Abstract

ObjectiveThis research investigates the associations between Dry Eye Disease (DED), pain perception, and mental health, focusing on how neuropathic pain influences treatment efficacy and patients' quality of life.Methods and ResultsThe study delves into the complexity of DED by assessing the correlation between ocular pain, depression, PTSD, and systemic pain conditions. It highlights the role of chronic neuropathic pain in DED and the nociceptive hypothesis, which suggests that psychological stress can exacerbate DED symptoms. Additionally, it explores diagnostic and management strategies for DED, emphasizing the importance of considering psychological aspects to improve patient care.ConclusionsThe intricate nature of DED, closely linked to mental health issues, requires a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach. Addressing neuropathic pain and psychological factors is crucial for effective DED management. Future efforts should focus on developing specific interventions targeting DED's physical and emotional impacts to enhance overall patient well-being.

眼表不适的精神负担。
目的:探讨干眼病(DED)、疼痛感知和心理健康之间的关系,重点研究神经性疼痛对治疗效果和患者生活质量的影响。方法和结果:本研究通过评估眼痛、抑郁、创伤后应激障碍和全身疼痛状况之间的相关性,深入探讨了DED的复杂性。它强调了慢性神经性疼痛在DED中的作用和伤害性假说,这表明心理应激可加剧DED症状。此外,它还探讨了DED的诊断和管理策略,强调了考虑心理方面以改善患者护理的重要性。结论:DED的复杂性质与心理健康问题密切相关,需要综合诊断和治疗方法。解决神经性疼痛和心理因素是有效治疗DED的关键。未来的工作应侧重于开发针对DED的身体和情绪影响的具体干预措施,以提高患者的整体幸福感。
