Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate diagnostic importance, duration of efficacy period and the early, middle and late clinical efficacy of intra-articular facet joint injection in patients with chronic low back pain. Material and Methods: Ninety-one patients with chronic low back pain of more then six months were selected for facet joint injection. The patients divided to two group according to Lumbat CT as dejenerated (group 1) and normal 48 (group 2) facet joint imaging. There were 54 patients ( 30 female, 24 male) in group 1 and the age of the patients was between 21 and 71 (mean 43.56). There were 37 patients (21 female,16 male) in group 2 and the age of the patients was between 21 and 58 (mean 39.24). Thirty-seven patients in group 2 had facetal pain with no radiologic imaging abnormality of lumbar facet joint. Fifty-four patients in group 2 had facet joint degeneration. All facet joint injections has done under fluoroscope. Visual Analog Scale(VAS) was used to assess the pain relief before enjection and one week, one,three and six months later after injection. An inquiry had done to determine whether the patients satiesfied and want to repeat the process. Results: There was statistically significant difference at VAS value of group 1 (p<0.05). Also there was statistically significant difference at VAS value of group 2 (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between group 1 and 2 (p>0.05). Conclusion: Facet joint enjection reduce the pain at the patients with chronic low back pain. As a minimally invasive, reliable, cost-effective and reduce the loss of lobor at patients, we advise this procudere for an alternative treatment to the patients with low back pain.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı kronik bel ağrılı hastalarda intraartiküler faset eklem enjeksiyonunun tanısal önemini, etki süresini ve tedavide erken, orta ve geç dönem klinik etkinliğini araştırmaktır. Materyal ve Metot: 6 aydan uzun süredir kronik bel ağrısı olan 91 hasta faset eklem enjeksiyonu için çalışmaya alınmıştır. Hastalar lomber BTʼde faset eklem görünümlerine göre dejenere (Grup-1) ve normal olarak (Grup-2) diye iki gruba ayrıldı. Grup-1ʼdeki 37 hastada radyolojik görüntülemede faset eklem de anormallik yoktu. Grup 2ʼdeki 54 hastada ise faset eklem dejenerasyonu mevcuttu. Grup 1ʼdeki 54 hastanın (30 bayan,24 erkek) yaşları 21 ile 71 arasında değişmekte ve yaş ortalaması 43,56 idi. Grup 2ʼdeki hastaların (21 bayan,16 erkek) yaşları 21 ile 58 arasında değişmekte ve ortalaması 39,24 idi. Bütün faset eklem enjeksiyonları floroskopi altında yapıldı. Ağrı düzeyini değerlendirmek için işlem öncesi, işlem sonrası birinci hafta, birinci, üçüncü ve altıncı ay olmak üzere Vizüel Analog Skala (VAS) kullanıldı. Hastaların yapılan işlemden tatmin olup olmadıklarını belirlemek ve işlemin tekrarlanmasını isteyip istemediklerini belirlemek için anket yapıldı. Sonuçlar: Grup Iʼ in VAS değerlerinin karşılaştırılmasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar mevcuttu (p 0.05). Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın verileri ışığı altında faset eklem enjeksiyonunun, kronik bel ağrılı hastalarda ağrıyı azaltmakla birlikte, minimal invazif, güvenilir, maliyet açısından uygun bir yöntem olduğu, hastaların iş gücü kaybını azaltması açısından önemli bir tedavi seçeneği olduğu fikri elde edilmiştir.
