Conclusion: We think that conservative therapies, including physical treatment modalities, bed rest, medications and exercise have early effecs on clinical findings in lumbar disc hernias and they may cause late morphological differentiations, by the help of natural process ofherniation, as well.

Abstract

Objective: To examine the effects of conservative therapies on the outcomes of physical examination, scores of pain and functional activity and lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in lumbar disc hernias. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five patients with protrusions or extrusions detected in lumbar MRI were examined. All the patients’physical examination findings, scores of visual analogue scale (VAS) at rest and activity and modified Oswestry functional disability scale were recorded. Conservative therapy methods, such as bed rest, anti-inflammatory and myorelaxant medications, physical treatment agents, exercise and suggestions for daily life were applied. The outcomes of therapies were again evaluated after about 1.5 (1.56±0.39) and 4.5 (4.68±1.42) months by physical examination, lumbar MRI, scores of VAS at rest, VAS at activity and modified Oswetry functional disability scale. Clinical findings and the outcomes of lumbar MRI of the first and second follow-up examinations were compared before treatment. Results: Significant improvements were detected in physical examination findings and VAS and Oswetry scores, but not in lumbar MRI findings in the first follow-up which was applied after 1.5 months. Significant improvents were detected in both clinical findings and radiological outcomes in the second follow-up which was applied after 4.5 months. Conclusion: We think that conservative therapies, including physical treatment modalities, bed rest, medications and exercise have early effecs on clinical findings in lumbar disc hernias and they may cause late morphological differentiations, by the help of natural process ofherniation, as well.

Özet

Amaç: Lomber disk hernilerinde konservatif tedavi yöntemlerinin, fizik muayene bulgularına, ağrı, fonksiyonel aktivite skorlarına ve lomber manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) sonuçlarına etkisini incelemek.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada lomber MRG’de protrüzyon veya ekstrüzyonu saptanan 25 hasta değerlendirildi. Tüm hastaların fizik muayene bulguları, istirahatte ve harekette vizüel analog skala (VAS) ve Modifiye Oswestry fonksiyonel özürlülük skalası sonuçları kaydedildi. Hastalara yatak istirahati, antiinflamatuvar ve miyorelaksan ilaçlar, fizik tedavi ajanları, egzersizler ve günlük yaşam için önerileri içeren konservatif tedavi yöntemleri uygulandı. Hastalar, ortalama 1,5 (1,56±0,39) ve 4,5 (4,68±1,42) ay sonra yapılan fizik muayene, lomber MRG'ler, istirahatte VAS, harekette VAS, Oswestry skalası ile tekrar değerlendirildiler. 1. ve 2. kontrollerde elde edilen klinik parametreler ve lomber MRG sonuçları, tedavi öncesiyle karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Ortalama 1,5 ay sonra yapılan ilk kontrolde, tedavi öncesine göre fizik muayene bulgularında, VAS ve Oswestry skorlarında anlamlı düzelme saptanırken, lomber MRG sonuçlarında anlamlı düzelme saptanmadı. Ortalama 4,5 ay sonraki 2. kontrolde ise tedavi öncesine göre hem klinik parametrelerde, hem de radyolojik sonuçlarda anlamlı düzelme tespit edildi.Sonuç: Lomber disk hernilerinde fizik tedavi modaliteleri, istirahat, ilaç tedavisi ve egzersizi içeren tedavi programının, klinik parametrelere etkisinin erken dönemde başladığını, daha geç dönemlerde ise bu tedavi programının, herniasyonun doğal sürecinin de katkısıyla morfolojik değişikliklere yol açabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.
