Introduction: Human T-Cell Lymphotropic Virus (HTLV) is a sexually transmitted retrovirus that can cause chronic pain of moderate to high intensity, spasticity and weakness in the lower limbs, balance, gait, urinary and sexual dysfunctions. Physiotherapy is a treatment that has been shown to be effective in improving symptoms and signs. However, research on the topic is scarce. Objective: Outline the research scenario in Physiotherapy aimed at people infected with HTLV-1. Methods: Scientometric study carried through Medline, Virtual Health Library, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases. The metadata regarding the studies were tabulated and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The VOS.Viewer software was used for the analysis of quotes. Clinical studies were also analyzed considering meta-scientific impacts including analysis of conflicts of interest and methodological biases. Results: Initially 1160 studies were identified. After applying the eligibility criteria, 68 articles remained, of which 34 articles were observational studies, 21 on intervention, 9 on review, two on qualitative research and two on diagnostic accuracy. Brazil is responsible for 94.11% of the production on the theme. The sub-areas of Physiotherapy covered by the studies were neurofunctional and urogenital, using different exercise modalities, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, biofeedback and non-invasive neuromodulation. Conclusion: On the topic of Physiotherapy for people with HTLV-1, Brazil occupies a prominent place in scientific production. Research on the subject receives little or no funding, requiring free of charge publications in journals, which affects its visibility.

“…Several reports have suggested that rheumatologic manifestations, such as arthralgia and lower back pain, have been observed in HTLV1 carriers [ 69 , 70 ]. Complaints of pain seem to be common among HTLV-1-infected individuals, regardless of neurological manifestations associated with HAM/TSP [ 71 ]. An epidemiologic systematic review and meta-analysis indicated an association between HTLV-1 infection and rheumatologic disorders, such as fibromyalgia and arthropathy, in HTLV-1 carriers [ 16 ].…”

Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the causative agent of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). The effects of HTLV-1 on health are not fully elucidated. Epidemiological studies have shown that the prevalence of HTLV-1 infection is high in patients with rheumatic diseases. The prevalence of comorbidities, such as Sjögren’s syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is higher in patients with HAM/TSP than the in general population. Studies have shown the effects of HTLV-1-infection on the clinical course of RA. Major questions on the association between HTLV-1 infection and RA: (1) Is it possible that HTLV-1 infection causes RA? (2) Do patients with RA who are infected with HTLV-1 have different clinical features? (3) Are immunosuppressants associated with an increased prevalence of HAM/TSP or ATL in RA patients with HTLV-1 infection? Is ATL an immunosuppressive therapy-associated lymphoproliferative disorder? No large-scale studies have investigated the incidence of ATL in patients with RA. However, several studies have reported the development of ATL in patients with RA who have HTLV-1 infection. This review aimed to shed light on the association between HTLV-1 infection and RA and summarize the unmet medical needs of RA patients with HTLV-1 infection.

“…Tropical spastic paraparesis is a chronic disease in which pain is frequent, and it has been previously demonstrated that patients suffering from it generally have depressive and anxiety symptoms associated with chronic pain 4 . Therefore, the participant's psychiatric condition would influence the measurement of the questions' variables.…”

Factors associated with pain in individuals infected by human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1)

Abstract: The use of self-medication, physiotherapy and the presence of depression are independently associated with neurological symptoms in HTLV-1 infected patients. Religious practice and physical activity are both protective for the development of pain.
