Abstract

Background and objectives: Chronic pain management requires a multifunctional approach implying physical, psychological, social and occupational support. The understanding of pain physiopathology and its evaluation are necessary to optimize the treatment. This study aimed at comprehensively evaluating the strongest predictors of quality of life through weekly data recorded in outpatient settings or at home to check practical and daily life activities.
Method: The following tools were applied: Wisconsin Pain Inventory, Mood Chart, McGill‘s Pain Questionnaire, Post- sleep Protocol and Generic quality of life questionnaire (Whoqol-bref).
Results: Physical activity, occupational performance and sleep patterns have shown better quality of life. The sensitivity to pain, fear avoidance and dependence on another person are responsible for the significant amount of variation in the proposed activities. These findings suggest that external sources of orientation, in addition to the internal ones, as avoiding the fear to pain, may serve to influence the physical and social behavior.
Conclusion: Chronic neuropathic pain should be evaluated taking into account its peculiarities of clinical, behavioral and social presentation, since such elements are critical for a positive evolution.
