Abstract

It is known that vascular problems, causing ischemic pain may occur in the lower extremities of diabetic patients and foot ulcers may develop by the pathogenetic implication of peripheral neuropathy and insufficient circulation. The present case report deals with a 58 years old female patient, having diabetes for 16 years, who admitted to Yüzüncü Yıl University Research Hospital, Internal Medicine Outpatients Clinics with complaints of pain resulting from diabetic polyneuropathy and ulcers in the feet. Foot ulcers of the patient gradually improved during TENS sessions and recovered by the end of the 30 days treatment. Studies about vasodilatative effects of TENS on such patients and the role of TENS treatment in the healing of chronic ulcers was discussed.

Özet

Diabetik hastalarda alt ekstremitelerde iskemik ağrılara yol açan vasküler sorunların ortaya çıktığı, periferik nöropati ve kanlanma yetersizliğinin patogenezinde rol oynadığı ayak ülserlerinin gelişebildiği bilinmektedir. Bu olgu sunumunda, Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Araştırma Hastanesi Dahiliye Polikliniği'ne ayaklarda nöropatik ağrı ve ülser yakınması ile başvuran 58 yaşındaki, 16 yıllık diabetli bir bayan hastada Transkütanöz Elektriksel Sinir Stimülasyonu (TENS) seansları süresince ayak ülserlerinde görülen gerileme ve 30 günlük tedavi sonundaki iyilik hali bildirilmiştir. TENS tedavisinin ülserlerin iyileşmesinde oynayabileceği rol tartışılmıştır ve TENS tedavisi ile benzeri bulguları olan hastalarda vazodilatasyon ve kronik ülserlerde iyileşme sağlanabildiği konusundaki çalışmalar gözden geçirilmiştir.
