“…Studies show that 51.8% of elderly people who experience pain have their activities of daily living impaired, worsening quality of life and self-perception of health. 8,9 The use of anti-inflammatories and analgesics was associated with seniors who reported suffering from liver disease. This is worrying, as the use of these drugs should be treated with caution in patients with liver problems.…”

“…8 It is estimated that 80 to 85% of individuals older than 65 years have at least one significant health problem that predisposes them to pain. 9 Pain involves sensory, cognitive and emotional components, which can often be treated by non-pharmacological means through the support of a multidisciplinary team. Treatment with anti-inflammatory medications or pain relievers, however, is still the most commonly used technique.…”

The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of the use of anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs among elderly persons from the Family Health Program in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, and investigate associated factors such as sociodemographic and health data; continuous or as needed use of drug, drug used subject to medical prescription or self-medicated. Data collection occurred between March 2011 and December 2012. Community health workers applied a questionnaire relating to sociodemographic and health data and medication use. Non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs, glucocorticoids, non-opioid analgesics and opioids were evaluated. A total of 758 elderly persons were included and anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs were used by 28.8% of the population. Acetaminophen and ibuprofen were the most frequently used drugs. Regarding self-perception of health, the worse the perception of health, the greater was the use of therapy ( p<0.001). Liver disease and osteoarthritis/ arthritis/rheumatism were found to be associated with anti-inflammatory and analgesic use ( p<0.001). The prevalence of anti-inflammatory and analgesic use was considered moderate when compared to previous studies (28.8%). In addition, most of the elderly persons used the drugs when only needed, most probably due to feeling minor to moderate pain or because they had suffered the adverse effects of these medications in the past and so chose to use them sporadically.

RESUMOIntrodução: A dor é uma experiência subjetiva, que pode resultar de características teciduais, mas que também abrange fatores de várias ordens, incluindo os emocionais, culturais e individuais. A dor crônica é persistente ou recorrente, por mais de 3 meses, de causa desconhecida e não está necessariamente associada a uma lesão no organismo. Os gastos associados a essa condição de saúde estimulam o sistema a investigar intervenções eficazes para o tratamento das dores em geral. O fenômeno da analgesia induzida pelo exercício é sobretudo observado em atletas e os mecanismos envolvidos ainda são desconhecidos, embora haja tendência a aceitar a ação do sistema opióide endógeno. Objetivo: Investigar o efeito de um programa de exercícios físicos sobre a dor crônica inespecífica. Método: A amostra foi constituída por 29 indivíduos que aderiram a um programa de exercícios domiciliares. Sendo aplicado o Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ) que permite estimar o tempo semanal gasto em atividades físicas de intensidade leve, moderada e vigorosa e a Escala Visual Analógica (EVA) que foi utilizada para avaliar a intensidade da dor. A análise estatística foi realizada de forma descritiva e inferencial. Conclusão: A aplicação de programas multidisciplinares, predominando a prescrição de exercícios aeróbicos, de fortalecimento e alongamentos, em um protocolo de exercícios domiciliares apresentou melhora efetiva no limiar de dor em paciente com dor crônica inespecífica.Palavras chave: dor crônica, exercício, medicina do esporte. ABSTRACT Introduction: Pain is a subjective experience, which can result from tissue characteristics, but which also includes factors of various types, such as emotional, cultural and individual factors. Chronic pain is defined as persistent or recurrent pain, lasting for more than 3 months, of unknown cause, and not necessarily associated with a bodily injury. The costs associated with this health condition have prompted the system to investigate effective interventions for the treatment of pain in general. The phenomenon of exercise-induced analgesia is mainly observed in athletes
