Abstract

Lomber spinal stenosis is a chronic degenerative syndrome which come out from pressure on neural structures by stenotic spinal canal or intervertebral foramen and is characterized by neurogenic claudication clinically. Education of the patient is very important, treatment choices are conservative approaches such as physical therapy, epidural enjections, calcitonin therapy and surgical decompression operations. 41 patients diagnosed as lomber spinal stenosis clinically and radiologically were taken to the study. Patients were randomized into two groups. In the first group (n=20), the patients were included in a physical therapy program. The second group (n=21) took salmon calcitonin 100IU daily for 15 days, in ad-dition to the physical therapy. The patients were evaluated two times, initially and 2 months later. In conclusion, intensity of pain decreased and lumbar range of motion increased in both of the groups. There was improvement in paresthesia in the calcitonin group. There was no significant improvement in walking distance in both of the groups. According to these results, calcitonin therapy is found effective as and can be used safely in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.

Özet

Lomber spinal stenoz dar spinal kanal veya intervertebral foramenin nöral elemanları sıkıştırmasıyla ortaya çıkan, klinikte nörojenik kladikasyon ile karakterize olan kronik, dejeneratif bir sendromdur. Hastanın eğitimi çok önemli olup, tedavi seçenekleri arasında fizik tedavi, epidural enjeksiyonlar, kalsitonin tedavisi gibi konservatif yaklaşımlar ve cerrahi dekompresyon operasyonları yer almaktadır. Klinik ve radyolojik olarak lomber spinal stenoz tanısı almış 41 hasta çalışmaya alındı. Hastalar 2 gruba randomize edildi. Grup 1 (n=20)'deki hastalar fizik tedavi programına alındı. Grup 2 (n=21)'ye ise fizik tedavi yanında 15 gün süreyle, 100 İÜ/gün salmon kalsitonini uygulandı. Hastalar başlangıçta ve 2. ay sonunda değerlendirildi. Çalışmanın sonunda her iki grupta ağrı şiddetinde azalma ve bel hareket açıklığı ölçümünde artış saptandı. Kalsitonin alan grupta parestezide belirgin düzelme oldu. Ağrısız yürüme mesafesinde ise iki grupta da belirgin değişiklik olmadı. Sonuç olarak bu çalışmada lomber spinal stenozlu hastalarda kalsitonin tedavisinin etkili olduğu ve güvenle kullanılabileceği gösterilmiştir.
