Resumo

Objetivo: Identificar a presença de sintomas vocais e dor musculoesquelética em não profissionais da voz, verificar se há relação entre essas variáveis e comparar o desempenho entre mulheres e homens.

Métodos: Estudo transversal observacional. Participaram 59 indivíduos não profissionais da voz. Os dados foram coletados no meio on-line e aplicou-se questionário de caracterização e os seguintes protocolos de autoavaliação: Escala de Sintomas Vocais e Questionário de Investigação da Dor Musculoesquelética. Foi realizada análise estatística descritiva. A estatística inferencial comparou as variáveis entre mulheres e homens e realizou-se análise de correlação entre as variáveis de ambos os protocolos de autoavaliação por meio do teste de Spearman.

Resultados: Para todo o grupo estudado, observaram-se valores médios do escore total da Escala de Sintomas Vocais acima do ponto de corte do questionário, indicando risco para disfonia. Houve presença de dor nas regiões avaliadas, porém, em frequência baixa e intensidade leve. Verificou-se correlação positiva entre a frequência de dor nas regiões de pescoço, temporal, abaixo do queixo e laringe/garganta e a Escala de Sintomas Vocais. Mulheres apresentaram maior frequência de dor nos ombros, na região temporal e na laringe, quando comparadas aos homens.

Conclusão: A população de não profissionais da voz deste estudo apresentou escores elevados de sintomas de alteração vocal. A dor musculoesquelética foi pouco presente, com intensidade leve, porém, mais frequente em mulheres nas regiões próximas à laringe. Houve relação entre os sintomas vocais e a dor musculoesquelética, especialmente nas regiões proximais à laringe, de maneira que quanto maior a frequência da dor, maior a presença de sintomas vocais.

Abstract

Purpose: To identify the presence of vocal symptoms and musculoskeletal pain in non-professional voice users, to verify whether there is a relationship between such variables, and to compare women and men.

Methods: Crosssectional, observational study. Fifty-nine non-professional voice users (NPVU) were included. The data were collected on-line. A characterization questionnaire and self-assessment protocols were applied: Voice Symptoms Scale (VoiSS) and Musculoskeletal Pain Investigation Questionnaire (MPI). A descriptive statistical analysis was performed. The inferential statistics compared the variables between women and men and a correlation analysis was carried out between the VoiSS and MPI using the Spearman correlation test.

Results: For the entire studied group , mean values of the total VoiSS score were observed above the cut-off point, indicating risk for dysphonia. There was musculoskeletal pain in the regions assessed, but at low frequency and mild intensity. Women had a higher frequency of pain in the shoulders, temporal region and larynx, when compared to men. There was a positive correlation between the pain frequency in the regions: neck, temporal region, below the chin and larynx/throat in all or some of MPI scores.

Conclusion: The NPVU population in this study presented with high scores for signs and symptoms of voice disorders. Musculoskeletal pain was rarely present, with mild intensity, but more frequent in women in regions close to the larynx. There was a relationship between vocal symptoms and musculoskeletal pain, especially in regions proximal to the larynx, so that the greater the frequency of pain, the greater the presence of vocal symptoms.
