Abstract

Objective: The objective of the present study was to investigate whether tramadol iontophoresis added to therapy is superior to the therapy methods alone (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), hot pack, ultrasound, and exercise therapy) in patients with knee OA. Materials and Methods: A total of 72 patients who admitted to the outpatient clinic of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation were included in this study. The diagnosis was based on the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for knee OA. The patients were randomly separated into two groups. Group 1 received physical therapy and Group 2 received tramadol iontophoresis in addition to the therapy for a period of two weeks. Patients were evaluated according to pain and functional capacity assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS) and Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) before therapy and following the 10th session, and at 1 and 3 months.Results: The mean age and duration of the knee pain were 58.53±8.38, 5.00±2.66 years in the control group and 58.15±7.70, 4.71±2.70 years in the tramadol iontophoresis group. There were no significant differences between groups in the mean age and duration of the knee pain, body mass index (BMI), VAS and WOMAC scores before therapy. Following the 10th session, and after 1 and 3 months, VAS and WOMAC scores were significantly decreased in both groups when compared with the baseline values (p<0.001). VAS scores were significantly lower in the tramadol iontophoresis group compared to controls following the 10th session (p<0.001). However, no significant difference was found between WOMAC scores of the tramadol iontophoresis and control groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: We conclude that tramadol iontophoresis added to physical therapy may be useful for relieving pain of knee OA during the treatment period

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı diz OA hastalarında tedaviye eklenen tramadol iyontoforezinin tek başına uygulanan tedavi yöntemlerine (transkütanöz elektriksel sinir stimülasyonu, sıcak kompres, ultrason ve egzersiz tedavisi) üstün olup olmadığını incelemektir.Yöntem ve Gereçler: Çalışmaya Fizik Tedavi ve Rehabilitasyon polikliniğine başvuran 72 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların tanısı, Amerikan Romatoloji Birliği (ACR) Diz OA kriterlerine göre konuldu. Hastalar rastgele iki gruba ayrıldı. İki haftalık süre boyunca Grup 1'deki hastalara fizik tedavi, Grup 2'deki hastalara ise tedaviye ek olarak tramadol iyontoforezi uygulandı. Hastalar tedaviden önce, 10. seansı takiben ve 1. ve 3. aylarda görsel ağrı skalası (GAS) ve Western Ontario ve McMaster Üniversiteleri Osteoartrit İndeksi (WOMAC) kullanılarak ağrı ve fonksiyonel kapasitelerine göre değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması ve ortalama ağrı süresi kontrol grubunda 58,53±8,38 ve 5,00±2,66 yıl, tramadol iyontoforez grubunda ise 58,15±7,70 ve 4,71±2,70 yıldı. Tedavi öncesinde gruplar arasında yaş ortalamaları, ortalama ağrı süresi, vücut kitle indeksi, VAS ve WOMAC skorları açısından anlamlı fark yoktu. 10. seansı takiben ve 1. ve 3. aydan sonra, başlangıç değerleriyle karşılaştırıldığında her iki grupta GAS ve WOMAC skorlarında anlamlı düşüş saptandı (p 0.05).Sonuç: Fizik tedaviye eklenen tramadol iyontoforezin tedavi dönemi sırasında diz OA ağrısını rahatlatmada faydalı olabileceği sonucuna vardık
