Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the benefit rate of cervical radicular pain from fluoroscopy guided transforaminal cervical steroid injection. Materials-Methods: We collected data of 78 patients retrospectively from patient files. Only adults at least 18 years of age with upper extremity pain of at least 1 month duration at C5-6 or C6-7 levels of cervical spine were included. Each patient underwent a standard physical examination and was asked to complete a 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS) questionnaire before transforaminal cervical steroid injection and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after procedure.Results: Mean pre- and post-injection VAS scores at 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 12th months were 8.34 ± 0.68 (7.24-9.64), 3.88 ± 1.45 (2.22-7.35), 3.95 ± 1.29 (2.12-6.87), 4.35 ± 1.12 (2.537.12), 4.43 ± 1.10 (2.10-6.15), respectively. The changes in pre- and post-injection VAS scores through follow-ups were statistically significant (p<0.001). Post-hoc tests (Wilcoxon signed-ranks test) revealed that the pre-injection VAS levels were significantly higher than the post-injection VAS scores. The changes in VAS scores at 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 12th months when compared to the pre-injection VAS scores were 53.9 %, 52.9 %, 48.1 %, and 47.1 %, respectively.Conclusion: Fluoroscopy guided transforaminal cervical steroid injection has been postulated to be effective on cervical radicular pain because accurate delivery of medication to the site of pathology is possible

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı servikal radiküler ağrının floroskopi eşliğinde transforaminal steroid enjeksiyonundan fayda görme miktarının incelenmesidir. Materyal-Metod: 78 hastanın verileri retrospektif olarak dosyalardan toplandı. Sadece en az 18 yaşında, 1 aydır devam eden C5-6 veya C6-7 seviye kaynaklı üst ekstremite radiküler ağrısı olan hastalar çalışmaya dâhil edildi. Her hasta standart fizik muayeneden geçti ve 100mm'lik vizüel analog skala skorları prosedür öncesi ve prosedürden 1,3,6 ve 12 ay sonra hesaplandı.Sonuçlar: İşlem öncesi ve sonrası 1, 3, 6 ve 12. aylardaki ortalama VAS değerleri 8.34 ± 0.68 (7.24-9.64), 3.88 ± 1.45 (2.227.35), 3.95 ± 1.29 (2.12-6.87), 4.35 ±1.12 (2.53-7.12), 4.43 ± 1.10 (2.10-6.15) olarak hesaplanmıştır. İşlem öncesi ve sonrası değerler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değişim bulunmuştur (p<0.001). Post-hoc testi (Wilcoxon signed-ranks test) işlem öncesi değerlerin işlem sonrasına göre anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğunu göstermiştir. İşlem sonrası 1., 3., 6. ve 12. aylardaki VAS skorlarının işlem öncesi değerler arasındaki değişim oranı ise % 53.9, % 52.9, % 48.1 ve % 47.1 olarak hesaplanmıştır.Çıkarım: Servikal radikülopati ağrısında floroskopi eşliğinde yapılan transforaminal steroid enjeksiyonu etkilidir çünkü ilacı patolojinin olduğu yere uygulamak mümkündür
