Abstract

Objective: Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease causing disability. The primary goals for osteoarthritis therapy are to relieve pain, maintain or improve functional status, and minimize deformity. Many treatment options, including non-pharmacological and pharmacological measures, have been recommended in the management of osteoarthritis. Among the non-pharmacological approaches is physiotherapy, which involves the use of physical modalities like heat therapy, exercise therapy, electrical stimulation, therapeutic ultrasound, iontophoresis, and phonophoresis. The aim of our study was to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy of iontophoresis in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Materials and Methods: The study group included 40 patients with knee osteoarthritis to whom ketoprofen gel iontophoresis was applied. Pre-treatment and post-treatment pain, functional status and physical limitation were evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Lequesne Index, respectively. Results: There was significant difference between the pre- and post-treatment evaluation in all parameters (p<0.05). Conclusion: Iontophoresis may be considered as an alternative therapy in knee osteoarthritis that is inexpensive, simple and non-invasive.

Özet

Amaç: Osteoartrit, yetiyitimine neden olabilen en yaygın görülen eklem hastalığıdır. Tedavide asıl amaç, ağrıyı azaltmak, fonksiyonel aktiviteyi devam ettirmek, ve deformiteyi en aza indirmektir. Osteoartrit tedavisinde farmakolojik ve non-farmakolojik farklı tedavi seçenekleri önerilmektedir. Non-farmakolojik yaklaşımlar arasında sıcak tedavi, egzersiz, elektrik stimülasyonu, tedavi edici ultrason, iyontoforez ve fonoforez sayılabilir. Çalışmamızın amacı, diz osteoartritinde iyontoforez yönteminin etkinliğini retrospektif olarak değerlendirmekti. Yöntem ve Gereçler: Çalışma grubu, diz osteoartriti tanısı ile ketoprofen jel iyontoforezi uygulanmış olan 40 hastadan oluşturuldu. Tedavi öncesi ve sonrası ağrı, fonksiyonel durum ve fiziksel kısıtlılık sırasıyla görsel analog skala, McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, ve Lequesne indeksi ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Tedavi öncesi ve sonrası değerlendirmelerde tüm parametrelerde anlamlı fark vardı (p <0.05). Tedavi sonrası ağrıda azalma, fonksiyonel aktivitede artış saptandı. Sonuç: Bu sonuçlara göre, iyontoforez, diz osteoartritinde ucuz ve invazif olmayan, uygulanması kolay alternatif bir tedavi yöntemi olarak düşünülebilir.
