Abstract in Portuguese
INTRODUÇÃO: A osteoartrose (OA) é a doença articular mais prevalente no mundo, sendo também a principal causa de incapacidade funcional no idoso. Recentemente, foram demonstradas alterações na substância cinzenta (SC), tanto no volume total quanto em algumas áreas relacionadas à sensibilidade e percepção da dor em pacientes que vivenciam o impacto da dor crônica. Também foi observado que essas alterações cerebrais podem ser reversíveis quando o alívio da dor é obtido. OBJETIVOS: Comparar medidas do volume cerebral em pacientes com dor crônica por OA primária grave do joelho com controles saudáveis, por meio da análise da ressonância magnética cerebral (RM) por uma medida morfométrica baseada em voxel (VBM). MÉTODOS: Selecionamos 29 adultos com OA grave de joelho e 28 controles saudáveis. Todos os pacientes e controles foram submetidos à RM cerebral. As imagens foram processadas e analisadas por um método de VBM usando o programa SPM 8 (Statistical Parametric Mapping 8). Além do volume de SC total, foram avalidas as áreas selecionadas a priori: ínsula, córtex pré-frontal, córtex dorsolateral, córtex ventrolateral, córtex temporal, córtex parietal, cíngulo e tálamo. RESULTADOS: Observamos redução do volume da SC ao comparar pacientes com dor por OA de joelho vs. controles saudáveis, nas regiões da SC do cíngulo anterior direito (pfwe=0,021; pfwe=0,011 e pfwe=0,008); cíngulo anterio esquerdo (pfwe=0,013; pfwe=0,014 e pfwe=0,005); amigdala, hipocampo e giro parahipocampal direitos (pfwe=0,001, pfwe=0,007 e pfwe=0,014); amigdala, hipocampo e giro parahipocampal esquerdos (pfwe=0,045 e pfwe=0,026); precuneus direito (pfwe=0,029, pfwe=0,027 e pfwe=0,012) e ínsula direita (pfwe=0,042). Observamos aumento do volume da SC ao comparar pacientes com dor por OA de joelho vs. controles saudáveis no córtex orbitofontal direito (pfwe=0,011 e pfwe=0,006); córtex orbitorfontal esquerdo (pfwe=0,011) e córtex temporal superior direito (pfwe=0,003, pfwe=0,006 e pfwe=0,003) CONCLUSÃO: Há alterações volumétricas cerebrais em pacientes com dor relacionada à osteoartrose primária grave do joelho em comparação com controles saudáveis. Há menor volume da substância cinzenta no precuneus direito, cíngulo anterior bilateral; amigdala, hipocampo e giro hipocampal bilateral e insula direita nas pessoas com osteoartrose grave dos joelhos. Há aumento no córtex temporal superior direito e córtex orbitofrontal direito nas pessoas com osteoartrose grave dos joelhos. Não há diferenças na substancia cinzenta cerebral total

Abstract in English
INTRODUCTION: Osteoarthrosis (OA) is the most prevalent joint disease in the world, and also the main cause of functional disability. Recently, alterations in the gray matter (GM) have been demonstrated in the global GM volume and in areas related to the sensitivity and perception of pain in patients who experience the impact of chronic pain. It has also been observed that these brain changes may be reversible once pain relief is obtained OBJECTIVES: To compare brain volume measurements in patients with chronic pain due to knee OA with healthy controls, through brain magnetic resonance (MR) analysis by a voxel-based morphometric measure (VBM). METHODS: We selected a group of patients and a control group, being a group of 29 adults with severe knee OA and a group of 28 healthy controls. All patients and controls underwent MRI, and the images were processed and analyzed by a VBM method using the SPM 8 program (Statistical Parametric Mapping 8), with a priori areas selection and preparation (insula, prefrontal cortex, dorsolateral cortex, ventrolateral cortex, temporal cortex, parietal cortex, cingulate gyrus and thalamus), so that they could be analyzed comparatively. RESULTS: We observed a reduction in GM volume when comparing patients with knee OA pain vs. healthy controls, in the GM regions of the right anterior cingulate gyrus (pfwe=0.021; pfwe=0.011 and pfwe=0.008); left anterior cingulate gyrus (pfwe=0.013; pfwe=0.014 and pfwe=0.005); right amygdala, hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus (pfwe=0.001, pfwe=0.007 and pfwe=0.014); left amygdala, hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus (pfwe=0.045 and pfwe=0.026); right precuneus (pfwe=0.029, pfwe=0.027 and pfwe=0.012) and right insula (pfwe=0.042). We observed an increase in GM volume when comparing patients with knee OA pain vs. healthy controls in the right orbitofontal cortex (pfwe=0.011 and pfwe=0.006); left orbitorfontal cortex (pfwe=0.011) and right superior temporal cortex (pfwe=0.003, pfwe=0.006 and pfwe=0.003) CONCLUSION: There are changes in brain volume measurements in patients with severe primary knee OA compared with healthy controls. There is reduced GM volume at the right precuneus, bilateral anterior cingulate gyrus, amygdala, hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus and right insula in patients with knee OA. There is increased GM volume in the right superior temporal cortex and in the orbitorfontal córtex. There are no diferences in total GM volume between patients with knee OA and healthy controls
