All participants completed a sociodemographic information form, the Visual Analog Scale for Tension (VAS-T), the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-42), and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). Additionally, patients with chronic pain completed the Visual Analog Scale for Pain (VAS-P) and algometer assessments. The discriminant, concurrent, and convergent validity of the VAS-T was evaluated.Results: Concerning discriminant validity, analyses revealed that individuals in the pain group exhibited significantly higher VAS-T scores compared to the control group (p < 0.001). There was a significant correlation between VAS-T scores, muscle tension algometer scores, and anxiety, stress, and alexithymia levels (p < 0.01). Participants reporting low tension on the VAS-T differed significantly from those reporting high tension regarding these variables (p < 0.05).Conclusion: The self-reported VAS-T is a rapid, practical and valid self-reported tool for assessing muscle tension.","PeriodicalId":101341,"journal":{"name":"Agri : Agri (Algoloji) Dernegi'nin Yayin organidir = The journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":"38 2","pages":"75-82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148008568","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}

All patients underwent genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation and intra-articular injection. Pain (NRS), functionality (WOMAC), walking capacity (6MWT), sleep quality (PSQI), and satisfaction levels were evaluated at baseline and at 1 and 3 months following the procedure. Variance and regression analyses were used for statistical evaluation.Results: Significant clinical improvements were observed in all patient groups for the evaluated parameters (p<0.001). However, variance analysis for pain (F=22.566, p<0.001), function (F=15.283, p<0.001), sleep quality (t=-3.87, p<0.001), and walking capacity (F=13.301, p=0.001) showed lower scores in the CSI≥40 group compared with the CSI<40 group. Regression analysis confirmed lower responses in CSI≥40 patients: pain (β=-2.1; 95% CI: -3.1 to -1.1; p<0.001), function (β=-4.6; 95% CI: -7.2 to -2.0; p=0.001), walking (β=-24.6; 95% CI: -40.7 to -2.8; p=0.026), and sleep (β=-1.9; 95% CI: -2.9 to -0.9; p=0.001).Conclusion: The presence of central sensitization significantly limits the clinical response to genicular radiofrequency ablation and intra-articular injection treatments in older patients with OA. Routine use of screening tools such as CSI in treatment planning may guide more effective and personalized approaches.","PeriodicalId":101341,"journal":{"name":"Agri : Agri (Algoloji) Dernegi'nin Yayin organidir = The journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":"38 1","pages":"29-37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146088697","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}

We compared the analgesic efficacy and adverse effects of clonidine and dexmedetomidine as adjuvants to levobupivacaine for caudal analgesia in children undergoing infraumbilical surgeries.Methods: In this prospective randomized study, 100 pediatric patients (3 to 8 years) of either sex, scheduled for infraumbilical surgery, were randomly allocated to two equal groups in a double-blind manner. After induction of anesthesia using a standard technique, caudal anesthesia was administered using 0.2% levobupivacaine (1 ml/kg) with either 1 µg/kg dexmedetomidine (Group A) or 1 µg/kg clonidine (Group B). Hemodynamic parameters, motor block, degree of sedation, postoperative analgesia, use of rescue analgesics, and side effects were evaluated for 24 hours.Results: The mean duration of analgesia in Group A (12.7±2.4 h) was higher than in Group B (10.6±2.2 h), which was statistically significant (p=0.000). The mean duration of sedation was higher in Group A, although it was statistically insignificant. Hemodynamic parameters were comparable in the two groups. No significant side effects were observed in the groups.Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine (1 µg/kg) added to 0.2% levobupivacaine (1 ml/kg) for caudal block provides prolonged analgesia with better sedation scores when compared to clonidine (1 µg/kg) with 0.2% levobupivacaine (1 ml/kg) for below umbilical surgeries in pediatric patients, without increasing the incidence of adverse effects. Hence, we would recommend the use of 1 µg/kg dexmedetomi-dine as an adjuvant to 0.2% levobupivacaine.","PeriodicalId":101341,"journal":{"name":"Agri : Agri (Algoloji) Dernegi'nin Yayin organidir = The journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":"38 1","pages":"21-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146088748","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}
