Abstract

Objective: We compared the effectiveness of corticosteroid injections with physical therapy for the treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome. Methods: Fifty-two patients with subacromial impingement syndrome were enrolled in the study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. Corticosteroid injection consisted of an injection of 1 ml of 40 mg/ml triamcinolone acetonide in combination with 4 ml of %1 lidocain. Corticosteroid injection was given from the lateral side to the subacromial region in the first group. Physical agents consisting of ultrasound, TENS, hotpack were performed to the second group. Codman and strengthening exercises were given to the both groups. All patients were reviewed at 15 day, 1 and 3 months after the beginning of the therapy. For the evaluation of pain intensity Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), for the assessment of maximal muscle strength isokinetic measurement, for the assessment of shoulder function American Shoulder and Elbow Surgery(ASES) Shoulder Index Scale were utilized. Results: There was a significant reduction in patient's pain scores in both treatment groups. But, pain reduction was significantly higher in injection group when compared the physical therapy group (p<0.05). Comparison of the other parameters between injection group and physical therapy group found no statistical difference at 15 day, 1 and 3 months (p>0.05). Conclusion: There was a greater pain reduction in patients with treated steroid injections. But, both physical therapy and local steroid injections were of similar effectiveness for shoulder functions.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada subakromiyal sıkışma sendromunda fizik tedavi ile steroid enjeksiyonunun etkinliklerini karşılaştırdık. Metod: Çalışmaya subakromiyal sıkışma sendromlu 52 hasta alındı. Hastalar randomize edilerek iki gruba ayrıldı, Kortikosteroid enjeksiyonu imi (40 mglml) triamsinolon asetonid ve 4 mi (%1'lik) lidokain karışımı içeriyordu. Enjeksiyon birinci grubun subakromiyal boşluğuna lateral yaklaşımla verildi. İkinci gruba ultrason, TENS ve hot pack içeren fizik tedavi ajanları uygulandı. Her iki gruba da Codman ve güçlendirme egzersizleri verildi. Hastalar tedavinin başlangıcından sonra 15. gün, 1. ay ve 3. ay da yeniden değerlendirildi. Ağrının şiddetini değerlendirmek için Vizüel Ağrı Skalası (VAS), maksimal kas kuvvetlerini değerlendirmek için izokinetik ölçüm ve omuz fonksiyonlarını değerlendirmek için American Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (ASES) Omuz indeksi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların ağrı skorlarında her iki tedavi grubunda da belirgin azalma vardı. Fakat, ağrı azalması fizik tedavi grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında enjeksiyon grubunda anlamlı derecede fazla idi (p 0.05). Sonuç: Enjeksiyon ile tedavi edilen hastalarda ağrı azalması daha fazla idi. Ancak hem fizik tedavi hem de lokal steroid enjeksiyonu uygulaması omuz fonksiyonları açısından aynı etkiye sahipti.
