Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) plus exercise treatment on the pain level and quality of life of older adults with diabetic neuropathic pain. Materials and Methods:A retrospective review was conducted of older adults with diabetic neuropathic pain who completed 6 weeks of physiotherapy program (TENS application; 5 days a week, 20 minutes per day and various exercises like strengthening, stretching exercises, mat activities, functional activities, and range of motion exercises). The outcome measures were the body diagram, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). Results:16 patients participated to the study. The median age of the patients was 70 (65-83) years. When the pain levels of the patients were examined the mean, severe, the least, and current pain levels of the patients decreased (P

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, egzersiz tedavisine ek olarak uygulanan Transkütan Elektriksel SinirStimülasyonunun (TENS) diyabetik nöropatik ağrılı yaşlı bireylerin ağrı düzeyi ve yaşam kalitesiüzerine etkilerini geriye dönük olarak değerlendirmekti. Gereç ve Yöntem: Altı haftalık fizyoterapi programını (TENS uygulaması; haftada 5 gün, günde 20dakika ve kuvvetlendirme egzersizleri, germe egzersizleri, mat aktiviteleri, fonksiyonel aktiviteler venormal eklem hareketleri gibi çeşitli egzersizler) tamamlayan, diyabetik nöropatik ağrısı olan yaşlıbireylere ait verilerin retrospektif olarak incelemesi yapıldı. Sonuç ölçümleri vücut diyagramı, GörselAnalog Skalası (VAS) ve Nottingham Sağlık Profili (NHP) idi.Bulgular: Çalışmaya 16 hasta katıldı. Hastaların yaş ortancası 70 (65-83) idi. Hastaların ağrıdüzeyleri incelendiğinde ortalama ağrı, şiddetli ağrı, hastaların en az ve mevcut ağrı düzeylerininazaldığı gözlendi (P
