Resumo: | Introduction Pain is a sensory and emotional experience that occurs with the presence of tissue injury, actual or potential. Pain is subjective, and its expression is primarily determined by the perceived intensity of the painful sensation, called the pain threshold. Objective To evaluate whether there are differences in pain threshold (LD) and time to pain perception (TPED) between the gender in different age groups and to analyze the correlation between age and pain threshold in each gender. Methods and procedures Participants were 60 volunteers divided into 6 groups (n = 10 each) according to gender and age (18–33, 34–49, and 50–64 years). The evaluation of perception and pain tolerance was performed by immersing the container with one hand in water at a temperature of 0 °C–2 °C; the latency to withdrawal of the hand from ice water was measured in seconds and was considered a measure of LD. The TPED was reported by each participant as the start time of the painful stimulus. Results We found differences between the LD for G1 (men aged between 18 and 33 years) and G2 (women aged 18 to 33 years) with greater LD for G1 (p = 0.0122) and greater LD for women (p = 0.0094); for other comparisons of LD and TPED, there were no differences (p > 0.05 for all comparisons). Low correlation was found between age progression with increased LD and the TPED only in men (p = 0.01 and r = 0.45 and p = 0.05 and r = 0.34, respectively). Conclusion We conclude that women have a higher pain threshold than men especially when these groups are aged between 18 and 33 years, and in men increasing age correlates with increased TPED and LD. |

A dor tem caráter subjetivo e sua exteriorização é determinada, principalmente, pela intensidade percebida da sensação dolorosa, chamada limiar de dor. Objetivo Avaliar se há diferença no limiar de dor (LM) e no tempo de percepção a dor (TPED) entre os sexos em diferentes faixas etárias, e analisar se há correlação entre faixa etária e limiar de dor em cada sexo. Métodos e procedimentos Fizeram parte do estudo 60 voluntários, divididos em 6 grupos (n = 10 cada) de acordo com o sexo e faixa etária (18 a 33, 34 a 49 e 50 a 64 anos). A avaliação da percepção e tolerância à dor foi realizada pela imersão da mão em um recipiente com água na temperatura de 0 °C–2 °C, a latência para retirada da mão da água gelada foi medida em segundos e considerada como medida do LD, o TPED foi relatado por cada participante como o instante de início do estímulo doloroso. Resultados Foram observadas diferenças entre o LD para os grupos G1 (homens com idade entre 18 e 33 anos) e G2 (mulheres com idade entre 18 e 33 anos), com maior LD para o G1 (p = 0,0122); e entre os sexos, maior LD para mulheres (p=0,0094), para as demais comparações do LD e do TPED não houve diferenças ( > 0,05 para todas as comparações). Foi encontrada baixa correlação entre progressão da idade com aumento do LD; quanto ao TPED, tal correlação foi detectada apenas nos homens (respectivamente p = 0,01 e r = 0,45; e p = 0,05 e r = 0,34). Conclusão Concluímos que as mulheres apresentam maior limiar doloroso que os homens, principalmente quando estes grupos estão com idade entre 18 e 33 anos; e que nos homens o aumento da idade se correlaciona tanto com o aumento do TPED quanto do LD.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)Unesp Faculty of Philosophy and ScienceUnesp Faculty of Philosophy and SciencesUnesp Faculty of Philosophy and Science Department of Special EducationUnesp Faculty of Philosophy and ScienceUnesp Faculty of Philosophy and SciencesUnesp Faculty of Philosophy and Science Department of Special EducationPontifícia Universidade Católica do ParanáUniversidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp)Nazaré, Marília Soares Leonel de [UNESP]Silva, José Adolfo Menezes Garcia [UNESP]Navega, Marcelo Tavella [UNESP]Fagnello-Navega, Flávia Roberta [UNESP]2015-02-02T12:39:22Z2015-02-02T12:39:22Z2014-03-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article77-84application/pdfhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0103-5150.027.001.AO08Fisioterapia em Movimento.
