Kronik omuz ağrısı olan hastalarda floroskopi eşliğinde uygulanan üçlü omuz enjeksiyonunun ağrı değerlerine etkileri

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, kronik omuz ağrısı olan hastalarda floroskopi eşliğinde yapılan üçlü omuz enjeksiyonunun kısa, orta ve uzun dönemde VAS değerleri üzerine etkinliğini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma, 01 Ocak 2011-31 Ağustos 2012 tarihleri arasında floroskopi eşliğinde 40 mg metiprednizolon ve 25 mg bupivakainle üçlü omuz enjeksiyonu uygulaması yapılan kronik omuz ağrılı 92 hastanın dosyalarının geriye dönük olarak incelenmesiyle yapıldı. Üçlü omuz enjeksiyonu uygulanan hastaların birinci hafta, bir-altıncı ay ve birinci yıl VAS de- ğerleri bazal VAS değerleriyle karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların birinci hafta, bir-altıncı ay ve birinci yıl VAS değerleri bazal VAS değerlerine göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düşüktü (p

Effects of triple shoulder injection accompanied by fluoroscopy on pain experienced by patients with chronic shoulder pain

Objectives: This study aimed at determining the short-, mid- and long-term effects of a triple shoulder injection accompanied by fluoros- copy on Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) values in patients with chronic shoulder pain. Methods: The study was conducted by retrospective investigation of the files of 92 patients experiencing chronic shoulder pain, and on whom a triple shoulder injection with 40 mg methyl prednisolone and 25 mg bupivacaine accompanied by fluoroscopy was applied between January 01, 2011 and August 31, 2012. Results: 1st week, 1st - 6th month, and 1st year VAS values were signi ficantl y lower when compared to the basal VAS values from a statistical point of view (p<0.001). However, VAS values corresponding to the 6th month and 1st year were signi ficantl y higher than the VAS values corresponding to the 1st week and 1st month when considered statisticall y (p<0.001). Conclusion: Triple shoulder injection accompanied by fluoroscopy applied on patients with chronic shoulder pain is effective in short-, mid- and long-term, but its mid- and long-term effectiveness is less than its short-term effectiveness.
