Abstract

腰背痛是高发的肌肉骨骼疾病,约 20% 急性患者可进展为慢性,其急慢转变涉及神经可塑性、心理及生物因素的复杂作用。本文围绕腰痛患者视觉 - 姿势控制的神经可塑性动态变化展开综述。研究发现,健康人群通过前庭、视觉、本体感觉系统的神经整合维持姿势,而腰痛状态下该系统的神经可塑性呈现阶段特异性:急性阶段以保护性适应为特征,表现为视觉依赖性增强及运动皮层快速重组;亚急性期出现中枢敏化早期迹象,视觉 - 姿势控制策略适应性调整,依赖视觉补偿本体感觉缺陷;慢性阶段则伴随大脑结构(如前额叶皮层灰质减少)与功能(如默认模式网络连接异常)重塑,视觉 - 姿势控制持续异常并形成恶性循环。同时,疼痛记忆通过长时程增强、表观遗传修饰等机制形成,经条件性恐惧、疼痛预期影响视觉 - 姿势控制相关神经回路。研究表明,生物 - 心理 - 社会因素共同驱动这一动态过程,未来需结合纵向追踪与多模式评估,制定个性化干预以阻断慢性化进程,为临床治疗提供理论依据。
