DİSKOPATİYE BAĞLI NÖROPATİK AĞRIDA NON FARMAKOLOJİK BİR YÖNTEM: AKUPUNKTUR UYGULAMASI
Akupunktur kronik ağrısı olan bireylerde güvenilir ve etkin non farmakolojik yöntemler arasında yer almaktadır. Kronik ağrılı hastalarda
ve çoklu ilaç kullanan uygun hastalarda ilk sırada tercih edilmesi gereken bir analjezik yöntemidir. Biz bu çalışmada kronik ağrılı
diskopatili hastalarda non farmakolojik tedavi yöntemlerinden akupunkturun etkisini araştırmayı amaçladık. GETAT polikliniğine
başvuran kronik ağrılı diskopati hastaları çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastalardan aydınlatılmış onam formları alındı. Hastalara 10 seans
akupunktur uygulaması yapıldı. Hastalara tek kullanımlık steril vücut ve kulak akupunktur çelik iğneleri kullanıldı. (0.25x25mm,
0.22x13mm,0.22x1.5mm lik Hua Long) Çalışmaya katılan hastaların yaş ortalamaları 45.90±12.5, D Vitamin düzeyi ortalamaları
23.94±23.5 ug/l, VAS 1 değerleri 8.06±2.1, VAS 2 değerleri 5.88±2.33 idi. Hiç bir hastada yan etki görülmemiştir. VAS değerlerinde
%40’ın üzerinde azalma tespit edilmiştir. Sistematik derleme ve anketlerin sonucunda akupunkturun uygun eğitimli kişiler
tarafından yapıldığında güvenilir olduğunu kanıtlamıştır.
IN NEUROPATHIC PAIN BY DISCOPATHY A NON-PHARMACOLOGIC METHOD: ACUPUNCTURE APPLICATION
Objective: TAcupuncture is among the safe and effective non-pharmacological methods in individuals with chronic pain. It is an
analgesic method that should be preferred in the first place in patients with chronic pain and suitable patients using multiple drugs.
In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of acupuncture, which is one of the non-pharmacological treatment methods in
patients with chronic painful discopathy. Patients with chronic pain dyspathy who applied to the GETAT outpatient clinic were
included in the study. Informed consent forms were obtained from the patients. Ten sessions of acupuncture were applied to the
patients. Disposable sterile body and ear acupuncture steel needles were used. (0.25x25mm, 0.22x13mm, 0.22x1.5mm Hua Long)
The average age of the patients participating in the study was 45.90 ± 12.5, the average vitamin D level was 23.94 ± 23.5 ug / l,
the VAS 1 values were 8.06 ± 2.1, the VAS 2 values were 5.88 ± 2.33. No patient had any side effects. A reduction in VAS values
of over 40% has been detected. As a result of systematic reviews and surveys, acupuncture proved to be reliable when performed
by appropriately trained people.
Key words: Acupuncture, neuropathic pain, discopathy.
