Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of steroid iontophoresis (SI) and electrotherapy (ET) on bicipital tendonitis. Forty-seven patients with bicipital tendonitis, diagnosed with ultrasonography, were divided randomly into two groups. Hot pack (15 min), ultrasound (1.5 w/cm2, 5 min) and a standard exercise program were given to all patients. Additionally SI (0.5% hydrocortisone acetate given with the negative electrode, 3-4 mA galvanic current, 10 min) was applied in the first group, and electrotherapy (interferential current, 0-100 Hz, 10 min) was applied in the second group. All patients were evaluated at pre-treatment, post-treatment and one month later with the following assessment tools: Pain (night pain, at rest, with normal activities and with strenuous activities) with numeric scale (0-10); range of motion (ROM) with goniometry and with the ROM items of the Constant shoulder scale; patient satisfaction with numeric scale (0-10); disability by using function section of the Pennsylvania shoulder scale. In SI group, all assessment parameters revealed statistically significant improvement at post-treatment and one month later (p

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı bisipital tendinitte steroid iyontoforezi (Sİ) ile elektroterapinin (ET) etkinliğini karşılaştırmalı olarak irdelemekti. Ultrasonografik olarak bisipital tendinit tanısı almış 47 hasta randomize olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Birinci gruba 15 seans sıcak paket (15 dk), ultrason (1,5 w/cm2, 5 dk), Sİ (negatif elektrod yoluyla %0.5 hidrokortizon asetat, 3-4 mA galvanik akım, 10 dk); ikinci gruba ise sıcak paket (15 dk), ultrason (1,5 w/cm2, 5 dk), interferansiyel akım (0-100 Hz, 10 dk) ve her iki gruba da standart bir egzersiz programı verildi. Tüm hastalar tedavi öncesi, sonrası ve bir ay sonra değerlendirildiler. Ağrı (gece ağrısı, istirahat, aktivasyon ve zorlayıcı faaliyetlerdeki ağrı) numerik ölçekle (0-10); eklem hareket açıklığı (EHA) hem goniometrik olarak hem de Constant omuz ölçeğinde olduğu şekliyle puanlanarak; hasta memnuniyeti numerik ölçekle (0-10); dizabilite Pennsylvania omuz ölçeğinde yer alan fonksiyon bölümü kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Sİ grubunda hem tedavi sonrasında hem de son kontrollerde tüm parametrelerdeki değişimler istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p
