Abstract

Objectives: Chronic pain is a cause that negatively affects the quality of life and functional capacity. As with most chronic pain syndromes, perineal (pelvic) chronic pain requires a multimodal approach. Ganglion impar blockage and neurolysis may be effective in cases that do not respond to conservative treatments. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the effect of ganglion impar block in patients with chronic perineal pain. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with chronic perineal pain (duration of pain >6 months), who underwent ganglion impar block under fluoroscopy, were evaluated retrospectively. Neurolysis was performed after diagnostic block in 5 patients with chronic perineal pain associated with pelvic cancer. Results: The average age of the patients was 48.6±14.6 (28-75) years, 63.3% (19) were female, 36.7% (11) were male. Significant differences were observed in visual analogue scale and oswestry disability index values before and after the procedure (p

Özet

Amaç: Kronik ağrı hayat kalitesi ve fonksiyonel kapasiteyi olumsuz etkileyen bir nedendir. Kronik ağrı sendromlarının pek çoğunda olduğu gibi perineal (pelvik) kronik ağrı da multimodal yaklaşım gerektirir. Konservatif tedavilere yanıt vermeyen olgularda ganglion impar blokajı, nörolizisi etkin olabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada kronik perineal ağrılı olgularda ganglion impar blokajının etkinliğini retrospektif olarak değerlendirdik. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kronik perineal ağrı yakınması (ağrı süresi >6 ay) olan ve floroskopi rehberliğinde ganglion impar blokajı yapılmış 30 hasta retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Pelvik kanser ilişkili kronik perineal ağrısı olan 5 hastada diagnostik blok sonrası nörolizis uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Ortalama hasta yaşı 48,6±14,6 (28-75), %63,3 (19) kadın, %36,7 (11) erkek idi. İşlem öncesi ve sonrası vizüel analog skala ve fonksiyonel bel ağrısı skalası skorlarının karşılaştırmalarında anlamlı azalma gözlenmiştir (p
