The present study examines the efficacy of greater occipital nerve (GON) block in patients monitored for primary headaches.Methods: The present study includes 53 patients monitored by the headache outpatient clinic from March 2017 to June 2018, evaluates them for headache type, attack duration, attack frequency, severity of pain, and analgesic intake and compares the initial values with the follow-up values at months 1, 3, and 6.Results: The study group comprises 36 episodic migraine cases, 12 tension-type headache (TTH) cases, 4 chronic migraine cases, and 1 cluster headache case. In migraine group, VAS scores, attack durations, and the mean value of monthly number of attacks and analgesics taken significantly decrease compared to initial values at the end of the 6-month follow-up period. In TTH group, VAS scores, attack durations, and the mean value of monthly number of attacks and analgesics taken significantly decrease compared to initial values at the end of the 3-month follow-up period. Since only 2 of 12 patients completed the 6-month follow-up, although there was a decrease in the 6-month data, it was found to be statistically insignificant.Conclusion: Repetitive GON block is an effective treatment method for migraine and TTH.","PeriodicalId":45603,"journal":{"name":"Agri-The Journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39790817","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}

The questionnaire form consisted of 40 questions. The demographic information of the participants, the presence of contact with the COVID-19 patient, they used which personal protective equipment (PPE) and how often, the effect of the pandemic process on the lifestyle, the presence of visual defects, the effect of the pandemic process on water consumption, the presence of old or de novo headaches, the factors that may affect this headache, and the factors that reduce the pain were questioned in the survey.Results: A total of 177 health-care professionals participated in the study. About 93.8% of the participants use masks daily for more than 4 h. About 62.7% of the participants stated that their water consumption increased on the days when they used PPE. About 72.3% of the participants reported disruption in sleep patterns, 83.1% of them reported increase in their stress and anxiety. About 65.5% of the participants experienced headaches during the pandemic process. They reported that the most likely causes of headache were excessive sweating and difficulty in breathing due to the use of PPE.Conclusion: During the pandemic, a substantial portion of health-care professionals experiences headaches. Besides the physical difficulties caused by the use of PPE, the stress caused by the pandemic process should not be ignored.","PeriodicalId":45603,"journal":{"name":"Agri-The Journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39790819","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}

Myofascial trigger points (TrPs) are common factors in patients with CEH and contribute to the pain and disability. In this report, we present two patients with CEH who had TrPs in their upper trapezius muscles. Each patient received an ultrasound-guided interfascial block of the trapezius muscle. Case 1 A 79-year-old female patient presented with a complaint of headache due to trigger point in her upper trapezius muscle. Her Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score for pain intensity was 10. We performed an ultrasound-guided interfascial block of the trapezius muscle. Her NRS score at 30 minutes after the procedure was 2. The patient was pain free during the two months follow-up period. Case 2 A 55-year-old female patient presented with a complaint of headache due to trigger point in her upper trapezius muscle. Her Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score for pain intensity was 8. We performed an ultrasound-guided interfascial block of the trapezius muscle. Her NRS score at 30 minutes after procedure was 3. The patient was pain free during the two weeks follow-up period. The structure of the fascia can ease diffusion of an injected anaesthetic during diagnostic and therapeutic blocks, and interfascial injections are becoming more common. We suggest that this treatment may produce positive effects for patients with CEH caused by trigger points.","PeriodicalId":45603,"journal":{"name":"Agri-The Journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39535683","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}

Percentage calculations and Chi-square tests were used in statistical analyses.Results: The mean age of the nurses in the study was 28.70±5.92, 25.3% were working in intensive care, 46.6% worked 41-48 h a week, and 55.6% stood for 5-8 h within a 24 h period. Low back pain was moderate in 75.8% of participants, and low back pains sometimes affected work efficiency in 43.3% (n=154). In terms of coping, the great majority of participants did not visit a physician, but used analgesics, avoided wearing high-heeled shoes, and slept in hard beds. Statistical significance (p<0.05) was observed between participants' age groups, the unit where they worked, type of duty, the amount of time spent standing, and the amount of time standing in the same position and low back pain.Conclusion: Based on the results obtained, nurses experienced a moderate level of low back pain, and we think that experiencing low back pain is a continuous risk for nurses because of their lengthy hours of work and time spent standing, and that their working hours should, therefore, be adjusted and that correct body mechanics should be included during in-service training.","PeriodicalId":45603,"journal":{"name":"Agri-The Journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39538541","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}

TESI was performed to 67 patients and TESI+DRG-PRF was performed to 62 patients. Demographic data, surgical records, and medications, side, and level of the procedure were recorded. Patients were evaluated on the pre-operative and post-operative 10th day, 1st and 3rd month follow-up visits, and visual analog scale (VAS, 0-10) scores, and patients' satisfaction assessment on the 3rd month follow-up were collected. A successful therapeutic response was defined as a 50% or more reduction in VAS scores.Results: In both groups, post-operative VAS scores were significantly lower than the pre-operative levels (p<0.001). VAS scores in the TESI+DRG-PRF group were significantly lower than the TESI group at all follow-up periods (p˂0.001). Reduction ratios in VAS scores were significantly higher in the TESI+DRG-PRF group in all follow-up visits (p˂-0.001). Satisfaction levels were significantly higher in the TESI+DRG-PRF group (p˂0.01).Conclusion: According to our study, TESI provides short-moderate pain relief in patients with chronic lumbar radicular pain. A simultaneous application of PRF in the same session with TESI should be considered as an option to improve the treatment response.","PeriodicalId":45603,"journal":{"name":"Agri-The Journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39538542","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}
