Abstract

We aimed to investigate the effect of physical therapy in patients with vertebrobasilar insufficiency syndrome (VBIS) secondary to cervical spondylosis. Fifty-five patients with VBIS were randomized as physical (32 patients) and medical therapy (23 patients). Physical therapy including infrared, cervical traction, ultrasound and TENS was applied to group 1. Group II received tenoxicam, paracetamol, phenprobamate, and pentoxifyllin for 15 days. The blood flow velocities (cBFV) of the vertebral and basilar arteries were recorded by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD). A four points scale was! used to evaluate the intensity of symptoms due to vertigo (O= none, I= mild, 2= moderate, 3= severe). In group 1; cBFV in right and left VA, and in basilar artery increased significantly (p<0.01, p<0.05, and p<0.05, respectively). In group 2, no significant difference in cBFV was observed. When the groups were compared with each other, no significant diference was found. At the end of the treatment, a statistically significant improvement in the scores of subjective vertigo was observed in both groups (p<0.001, p<0.05). Comparison of the post-treatment scores for vertigo between the groups showed significant improvement in favor of the physical therapy group (p<0.05). Our results suggested that physical therapy might be a suitable alternative in the treatment of VBIS secondary to cervical spondylosis.

Özet

Bu çalışmamızın amacı, servikal spondiloza bağlı vertebrobaziler yetmezlik sendromu (VBYS) olan hastalarda fizik tedavi uygulamalarının etkinliğini araştırmaktı. Bu amaçla 55 hasta çalışmaya alındı ve randomize olarak fizik tedavi (grup l, n=32) ve medikal tedavi (grup 2, n=23) gruplarına ayrıldı. Birinci gruptaki hastalara infraruj, servikal traksiyon, ultrason ve TENS' den oluşan fizik tedavi programı uygulandı, ikinci gruptaki hastalara ise tenoksikam, parasetamol, fenprobamat ve pentoksifilin tedavisi 15 gün süre ile verildi. Vertebral ve basiler arter kan akım hızları transkraniyal Doppler ultrasonografi (TCD) ile ölçüldü. Vertigoya ait semptomların şiddetini değerlendirmek amacıyla dört puanlı bir skala kullanıldı (O= semptom yok, 1= hafif, 2= orta, 3= şiddetli). Fizik tedavi uygulanan grupta, tedavi sonrasında sağ vertebral (pkQ.Ol), sol vertebral (p<0.05) ve basilar arter (p<0.05) kan akım hızlarında anlamlı artışlar saptandı. Medikal tedavi uygulanan grupta ise anlamlı bir değişiklik bulunmadı. Gruplar birbiri ile karşılaştırıldığında da bir farklılık saptanmadı. Tedavi sonrasında vertigoya ait semptomlar açısından her iki grupta da anlamlı düzelme olduğu gözlendi (grup 1; p<0.001, grup 2; p<0.05). Bu parametre açısından gruplar birbiri ile karşılaştırıldığında, fizik tedavi grubu lehine anlamlı bir farklılık saptandı (p<0.05). Elde ettiğimiz hemodinamik ve klinik sonuçlar, servikal spondiloza bağlı VBYS'u olan hastalarda fizik tedavinin uygun bir seçenek olduğunu düşündürdü.
