Kronik ağrı, sürekli nosiseptif aşırı duyarlılık ile tanımlanır ve 3 ve/veya 6 aydan uzun süredir devam eden ağrı olarak sınıflandırılır. Yaşanan ağrıların çoğu kas-iskelet sistemi patolojilerinden kaynaklanır. Genetik yapıda çok sayıda anomali, otonom sinir sistemi düzensizliği, disbiyozis, oksidatif stres, merkezi ve periferik duyarlılaşma, inhibitör kontrolün çekilmesi veya inhibisyonu, bozulmuş kas yapısı ve nörotransmitterlerdeki hipotalamik-hipofiz-adrenal aks, hormonlarındaki ve ağrı modülasyon merkezlerindeki değişiklikler kronik kas-iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıklarında ortaya çıkabilir, ancak kronikleşme hâlâ tam olarak açıklanamamıştır. Vagus sinirinin yetersiz işlevi mikrobiyotayı değiştirebilir ve çift yönlü etkileşim ile beraberce ağrının patofizyolojisinde rol oynayabilirler. Kronik ağrı sendromlarında, devamlılık gösteren ağrıya yanlış adaptasyon kalıpları gelişmiştir; subjektif ağrı, objektif doku hasarından sonra veya doku hasarı olmadan devam eder. Literatürde, disbiyozisin ağrının kronikleşmesine neden olabileceği belirtilmektedir, ancak vagus sinirinde olası sorunlardan yeterince bahsedilmemektedir. Vagus siniri, fonksiyonel düzensizliğinin bağırsaktaki disbiyozise neden olabileceğini veya katkıda bulunabileceğini ve nihayetinde ağrının kronikleşmesine yol açabileceğini öne sürüyoruz. Bu derlemede, kas-iskelet sistemi ile ilişkili kronik ağrı sendromlarında vagus siniri disfonksiyonu ve disbiyozisin eşlik ettiği, vagus siniri ve mikrobiyota arasındaki karşılıklı ilişkiye dikkat çekmeyi amaçladık.
Keywords: Autonomic nervous system; chronic pain; microbiota; vagus nerve
Chronic pain is defined by continuous nociceptive hypersensitivity and for more than 3 and/or 6 months duration, it is classified as longstanding pain. Most of the suffered pain is caused by musculoskeletal pathologies. Multiple anomalies in genetic structure, autonomic nervous system dysregulation, dysbiosis, oxidative stress, central and peripheral sensitization, the drawing reduction or inhibition of inhibitory control, altered muscular structure and changes in neurotransmitters, hypothalamic-hypophyseal-adrenal axe hormones, and pain modulation centers may occur in chronic musculoskeletal conditions but chronicity still remains not fully explained. Inadequate function of the vagus nerve may alter the microbiota and may be involved in the pathophysiology of pain with bidirectional interaction. In chronic pain syndromes, patterns of incorrect adaptation to ongoing pain have been developed; subjective pain persists after objective tissue damage or without tissue damage. In the literature, it is stated that dysbiosis can cause the pain to become chronic, but possible problems in the vagus nerve are not mentioned enough. We propose that vagus nerve function irregularity may cause or contribute to the dysbiosis in the gut and eventually may give rise to chronicity of the pain. In this review, we aimed to point out the possible crosstalking between the vagus nerve and microbiota accompanied by vagus nerve dysfunction and dysbiosis in chronic pain syndromes related to the musculoskeletal system.
