This study aimed to investigate pain levels, life quality, and depression in patients undergoing facet radiofrequency (RF) and/or transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) for the treatment of chronic low back pain (CLBP).Methods: The records of 51 patients with low back pain lasting more than three months who underwent interventional procedures for pain management were reviewed retrospectively. Patient data including age, sex, type of interventional treatment, visual analog scale (VAS) scores before and after the procedure, SF-36 life quality scores, and Beck Depression Scale (BDS) scores were obtained from patient tracking forms and the hospital information system.Results: A total of 51 patients (35 males, 16 females) who received interventional treatment were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 48.37±13 years. Patients underwent facet RF (n=14), TFESI (n=23), or both procedures combined (n=14). Compared to pre-procedure values, VAS and BDS scores at the third and sixth months were significantly lower (p<0.05), while SF-36 life quality scores were significantly higher (p<0.05). No significant difference was observed between the third and sixth months (p>0.05).Conclusion: In chronic low back pain, interventional treatments such as facet RF and/or TFESI were found to reduce pain and depression levels and improve life quality.","PeriodicalId":101341,"journal":{"name":"Agri : Agri (Algoloji) Dernegi'nin Yayin organidir = The journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":"37 3","pages":"156-161"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144985362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Demographic and clinical examination findings (gender, age, involved dermatome, side, neurologic examination, medications used), VAS scores, and complications were recorded at 1, 6, and 12 months after the procedure.Results: Data of 93 patients were evaluated. Sixty-six patients were in the acute/subacute pain phase, while 27 patients had postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) at presentation. Eleven patients (C2-4: 1, C3-5: 2, C4-6: 2, C5-7: 2, C6-8: 2, C7-T1: 2) underwent cervical DRG PRF and TFAESI. Seventy-five patients underwent thoracic DRG PRF and TFAESI (T1-3: 2, T2-4: 6, T3-5: 4, T4-6: 11, T5-7: 9, T6-8: 9, T7-9: 6, T8-10: 5, T9-11: 9, T10-12: 7, T11-L1: 3, T12-L2: 4).

No sample selection was made in the study; the aim was to reach the entire population. The population consisted of 450 students. The sample included 398 students who agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected using the Personal Data Form and the Scale for Healthcare Professionals' Attitudes towards Patients with Chronic Pain. Permission for the study was obtained from the Ethics Committee.Results: According to the study findings, 31.1% of the students always encountered patients with chronic pain, and 69.3% had not received training on chronic pain management. As students' grade level increased, their scores from the sensitivity and misconception orientation factors also increased (p<0.05). As the frequency of encountering patients with chronic pain increased, scores from the sensitivity orientation factor significantly increased (p<0.05). Those who felt insufficient in pain management had significantly lower scores from the sensitivity orientation factor.Conclusion: The results showed that students' attitudes towards patients with chronic pain were good, although not very good. Among the students, those who were female, had more clinical practice experience, frequently encountered patients with chronic pain, and felt sufficient in pain management had stronger positive attitudes towards patients with chronic pain.","PeriodicalId":101341,"journal":{"name":"Agri : Agri (Algoloji) Dernegi'nin Yayin organidir = The journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":"37 2","pages":"91-99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144053921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients were randomly assigned to the TENS treatment and sham application groups. Pain intensity, pain patterns, and quality of life were evaluated with the Breast Pain and SF-36 questionnaires before and 10 days after treatment in all patients.Results: TENS treatment significantly reduced the total breast pain score (from 257.6±47.3 to 123.6±11.6 for the TENS group vs 217.7±42.7 to 209.7±54.4 for the sham group) (p<0.001) and analgesic use (p=0.024) compared to the sham group. The pain patterns of patients shifted to a more brief, momentary, or transient pattern in the TENS group, whereas they did not change in the sham TENS group. There was significant improvement in the total SF score (p<0.001) and six subscales of the SF-36 (physical and social functioning, energy/fatigue, pain, general health, and health change) in favor of the TENS group.Conclusion: TENS seems to be a promising treatment for mastalgia.

However, pain medicine specialists face unique challenges, including professional isolation, limited resources, financial dissatisfaction, and restricted career growth. This study evaluates their experiences and explores potential policy improvements.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among pain medicine specialists who have completed or are fulfilling compulsory service. The survey included multiple-choice, Likert-scale, and open-ended questions assessing demographics, workload, resource availability, financial compensation, career impact, and job satisfaction. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were applied using SPSS 20.0.Results: Forty-nine specialists participated, with an average of 15.1 years in practice. Reported challenges included inadequate access to essential medical equipment (36.8%), lack of trained support personnel (67.3%), and professional isolation (63.3%). Financial dissatisfaction was high (48.9%), and 65.3% lacked additional housing or travel support incentives. Career limitations were notable, with 40.8% reporting restricted access to continuous education and 45.7% feeling that compulsory service negatively impacted their professional growth. Safety concerns, including workplace security and encounters with drug-seeking patients, were raised by 27.7% of respondents.Conclusion: Compulsory service poses significant challenges, affecting job satisfaction, career advancement, and service effectiveness. Policy improvements should include structured financial incentives, better resource allocation, support for continued education, and enhanced workplace security to improve retention and care quality in underserved areas.","PeriodicalId":101341,"journal":{"name":"Agri : Agri (Algoloji) Dernegi'nin Yayin organidir = The journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":"37 2","pages":"106-111"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144003490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
