Treatment of musculo-skeletal pain in haemophilia.

Abstract：

:Musculo-skeletal pain treatment is inadequate in many haemophilic patients. Analgesics are used only by 36% of adult patients. FVIII/FIX intravenous infusion is mainly used to lessen pain, followed in frequency by usage of NSAIDS (primarily COX-2 inhibitors). In about 30% of patients, pain continues after infusion of F VIII/IX. In acute haemarthroses pain treatment must continue until total disappearance (checked by ultrasonography) and include haematologic treatment, short-term rest of the involved joint, cryotherapy, joint aspiration and analgesic medication (paracetamol in mild pain, metamizole for more intense pain, and in a few precise patients, soft opioids such as codeine or tramadol). In the circumstance of intolerable pain we should use morphine hydrochloride either by continual infusion or a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump, determined by the age, mental condition and grade of observance of the patient. Epidural blocks utilizing bupivacaine and fentanyl may be very efficacious as well. Three main strategies to alleviate chronic musculo-skeletal pain secondary to haemophilic arthropathy (joint degeneration) exist: pharmacologic management, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and intra-articular injections. As for pharmacologic management, NSAIDs (ibuprofen, diclofenac, celecoxib, robecoxib) are better than paracetamol. The advantages of tramadol or tramadol/paracetamol and non-tramadol opioids are scanty. With respect to physical medicine and rehabilitation, there is insufficient confirmation that a brace has supplementary favourable effect compared with isolated pharmacologic management. Land-based curative exercise and watery exercise have at the minimum a tiny short-run benefit. Curative ultrasound can be helpful (poor quality of evidence). The efficacy of transcutaneous electrostimulation (TENS) for pain mitigation has not been proved. Electrical stimulation treatment can procure notable ameliorations. With respect to intra-articular injections, viscosupplementation appears to be a useful method for pain alleviation in the short-run (months). The short-run (weeks) advantage of intra-articular corticosteroids in the treatment of joint pain has been shown.
