RESUMEN: Introducción: La Esclerosis Lateral Amiotrófica (ELA) es una enfermedad neurológica que se caracteriza por la degeneración y pérdida progresiva de las motoneuronas superior e inferior del sistema nervioso central (SNC). El dolor en la ELA es un síntoma menospreciado, debido a una concepción equivocada de la enfermedad como síndrome puramente motor y aunque en la última década, varios estudios se han centrado en el tema, la prevalencia de dolor en el paciente de ELA aún no está clara. Objetivo: El objetivo principal del estudio es dar visibilidad al dolor en la ELA, investigar sobre su influencia en la calidad de vida y determinar entre otras su localización y características, con el fin de impulsar el tratamiento y estudio en torno a este. Metodología: Se recoge información de 60 afectados a través de un cuestionario de elaboración propia en la plataforma Google Forms y se lleva a cabo un análisis de cada una de las variables estudiadas. Resultados: El 90% de los participantes sufren dolor y este aumenta progresivamente a medida que avanza la enfermedad, afectando a las AVDs. Se localiza de una forma más significativa en las extremidades y la fisioterapia se valora como una herramienta útil para su disminución. Conclusión y discusión: Se debe prestar especial atención a los síntomas de dolor y coordinar tratamientos pertinentes para aliviar estos, además de desarrollar herramientas o parámetros para su detección y tipificación en cada una de las fases de la enfermedad.
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurological disease characterized by progressive degeneration and loss of upper and lower motor neurons of the central nervous system (CNS). Pain in ALS is an underappreciated symptom, due to a misconception of the disease as a purely motor syndrome and although in the last decade, several studies have focused on the subject, the prevalence of pain in the ALS patient is still unclear. Objective: The main objective of the study is to give visibility to pain in ALS, investigate about its influence on quality of life and determine among others its location and characteristics to promote treatment and study. Material and Methods: Information was collected from 60 patients through a self-made questionnaire in the Google Forms platform and a descriptive analysis of each of the studied variables was carried out. Results: 90% of the participants suffer from pain, which increases progressively as the disease progresses, affecting ADL. It is located more significantly in the extremities and physiotherapy is valued as a useful tool for its reduction. Conclusion and discussion: Special attention should be given to pain symptoms and relevant treatments should be coordinated to alleviate these, in addition, developing tools or parameters for their detection in each of the phases of the disease will be interesting.
