BACKGROUND: Pain is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).
OBJECTIVE: We sought to identify pain management therapies used in HS and assess patient-perceived effectiveness.
METHODS: An anonymous online survey was posted to Facebook HS support groups. Participants selected all that applied from a list of 20 therapies to indicate which ones they have tried for HS pain. For each therapy used, participants were asked to rate effectiveness on a 5-point scale: not successful (1), mildly successful (2), moderately successful (3), very successful (4), and extremely successful (5). Mean effectiveness ratings were calculated by averaging the corresponding numbers.
RESULTS: Of the 438 participants, 93.8% were female. Participants classified themselves as Hurley stage I (8.2%), II (53.4%), and III (38.4%). Warm compresses were the most commonly used therapy (82.4%), followed by ibuprofen/naproxen (74.7%), Epsom salt baths (57.8%), cold compresses (45.4%), and acetaminophen (44.7%). Marijuana smoking received the highest mean effectiveness rating (2.92 ± 1.10), followed by marijuana edibles (2.87 ± 1.10), and opioids (2.83 ± 0.98). Mean effectiveness ratings were lowest for bleach baths (1.52 ± 0.80), sitz baths (1.53 ± 0.56), massage (1.61 ± 0.92), gabapentin (1.64 ± 0.73), and acetaminophen (1.71 ± 0.75).
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Even the highest-rated pain management modalities are considered only moderately effective by HS patients.
