“…Gender and age differences regarding pain in PPS have been reported: women had more pain and the younger the patients were the more the pain involved negative stress experiences [8]. These gender and age differences have been confirmed in other studies [9][10][11][12]. In fact, the risk of developing PPS has been reported to be higher in females than in males [1] and female gender has been reported as a predictive factor for developing pain in PPS patients [10].…”

“…One must, however, take into consideration that the gender difference regarding pain might not be associated with PPS. Pain is generally more often found in women than in men [20,21], and this is also found to be the case in PPS patients [2,7,[9][10][11]. Furthermore, health related quality of life when evaluated by means of SF-36 is lower for women than men, including Bodily Pain.…”

“…In fact, the risk of developing PPS has been reported to be higher in females than in males [1] and female gender has been reported as a predictive factor for developing pain in PPS patients [10]. Furthermore, greater weakness at acute polio stages and weaker lower extremity muscle strength were reported as predictive and associated factors for joint pain in PPS patients [10]. Pain was found to affect quality of life in PPS patients and interfered with daily life [13].…”

The purpose of this study was to analyze pain, both nociceptive and neuropathic, in patients with post-polio syndrome (PPS) and relate the pain to age at the initial polio infection, age at examination, to gender and disability. The study was conducted in a university hospital department. Patients with PPS were interviewed at their regular visits about pain, its character, intensity and localization. A clinical examination, including a thorough neurological examination, was performed. Data included age at time of polio infection, age at time of examination and gender. Pain intensity was measured with the VAS-scale and walking capability by the WISCI-scale. One hundred sixty-three (88 women, 75 men) patients were included in the study. Pain was present in 109 (67%). Pain was more frequently reported by women (82%) than by men (49%). 96 patients experienced nociceptive pain, 10 patients both neuropathic and nociceptive pain and three experienced pure neuropathic pain. Half of the patients with pain experienced pain in more than one body region. When neuropathic pain was present, another additional neurological disorder was diagnosed. Pain was more often found in younger patients (around 70%) than in older patients (around 50%). In summary pain is common in patients with PPS and most patients experienced nociceptive pain. Women have pain more often than men. Older patients experience pain more seldom than younger patients. Age at time of primary polio infection is important for the development of pain. When neuropathic pain is present, it is important to proceed with neurological examination to find an adequate diagnosis.

“…Sie resultieren meist durch die Arthrose als Folge der durch die Paresen bedingten Fehlbelastungen, Gelenkinstabilitäten durch die Atrophie bedingte Insuffizienz der muskulären Führung oder durch Überbeanspruchung [30,51].Frauen berichten häufiger über Muskel-und Gelenkscherzen. Je stärker die Paresen ausgeprägt sind, desto häufiger werden Schmerzen berichtet [9,52].Obwohl Frauen häufiger über somatische Beschwerden klagen, sind Männer sozial häufiger isoliert [9].Insbesondere die Residualparesen nach durchgemachter Kinderläh-mung führen zu einer Überbeanspru-chung der Gelenke und der Bandstrukturen. Zusätzlich führen oft Skoliose, Fehlhaltungen und Fehlbelastungen der Gelenke zu Schmerzen,die wiederum als Circulus vitiosus die Mobilität beeinträchti-gen und die neu aufgetretenen Paresen Originalien im Rahmen des Postpolio-Syndroms aggravieren.Dies führt wiederum zur Schonung und damit zur Verstärkung der Muskelatrophie.…”

Postpolio syndrome is defined as a clinical syndrome of new pareses in individuals who had been affected by acute paralytic poliomyelitis years before. The objective of this study was to describe neurologic and psychiatric signs of the disease. We evaluated the clinical signs and treatment of 16 patients with postpolio syndrome. Possible symptoms of depression were evaluated by the Hamilton and Geriatric Depression Scales. Postpolio syndrome manifested at a median age of 57.5 years (range 25-73) in a median of 41 years (range 16-70 years) after acute poliomyelitis. Muscles already affected during acute poliomyelitis were affected in all patients with postpolio syndrome. Six of 16 patients (37.5%) developed paresis in muscles formerly not affected by acute poliomyelitis. In eight of 15 patients (53%), depressive episodes were recognized according to the ICD-10 criteria. Symptoms of depression should be recognized in patients with postpolio syndrome and incorporated in therapy based on physiotherapy.

“…Similarly, pain was the most common complaint in a sample of 875 post-polio persons, occurring in 79% of those surveyed (Yarnell, 2000). With regard to pain intensity, persons with PPS have reported levels of pain severity significantly higher than national norms on the bodily pain subscale of the SF-36 (Vasiliadis et al, 2002). They have also documented that women with PPS may be more likely to experience pain, or may experience more severe pain than men with PPS.…”
