Association Between the Plasma Levels of Mediators of Inflammation With Pain and Disability in the Elderly With Acute Low Back Pain: Data From the Back Complaints in the Elders (BACE)-Brazil Study
Bárbara Zille de Queiroz,Daniele Sirineu Pereira,Renata Antunes Lopes,Diogo Carvalho Felício,Juscélio P. Silva,Nayza Maciel de Britto Rosa,João Marcos Domingues Dias,Rosângela Corrêa Dias,Lygia Paccini Lustosa,Leani Souza Máximo Pereira +9 more
TL;DR: These results demonstrate associations between inflammatory markers (TNF-&agr; and sTNFR1) and pain severity, IL-6 was associated with the qualities of pain, and TNF- &agR; was also associated with disability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional performance and plasma cytokine levels in elderly women with and without low back pain
Bárbara Zille de Queiroz,Daniele Sirineu Pereira,Nayza Maciel de Britto Rosa,Renata Antunes Lopes,Diogo Carvalho Felício,Danielle Aparecida Gomes Pereira,João Marcos Domingues Dias,Rosângela Corrêa Dias,Leani Souza Máximo Pereira +8 more
TL;DR: Elderly women with LBP had the highest sTNF-R1 plasma levels and the worst functional performance compared to elderly women with reports of other pain (not LBP, or no pain), and no difference was found between the IL-6 plasma levels in any of the groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of falls in Brazilian elders with and without low back pain assessed using the Physiological Profile Assessment: BACE study.
Nayza Maciel de Britto Rosa,Bárbara Zille de Queiroz,Renata Antunes Lopes,Natalia Sampaio,Daniele Sirineu Pereira,Leani Souza Máximo Pereira +5 more
TL;DR: Elders with LBP have greater risk for falls than those without LBP, and fall-risk screening may be sensible in elders with L BP, the results suggest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale for acute low back pain
Renata Antunes Lopes,R. C. Dias,Bárbara Zille de Queiroz,Nayza Maciel de Britto Rosa,Leani Souza Máximo Pereira,João Marcos Domingues Dias,Lívia de Castro Magalhães +6 more
TL;DR: The goals were to cross-culturally adapt the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, assess the construct validity through Rasch analysis, and verify reliability and convergent validity of pain catastrophizing with psychosocial factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammatory Mediators and Pain in the First Year After Acute Episode of Low-Back Pain in Elderly Women: Longitudinal Data from Back Complaints in the Elders-Brazil.
Bárbara Zille Queiroz,Daniele Sirineu Pereira,Nayza Maciel de Britto Rosa,Renata Antunes Lopes,André Gustavo Pereira de Andrade,Diogo Carvalho Felício,Renata Muniz Freire Vinhal Siqueira Jardim,Amanda Aparecida Oliveira Leopoldino,Juscélio P. Silva,Leani Souza Máximo Pereira +9 more
TL;DR: The findings showed a relationship between inflammation and LBP by establishing that low IL-6 plasma levels preceded outcome (LBP recovery), supporting the concept that proinflammatory cytokines promote pain.
