Abstract

Aim: We aimed to evaluate the effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on clinical and functional status, quality of life and level of pain for short and long terms in patients with lateral epicondylitis. Methods: In total, 34 patients with lateral epicondylitis were included in the study. The patients received three sessions of ESWT administered 1day apart. The Short Form (SF-36) Health Survey evaluating the quality of life, the Turkish version of the patient-rated tennis elbow evaluation (PRTEET) evaluating the level of pain during various activities of daily living, the Nirschl pain phase scale evaluating pain during activity of the affected arm and patient-rated visual analogue scale (VAS) evaluating pain localised in the affected arm were used before andafter therapy and at 6 and 12 weeks after therapy. Results: There were significant decreases in the PRTEE-T, Nirschl and VAS scores at 6 and 12 weeks and significant increases in the SF-36 survey scores. There was a significant decrease in the total PRTEE-T,Nirschl and VAS scoresat 6 and 12 weeks. There were significant increases in all subscale scores of the SF-36 survey. Furthermore, there was a sustained decrease in the PRTEE-T, Nirschl and VAS scores and increase in the SF-36 score from 6 to 12 weeks. Conclusion: This study revealed that ESWT is effective in treating lateral epicondylitis by improving the quality of life, reducing pain during activity, decreasing pain during activities of daily living and reducing pain localised in the arm.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada Lateral Epikondilitli hastalarda Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT)’nin, klinik, fonksiyonel durum, yaşam kalitesi ve ağrı üzerine, kısa ve orta vadede etkinliğini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Yöntem: Lateral Epikondiliti olan toplam 34 hasta çalışmaya alındı. Hastalara gün aşırı birer seans olmak üzere toplam 3 seans ESWT uygulandı. Hastalara tedavi öncesi, tedavi sonrası, tedaviden 6 hafta ve 12 hafta sonra, hastaların yaşam kalitesini değerlendirmek için Kısa form (SF-36), çeşitli günlük yaşam aktivitelerinde ağrıyı değerlendirmek için hasta tarafından değerlendirilmiş tenisçi dirse ği değerlendirme formu (PRTEE-T) Türkçe versiyonu, etkilenmiş kolunun egzersiz esnasında ağrısının değerlendirilmesi için Nirschl ve etkilenen koldaki lokal ağrıyı değerlendirmek için hasta tarafından puanlanan Vizüel Analog Skala (VAS) kullandık. Bulgular: PRTEE-T, Nirschl ve VAS skorlarında 6 ve 12. haftada önemli ölçüde azalma ve SF36 skorlarında önemli ölçüde artış elde ettik. Toplam PRTEE-T skorları 6. haftada ve 12 haftada önemli ölçüde düştü. Nirschl skoru 6. haftada ve 12 haftada önemli ölçüde düştü. VAS skoru 6. haftada ve 12 haftada önemli ölçüde düştü. SF-36 skorunun bütün alt parametrelerinde 6. haftada ve 12 haftada önemli ölçüde artış oldu. Ayrıca 6. haftadan 12. haftaya kadar PRTEE-T, Nirschl ve VAS skorlarında düşme, SF-36 skorlarında artış devam etti. Sonuç: Lateral epikondilitin konservatif tedavisinde ESWT'nin uygulanmasında, yaşam kalitesini artırmada, aktivite esnasında ağrıyı azaltmada, günlük yaşam aktivitelerinde ağrıyı azaltmada ve koldaki lokal ağrıyı azaltmada etkili olduğunu bulduk.
