Study of the Prevalence of Painful Symptoms of the Musculoskeletal System After Lung Transplantation

Respiratory Insufficiency

Pulmonary transplantation (PT) is a therapeutic option now accepted in the management of selected patients who have reached the irreversible and terminal stage of their chronic respiratory insufficiency. Its main indications are: cystic fibrosis and other bronchial diseases, emphysema , interstitial lung diseases with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in the foreground, and severe pulmonary hypertension. The evocation of osteo-articular and musculotendinous pain symptoms in the aftermath of PT is frequent and very diversified. These complications are poorly codified and hinder the rehabilitation and early resumption of physical activity and sports. Few data are available on this subject in the literature. Following transplantation, improvements in respiratory function, quality of life, and exercise capacity are observed, with large inter-individual variations; Patients are encouraged to resume physical activity, initially as part of a rehabilitation exercise. Among the factors limiting exercise, some have been more widely studied, such as muscular deconditioning related to pre-existing chronic respiratory insufficiency , prolonged stay in intensive care, side effects of transplant-related treatments (corticosteroids and immunosuppressants). Pain is also a factor limiting the recovery of physical activity and quality of life. Pain related directly to thoracotomy surgery has been explored but there is little data available on musculoskeletal pain. The purpose of this study is to better understand the musculoskeletal pain occurring in the aftermath of a lung transplantation. Conducting this study for a period of 1 year will allow you to move away from the immediate post-transplant time, and the pain associated with the transplant will no longer have any interference. The main objective of our study is to better know the prevalence of algic manifestations of the musculoskeletal system (osteo-articular, musculotendinous ...) occurring in the year following a TP, and may constitute a brake on the rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal system. effort and recovery of physical activity or sport.
