Abstract

Purpose: The aim of our study was to evaluate the psychiatric symptoms of patients with cervical or lumbar disc herniation. Materials and Methods: 42 healthy control subjects and 64 patients were enrolled in the study. The patients were individuals who have a complaint of lower back or neck pain that has lasted for at least 6 months. 28 of the patients had cervical disc herniation and 36 had lumbar disc herniation. Socio-demographic Information Form, Beck Anxiety Scale, Beck Depression Scale, State and Trait Anxiety Inventory, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 Test, Quality of Life Scale-Short Form-36, Somatosensory Amplification Scale were administered to all participants. Visual Analogue Scale was administered to patient group, Neck Pain and Disability Index to patients with cervical disc herniation and Oswestry Disability Index to patients with lumbar disc herniation. Results: In both the cervical and lumbar disc herniated groups, the level of anxiety was high, while the level of depression and amplification of somatic sensations was low. Apart from emotional role difficulties, quality of life sub-parameters were found to be significantly lower in the patient groups. A moderate correlation was found between pain and disability. Conclusion: The high level of anxiety in both patient groups in our study suggests that pathological anxiety may be responsible for the progression of degeneration in disc herniation. In the treatment of patients with disc hernias, psychological factors that can affect quality of life and disability should be determined, and multidisciplinary treatment approaches should be applied.

Özet

Amaç: Literatürde kronik bel ve boyun ağrıları ile ruhsal durumun değerlendirildiği çok sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır ancak spesifik olarak yapısal patolojinin tespit edildiği bel veya boyun ağrısı ile ruhsal bulgular arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyen çalışma sayısı çok azdır. Çalışmamızda servikal ve lomber disk hernili hastaların ruhsal bulgularını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmaya, 42 sağlıklı kontrol ve en az 6 aydır süren bel ya da boyun ağrısı şikayeti ile Nöroşirürji ve Fizik Tedavi ve Rehabilitasyon polikliniklerine başvuran 28'i servikal, 36'sı lomber disk hernisi tanısı almış hastalar dahil edilmiştir. Psikiyatri uzmanı tarafından hasta ve kontrol grubuna DSM-5 tanı kriterleri temel alınarak yarı yapılandırılmış psikiyatrik görüşme yapılmıştır. Tüm katılımcılara, Sosyo-demografik Bilgi Formu, Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği, Beck Depresyon Ölçeği, Durumluk ve Sürekli Kaygı Envanteri, Yaygın Anksiyete Bozukluğu-7 Testi, Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği-Kısa Form-36, Bedensel Duyumları Abartma Ölçeği dolduruldu. Hasta gruplarına, Visüel Analog Skala, servikal disk hernili hastalara Boyun Ağrı ve Özürlülük indeksi, lomber disk hernili hastalara Oswestry disabilite indeksi dolduruldu. Bulgular: Hem servikal hem de lomber disk hernili grupta, anksiyete düzeyi yüksekken, depresyon ve bedensel duyumları abartma düşük saptanmıştır. Emosyonel rol güçlüğü dışında, yaşam kalitesi alt parametreleri hasta gruplarında anlamlı olarak düşük saptanmıştır. Ağrı ve özürlülük arasında orta derecede korelasyon tespit edilmiştir. Ağrı veya özürlülük ile anksiyete veya depresyon düzeyleri arasında da orta derecede korelasyon saptanmıştır. Sonuçlar: Çalışmamızda her iki hasta grubunda anksiyete düzeyininin yüksek olması, belki de disk herniasyonundaki dejenerasyonun progresyonunda patolojik hale gelen anksiyetenin etkili olabileceğini düşündürmektedir. Lomber ve servikal disk hernili hastaların tedavisinde ağrı dışında, yaşam kalitesi ve özürlülüğü etkileyebilecek psikolojik faktörler de saptanmalı ve multidisipliner tedavi yaklaşımları uygulanmalıdır.
