O estudo teve como objetivos verificar a ocorrência de cefaleia como a principal dor e caracterizar essa experiência e o prejuízo causado por ela nas atividades cotidianas de estudantes universitárias de enfermagem. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, realizado na Faculdade de Enfermagem da Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, GO, Brasil, de maio a junho de 2008, com 203 estudantes, (idade média de 21 anos; d.p.=1,8), 48,5% da classe econômica A. A cefaleia foi a principal dor para 34,5% das universitárias; de forte intensidade; descrita como latejante (74,3%), pontada (62,9%) e enjoada (55,7%); com episódios à tarde (52,9%), com duração de algumas horas do dia (51,4%). Os fatores relacionados ao início da dor foram: os estudos (17,1%) e o estresse (11,4 %) e as atividades mais prejudicadas: a capacidade de concentração (84,3%) e o humor (84,3%) (p<0,05). A cefaleia é menos frequente nesta população comparada a estudos realizados em outros países e prejudica as atividades cotidianas das universitárias.

“…Self-report pain assessment tools Pain assessment tools such as numerical and verbal rating scales are simple to administer and attempt to make the pain experience 'measureable' by categorizing and quantifying aspects of the experience. These tools have been used in research settings to measure changes in intra-individual pain across time (Defrin, Grunhaus, Zamir, & Zeilig, 2007;McCaffrey & Freeman, 2003), and distinguish between different types of pain (Crawford, 2009;Dubuisson & Melzack, 1976). However, it is not clear that these tools necessarily provide more detailed or useful information than would be obtained from verbal self-report.…”

“…This normally athletic woman had guarded ambulation due to pain that she described as severe and debilitating. Initial visual analog scale [15][16][17] for pain was 59 out of 100; and her low back Oswestry Disability Index [18][19][20][21] was 55 out of 100, indicating severe disability. 18 She demonstrated a mild to moderate left antalgic stance with obvious distress when arising from a seated position.…”

Objective: The purpose of this report is to describe chiropractic treatment of lower back and unilateral leg pain in a pregnant patient. Clinical Features: A 26-year-old woman in her second trimester of pregnancy had severe pain in her lower back that radiated to her hips bilaterally and to her right leg. She reported tingling down her right lower leg to the dorsum of her foot. Although no diagnostic imaging was performed, her differential diagnoses included lumbalgia with associated radiculopathy. Intervention and Outcome: Treatment consisted of manual traction in the side-lying position using a specialized chiropractic table and treatment technique (Cox flexion-distraction decompression) modified for pregnancy. Relief was noted after the first treatment, and complete resolution of her subjective and objective findings occurred after 8 visits. Conclusion: When modified, this chiropractic technique appears to be an effective method for treating lower back pain with radiation to the leg in a pregnant patient who cannot lie prone.
