184th ENMC international workshop: Pain and fatigue in neuromuscular disorders☆
نویسندگان
چکیده
This European Neuromuscular Centre (ENMC) care workshop was attended by 19 professionals working in the field of neuromuscular disorders (pediatric and adult), pain or fatigue from 8 different countries (USA, Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands), and 3 patient representatives coming from the Netherlands. This ENMC organized workshop aimed to achieve consensus on the definition of pain and fatigue in NMD, to define a core set of measurement instruments for pain and fatigue in NMD, and to discuss possible interventions. Prior to the workshop, all participants received a questionnaire on the assessment instruments and interventions that they regularly used to, respectively, assess and treat pain and fatigue. Two experts on (chronic) pain and fatigue in general (Henriët van Middendorp and Hans Knoop) were invited to present an overview of definitions, mechanisms, and measurement instruments for pain and fatigue. Next to that, several participants presented data on the prevalence of pain and fatigue in the various NMD populations. Through group discussions with all participants, consensus was reached on the definition and core set of measurement instruments (to be used)/for use in future research and clinical practice in NMD.
