Introdução
A fisiopatologia da enxaqueca está fortemente associada à sensibilização central, cuja presença está relacionada à alodínia cutânea e à disfunção musculoesquelética cervical. No entanto, esses aspectos permanecem pouco estudados em crianças e adolescentes. Assim, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as diferenças nas variáveis clínicas, na sensibilização e nas alterações musculoesqueléticas entre crianças (CR) e adolescentes (AD) com enxaqueca, considerando a presença ou ausência de alodínia cutânea.
Métodos
Cento e um participantes com idades entre 6 e 16 anos e diagnóstico clínico de enxaqueca foram avaliados. Os desfechos incluíram amplitude de movimento cervical (ADM), limiar de dor à pressão (LDP) dos músculos craniocervicais e presença de alodínia cutânea.
Resultados
Diferenças significativas foram observadas entre RC e AD para idade (p<0,001) e LDP dos músculos esternocleidomastoideo (p=0,002), levantador da escápula (p=0,006), suboccipital (p=0,006), trapézio (p<0,001) e escaleno anterior (p<0,001). Os subgrupos RC e AD com e sem alodínia apresentaram diferenças significativas nos LDP dos músculos esternocleidomastoideo (p=0,020), levantador da escápula (p=0,016), suboccipital (p=0,038), trapézio (p<0,001), escaleno anterior (p<0,001) e na amplitude de movimento cervical no plano sagital (p=0,016). As principais diferenças foram observadas entre adolescentes e crianças com e sem alodínia. Não foram encontradas diferenças entre os subgrupos de crianças e adolescentes.
Conclusão
A presença de alodínia cutânea está associada ao aumento da sensibilidade muscular e à redução da mobilidade sagital cervical. Esses achados destacam a importância da avaliação precoce da alodínia e da sensibilidade musculoesquelética em crianças e adolescentes com enxaqueca.
