Kronik Venöz Yetmezliği Olan Bireylerde Manyetik Alan Tedavisinin Ödem, Eklem Hareket Açıklığı, Depresyon ve Yaşam Kalitesine Etkisi

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı düşük frekanslı kesikli manyetik alan (KEMA) tedavisinin kronik venöz yetmezliği olan hastalarda ödem, yaşam kalitesi, depresyon ve eklem hareket açıklığına etkisini incelemektir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya kronik venöz yetmezlik tanısı almış, CEAP (klinik-etiyolojik-anatomik-patofizyolojik) sınıflamasına göre C3-C6 olan 55 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların demografik bilgileri çalışma öncesinde toplandı ve analiz edildi. Klinik değerlendirmelerde ise Venöz Yetmezlikte Epidemiyolojik ve Ekonomik Çalışma-Yaşam Kalitesi Anketi (VEINES-QOL), Beck Depresyon Ölçeği (BDÖ), eklem hareket açıklığı (EHA) ve çevre ölçümleri kullanıldı. Hastalar tedavi (n=21) ve kontrol grubu (n=24) olarak rastgele sayı oluşturucu kullanılarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Tüm testler çalışmanın başlangıcında ve bitişinde olmak üzere iki kez uygulandı. İlk değerlendirmenin ardından KEMA terapisi haftanın 5 günü 6 hafta boyunca uygulama grubuna uygulandı. Bireylere aynı zamanda kompresyon çorabı verilerek 6 hafta kullanmaları istendi. Kontrol grubu ise 6 hafta boyunca sadece kompresyon çorabı kullandı.Bulgular: Her bir grubun ilk ölçüm, son ölçüm değerleri karşılaştırıldığında, tedavi grubunda etkilenen ekstremitede ayak bileği dorsifleksiyon ve plantar fleksiyon hareketlerinde ve depresyon ölçümlerinde anlamlı fark bulundu (p

Effects of Magnetic Field Therapy on Edema, Range of Joint Motion, Depression, and Life Quality in Patients with Chronic Venous Insufficiency

Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate effects of low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEFT) therapy on edema, life quality, depression, and range of joint motion in patients with chronic venous insufficiency.Materials and Methods: Fifty-five patients with chronic venous insufficiency who were at C3–C6 according to the clinical–etiological–anatomic–pathophysiological (CEAP) classification were included the study. The demographic data of the patients were obtained and analyzed before the study. Clinical evaluations tools included the Venous Insufficiency Epidemiological and Economic Study–Quality of Life Questionnaire (VEINES-QOL), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and range of joint motion and circumferential measurements. The patients were divided into two groups using random number generator as treatment (n=21) and control (n=24) groups. All tests were performed at both the beginning and the end of the study. Following the initial assessment, LFAM therapy was administered to the treatment group for 5 days a week for 6 weeks. The individuals were asked to use compression stockings for 6 weeks at the same time. The control group used only compression stockings for 6 weeks.Results: When the first and last measurements of the both groups were compared, there was a significant difference in the ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion and depression measurements (p
