Measurements were done presurgery and at postoperative 6th month.Results: Compared to the preoperative values, measurements at the 6th month weresignificantly improved for pressure pain threshold, hand strength and dexterity values, andpain intensity (p0.05).Conclusions: Anterior cervical disc surgery was found to decrease pain intensity and toincrease pressure pain thresholds significantly, while improving hand dexterity, hand strength.However, some degree of insufficiency in terms of pain were stil persisting at thepostoperative 6th month.

Abstract

Objectives: The aim of the study is to evaluate the pain and hand functions of patientsundergoing anterior cervical disc surgery and to compare with those of healthy controls.Methods: 22 people with anterior cervical disc surgery and 30 healthy people were taken intostudy.

Measurements were done presurgery and at postoperative 6th month.Results: Compared to the preoperative values, measurements at the 6th month weresignificantly improved for pressure pain threshold, hand strength and dexterity values, andpain intensity (p0.05).Conclusions: Anterior cervical disc surgery was found to decrease pain intensity and toincrease pressure pain thresholds significantly, while improving hand dexterity, hand strength.However, some degree of insufficiency in terms of pain were stil persisting at thepostoperative 6th month.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı anterior servikal disk cerrahisi geçiren hastaların ağrı ve elfonksiyonlarını değerlendirmek ve bunları sağlıklı kontrollerle karşılaştırmaktır.Yöntem ve Gereç: Anterior servikal disk cerrahisi geçiren 22 hasta ve 30 sağlıklı kişiçalışmaya alındı. Ağrıyı değerlendirmek için Vizüel Analog Skalası ve basınç ağrı eşiğikullanıldı. El becerisinin değerlendirilmesinde Nine- Hole Peg Test , el kuvvetinindeğerlendirilmesinde ise el dinamometresi kullanıldı. Ölçümler cerrahi öncesi ve postoperatif6. ayda yapıldı.Bulgular: Preoperatif değerlerle karşılaştırıldığında, 6. aydaki ölçümlerde basınç ağrı eşiği, elkuvveti ve becerisi değerleri, ağrı yoğunluğu gelişmişti (p0.05).Sonuç: Anterior servikal disk cerrahisinin anlamlı ölçüde el becerisi ve el kuvvetinigeliştirirken; ağrı yoğunluğunu azalttığı ve basınç ağrı eşiğini yükselttiği bulunmuştur.Bununla birlikte; ağrıdaki bir kısım eksiklik postoperatif 6.ayda ısrarla devam etmekteydi.
