Resumo
Objetivo
Apresentar as características clínicas, epidemiológicas e socioeconômicas de indivíduos com sintomas de síndrome do túnel do carpo (STC) e depressão.
Métodos
O Inventário de Depressão de Beck (IDB) foi administrado a 100 pacientes diagnosticados com STC e sua relação entre ansiedade e depressão foi investigada juntamente com as características sociodemográficas dos pacientes.
Resultados
A depressão foi identificada em 30,9% dos 68 pacientes, em sua maioria mulheres. As pontuações no IDB foram significativamente maiores em pacientes com condição socioeconômica baixa, má nutrição e tabagismo (p < 0,05). Além disso, a frequência de sintomas depressivos foi significativamente maior em pacientes com dor lombar e cervical crônica além da STC, com uso regular de analgésicos e que já haviam sido submetidos a alguma cirurgia (p < 0,05).
Conclusão
Depressão e ansiedade são prevalentes entre indivíduos diagnosticados com STC. O tratamento eficaz, incluindo o controle da depressão e ansiedade comórbidas, é crucial para bons desfechos.
Abstract
Objective
To present the clinical, epidemiological and socioeconomic characteristics of individuals with symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and depression.
Methods
The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was administered to 100 patients diagnosed with CTS, and its relationship between anxiety and depression was investigated alongside the sociodemographic characteristics of the patients.
Results
Depression was identified in 30.9% of the 68 patients, the majority of whom were women. The BDI scores were found to be significantly higher in patients with low socioeconomic status, poor nutrition, and smoking (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the frequency of depressive symptoms was found to be significantly higher in patients who had chronic low back and neck pain along with CTS, with regular use of analgesics, and who had previously undergone any surgery (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
Depression and anxiety are prevalent among individuals diagnosed with CTS. Effective treatment, including the management of comorbid depression and anxiety, is crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
