Abstract

Spasticity plus syndrome (SSP) is a clinical diagnosis based on the presence of a compendium of symptoms that has been suggested recently in patients with demyelinating disease. Using this diagnosis might help to avoid polimedication and to offer a better symptomatology management in long-term patients.

Objective

The aim of this study is to retrospectively analyze the number of cases compatible with a SSP diagnostic in our nurse clinical-consultancy.

Methodology

We analyzed a time-window from 2002 till 2022 and we included cases compatible with SSP at those 2 time-points as well as the number of symptomatic treatments prescribed also in both time-points.

Results

All cases in the databased were compatible with SSP and also associated pain (90%), rigidity (83.3%), fatigue (75%) and bladder problems (43.3%). An increase in symptomatic treatments was stated (from 1.4 to 3.9 at the end of the temporal window of analysis), and THC:CBD was prescribed in 88.9% of them. There was no correlation between number of symptoms at the beginning and number of symptomatic treatments at the end of the time-window. No correlation either was found between number of symptomatic treatments and physical disability.

Conclusions

SSP is relatively easy to be diagnosed in our consultancy and it should be more frequently stated as it will offer the opportunity to individual management of symptoms and treatments for our patients that could impact their quality of life in the long-term.

Resumen

El síndrome de spasticity plus (SSP) es un conglomerado de síntomas clínicos que se ha propuesto recientemente como una opción diagnóstica en pacientes con enfermedad desmielinizante. Su diagnóstico puede ayudar a evitar la polimedicación en estos pacientes y a mejorar la gestión de la sintomatología a largo plazo.

Objetivo

Realizar un estudio retrospectivo para identificar el número de pacientes de la consulta de enfermería que podrían ser compatibles con el SSP, analizando una ventana temporal desde el 2002 hasta el 2022.

Métodos

Se registraron los síntomas compatibles con SSP al inicio y al final de la ventana temporal, así como el número de tratamientos sintomáticos que se pautaron en ambos momentos.

Resultados

En el 100% de los casos analizados se cumplían criterios de SSP, asociando a la espasticidad el dolor (90%), rigidez (83,3%), fatiga (75%) y trastornos de vejiga (43,3%). El número de tratamientos aumentó con el tiempo, de 1,4 a 3,9 de media; el THC:CBD fue uno de los más frecuentemente utilizados (88,9% lo utilizó). No se ha encontrado correlación entre el número de síntomas registrados al inicio y el número de tratamientos sintomáticos registrados al final del periodo de análisis, ni tampoco entre el número de tratamientos y la discapacidad física.

Conclusiones

El SSP es fácilmente detectable en la consulta y debería ser más e diagnosticado con más frecuencia para proporcionar al paciente una gestión individualizada de sus síntomas, con tratamientos a medio y largo plazo que mejoren su calidad de vida.
