چکیده

Objective : to evaluate pain in patients with lower limb venous ulcer who used non-adherent Ibuprofen foam dressing (IFD). Methods : we conducted a prospective study of patients with lower limb venous ulcers treated from April 2013 to August 2014. We used the Numerical Scale and McGill Pain Questionnaire, performing the assessments at the moment of inclusion of the patient in the study and every eight days thereafter, totaling five consultations. We divided the patients into two groups: 40 in the Study Group (SG), who were treated with IFD, and 40 in the Control Group (CG), treated with primary dressing, according to tissue type and exudate. Results : at the first consultation, patients from both groups reported intense pain. On the fifth day, SG patients reported no pain and the majority of CG reported moderate pain. Regarding the McGill Pain Questionnaire, most patients of both groups reported sensations related to sensory, affective, evaluative and miscellaneous descriptors at the beginning of data collection; after the second assessment, there was slight improvement among the patients in the SG. After the third consultation, they no longer reported the mentioned descriptors. CG patients displayed all the sensations of these descriptors until the fifth visit. Conclusion : non-adherent Ibuprofen foam dressing is effective in reducing the pain of patients with venous ulcers. Objetivo: avaliar a dor em pacientes portadores de úlcera venosa de membros inferiores que utilizaram curativo de espuma não aderente com Ibuprofeno (CEI). Métodos: estudo prospectivo de pacientes portadores de úlceras venosas de membros inferiores tratados no período de abril de 2013 a agosto de 2014. Foram utilizados os questionários Escala Numérica e Questionário de Dor de McGille, as avaliações eram feitas no momento da inclusão do paciente no estudo e a cada oito dias, totalizando cinco consultas.

Resultados: na primeira consulta os pacientes de ambos os grupos relataram dor intensa. No quinto dia os pacientes do GE relataram ausência de dor e a maioria do GC relatou dor moderada. Com relação ao Questionário de Dor de McGill, a maioria dos pacientes de ambos os grupos, no início da coleta de dados, relataram sensações relacionadas aos descritores sensorial, afetivo, avaliativo e miscelânea, sendo que entre os pacientes do GE houve discreta melhora após a segunda consulta. Após a terceira consulta já não referiram os descritores citados. Os pacientes do GC manifestaram todas as sensações desses descritores até quinta a consulta. Conclusão: o curativo de espuma não aderente com Ibuprofeno é eficaz na redução da dor de pacientes portadores de úlceras venosas.
