Abstract

Objectives: Musculoskeletal injections (MIs) are frequently used in conservative treatment-resistant cases. Joint or soft tissue (ST) corticosteroid (CS) or local anesthetic (LA) injections can be used to relieve musculoskeletal pain. Assessed in the present study was the short-term efficacy of MIs for pain relief, as was the relative efficacy of injections in various joint and ST sites. Methods: An interventional prospective cohort design was employed in the present study. Joint or ST injections for musculoskeletal pathologies were performed in patients over 18 years of age who were resistant to conservative treatment methods. Pain during rest and activity were evaluated using visual analog scale (VAS) by different clinicians prior to treatment and 3 weeks after. At the end of the study, efficacy at 7 injection sites (myofascial trigger points, shoulder, knee, lateral epicondyle, plantar fascia, lumbar, and coccyx regions) was analyzed. Results: Injections were administered to 225 of the 250 patients included. A total of 128 patients, of whom 94 were female, completed the study. Resting VAS values before and after treatment were 4.35±1.49 and 1.63±1.74, respectively. Activity VAS values before and after treatment were 8.41±1.33 and 4.04±2.37, respectively. Changes in resting and activity VAS values were significant (p<0.005). Significant reductions in pain were observed at all injection sites following treatment. Conclusion: Significant improvement in pain scores was observed 3 weeks after injections among all injection sites. LA or CS injections can be used safely and efficiently for pain relief over short time periods.

Özet

Amaç: Muskuloskeletal enjeksiyonlar konservatif tedaviye dirençli olgularda sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Eklem veya yumuşak doku (YD), kortikosteroid (KS) veya lokal anestezik (LA) enjeksiyonları kas-iskelet ağrısını gidermek için kullanılabilir. Bu çalışmada, Mİ'ların farklı eklem ve YD bölgelerinde ağrı tedavisi üzerine kısa dönem etkinliği değerlendirildi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma, girişimsel prospektif kohort olarak tasarlandı. Konservatif tedavi yöntemlerine dirençli 18 yaş üzeri hastalara, kas iskelet patolojilerine göre eklem ve YD enjeksiyonları yapılmıştır. Hastaların, istirahat ve aktivite sırasındaki ağrıları başka bir doktor tarafından visual analog skalası (VAS) ile tedavi öncesi, tedavi sonrası 3. haftada değerlendirildi. Çalışmanın sonunda, yedi enjeksiyon bölgesine göre (miyofasyal tetik noktalar, omuz, diz, lateral epikondil, plantar fasya, lomber ve kuyruk sokumu) analiz yapıldı.Bulgular: Enjeksiyon çalışmaya dahil edilen 250 hastanın 225'ine uygulandı. 94'ü kadın, toplam 128 hasta çalışmayı tamamladı. Tedavi öncesi ve sonrası istirahat VAS değerleri sırasıyla 4.35±1,49 ve 1,74±1,63 idi. Tedavi öncesi ve sonrası aktivite VAS değerleri sırasıyla 8.41±1.33 ve 4.04±2,37 idi. İstirahat ve aktivite VAS değerlerinde değişiklikler anlamlıydı (p<0.05). Ayrıca ağrıdaki düzelme tedavi sonrası tüm enjeksiyon bölgelerinde gözlenmiştir (p<0.05).Sonuç: Muskuloskeletal enjeksiyonlar ile tüm enjeksiyon bölgelerinde 3 haftalık dönemde ağrı skorlarında anlamlı düzelme gözlendi. LA veya KS enjeksiyonları eklem ve YD'larda, kısa dönemde ağrı tedavisinde güvenli ve etkin bir şekilde kullanılabilir.
