The medications used by patients, pre-operative and post-operative visual analog scale scores who underwent interventional procedures, and duration for effectiveness of the procedure were evaluated with 36 months follow-up.Results: Forty-eight patients (32 females and 16 males) who were treated with primary and secondary etiologies were evaluated. Three patients V1, 12 patients V2, 25 patients V3, and eight patients V2+V3 trigeminal nerve branches described appropriate clinical symptoms. Only peripheral block was applied to 31 patients and Gasser ganglion RFT was applied to eight patients after peripheral block. In 24 patients who underwent peripheral block, pain severity reduction was ≥50%, mean effectiveness duration of peripheral block was 7.5 months. The eight patients undergoing Gasser ganglion RFT had ≥50% pain intensity reduction, mean effectiveness duration of Gasser ganglion RFT was 22.7 months (p=0.002). While one patient had hypoesthesia in the palate after RFT, no serious side effects were recorded.Conclusion: The duration of pain control for peripheral branch blocks in trigeminal neuralgia is not as long as RFT, but it is a relatively less invasive and less complicated interventional technique with good efficacy duration due to neurotoxicity of the used high concentrated local anesthetic.","PeriodicalId":45603,"journal":{"name":"Agri-The Journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":"34 4","pages":"264-271"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40666323","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}

Another aim of the study is to show whether symptomatic components of the pain detect questionnaire (PDQ) are correlated with the QST findings, which may help clinicians indicate patients with sensory abnormalities without the use of specialized tests.Methods: Fifty-seven participants were included in the study, including patients with NP (n=20) and healthy volunteers (n=37). After obtaining the sociodemographic and clinical data of the participants, the PDQ was performed in patients with pain followed by QST analysis in all participants.Results: Analyses between painful and non-painful extremities yielded no differences in all groups for QST (p>0.05). Sensory thresholds were found to be higher in the NP group compared to healthy volunteers, and the pain threshold test was found to be lower (p<0.05) in the intergroup analyses. The changes described were found in both painful and non-painful limbs. Pain with slight pressure was found to be correlated with the lower heat pain threshold values (R=-0.602, p=0.005).Conclusion: Patients with NP were found to have lower thresholds for pain and higher sensory thresholds when compared to healthy volunteers. Moreover, pain with pressure component in PDQ was found to be associated with hyperalgesia in QST.","PeriodicalId":45603,"journal":{"name":"Agri-The Journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":"34 4","pages":"235-244"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40666324","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}

In addition, to examine, whether EB1089, which is a vitamin D receptor agonist, can contribute to this mechanism by increasing the effects of the receptor.Methods: In the study, 24 male Wistar Albino rats of 3 months, an average of 240-260 g, were used. The animals were randomly divided into three groups, eight animals in each group. Groups; control, vitamin D (10 µg/kg), and EB1089 (10 µg/kg). Tail flick and hot plate tests were used to evaluate the antinociceptive effect. Measurements were taken at 0 min before drug administration and at 30, 60, and 90 min after drug administration and times were recorded in seconds. Serotonin levels were also analyzed by ELISA method in plasma obtained from intracardiac blood samples taken at the end of the experiment.Results: Vitamin D and EB1089 significantly increased the time to endure pain in the tail flick test compared to the control group (p<0.05). In the hot plate test, EB1089 group significantly extended the pain threshold compared to the control group (p<0.05), while the vitamin D group did not create a significant difference, although it had a higher latency than the control group (p>0.05).

Interventional treatments can be applied to patients who do not respond to conservative therapies. Intra-articular steroid injection and suprascapular nerve block are both short-acting and may sometimes be clinically inadequate. In this study, the answer to the question of whether pulse radiofrequency application to the suprascapular nerve provides additional benefit was investigated.Methods: Patients who had shoulder pain and were injected between October 2016 and April 2018 were evaluated retrospectively. Totally 160 patients who underwent shoulder injections were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups: 114 patients who underwent shoulder intra-articular steroid injection and suprascapular nerve block, as Group 1 and 46 patients who underwent pulse radiofrequency to the suprascapular nerve, in addition to shoulder intra-articular steroid injection and suprascapular nerve block, as Group 2.Results: There was no statistical difference between the groups in pre-intervention numerical rating scale (NRS) scores. One month after the intervention, NRS scores of Group 2 were significantly lower than Group 1. In both groups, 1 month after the intervention NRS scores were significantly lower than pre-intervention. The duration of pain relief for Group 2 was longer than Group 1. The satisfaction percentages of patients for Group 2 were higher than Group 1.Conclusion: In addition to glenohumeral intra-articular steroid injection and suprascapular nerve block, pulse radiofrequency application to the suprascapular nerve provides additional benefits in terms of NRS scores, duration of pain relief, and patient satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":45603,"journal":{"name":"Agri-The Journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":"34 4","pages":"272-277"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40438726","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}

This study aimed to determine sleep quality and the presence of psychiatric disorders in patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis (LE) and to investigate the effect of these comorbidities on pain levels.Methods: This study included 46 patients diagnosed with chronic LE and 46 healthy controls. Visual analog scale (VAS) was used for the assessment of pain intensity. The prevalence of depression and other psychological factors was examined using Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised test (SCL-90-R). Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to evaluate sleep quality.Results: The mean BDI (p<0.001), all subdivisions of SCL-90-R including somatization (p<0.001), and the mean global PSQI scores (p=0.002) were found to be significantly higher in patients with chronic LE than those in the control group. The presence of depression according to BDI was 41.3% in the patient group. About 60.8% of the patients had somatization and 71.7% had poor sleep quality. VAS scores were significantly higher in the patients with depression, somatization, and low sleep quality indicating a low positive linear relationship (r=0.357, r=0.360, and r=0.463, respectively, and all p<0.05).Conclusion: Psychiatric disorders and poor sleep quality are frequently observed in patients with chronic LE. These comorbidities negatively affect pain levels and may be linked to pain chronicity. Therefore, the potential coexistence of psychiatric disorders should be kept in mind when determining the treatment protocols for patients with chronic LE and adjunctive treatment should be given if necessary.","PeriodicalId":45603,"journal":{"name":"Agri-The Journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":"34 3","pages":"193-199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40574811","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 characteristics were recorded. Pain severity was evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) and FCT, the functional state was assessed by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and the quality of life was assessed using the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). FCT was performed on the 1st day by two independent observers (G1 and G2) and 3 days after the first application, patients were readministered the FCT by G1.Results: The mean age of participants was 56.04±12.33 years and mean body mass index was 27.7±4.3 kg/m². The reliability of the FCT and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was found to be 0.989 for intrarater compliance, ICC was found to be 0.984 for inter-rater compliance, and Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was α=0.994. External construct validity of the scale was confirmed with expected correlations with all subgroups of NHP except for social isolation, VAS and ODI (p<0.01).Conclusion: This study concludes that the FCT provides a reliable and valid instrument for measuring pain severity and loss of the function in patients with chronic mechanical back pain.
