À minha linda e amada família nuclear, meu rochedo e meu tudo. A minha mãe pela sua fortaleza, beleza, delicadeza, sensitividade, sabedoria, amizade, educação, compreensão e amor incondicional. Ao meu amável e doce pai, homem humilde, honesto, trabalhador, sensível, amigo, compreensível, brincalhão, alegre, companheiro e pai. Ao meu grande irmão, amoroso, amigo, bondoso, inteligente, educado e cativante. Com vocês tudo se torna mais leve e mais prazeroso. À toda equipe do laboratório de Psicofísica Clínica, cujos integrantes foram e são parceiros e irmãos. Minha gratidão e carinho a todos que passaram por lá. Em especial à Simone Saltareli amiga admirável, confiável, solícita e inteligente; ao Rodrigo Ramon amigo culto, confidente e sensível e a Hilze Benigno, amiga amável, benigna, sábia e justa.
