Abstract

Objective: In this study we aimed to evaluate the effectivity of treatment with the botulinum toxin-type A (BTX-A) on spasticity, spasticity-related pain, and the daily living activities in post-stroke patients with upper or lower limb spasticity. Materials and Methods: A total of 35 (23 right side, 12 left side) post-stroke patients who had upper and/or lower limb spasticity were enrolled to the study. BTX-A (249±41 U) was applied to their affected extremities. The degree of spasticity in the upper (elbow, wrists, and fingers) and lower (leg, knee and ankle) extremities was evaluated before treatment, 1 month, and 3 months after treatment using Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). Daily life activities and severity of spasticity-related pain were also evaluated using the Barthel index and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at the same time points. Results: The average age of the patients in the study was 60±6 years. Both upper and lower extremities were affected in 69%, whereas upper or lower extremities were affected in 31% of patients. BTX-A provided improvement in severity of the spasticity, pain scale, functionality, and quality of life according to the MAS, VAS, and Barthel indexes.The benefits were sustained in the first 3 months of the post-treatment. Conclusion: BTX-A in the treatment of post-stroke spasticity is a reliable method in terms of adverse effects, pain reduction, its ability to provide long-term effectiveness, and increase functionality and quality of life

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, inme sonrası üst ya da alt ekstremite spastisitesi gelişen hastaların tedavisinde Botulinum toksin-tip A (BTX-A) enjeksiyonunun spastisite ve spastisiteye bağlı ağrı tedavisindeki etkinliği ile günlük yaşam aktivitelerine olan etkisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya inme sonrası üst ekstremite ya da alt ekstremitede spastisite nedenli 249±41 U BTX-A uygulanmış 35 (23 sağ taraf, 12 sol taraf) hasta alındı. Üst ekstremitede dirsek, el bileği ve parmaklarda, alt ekstremitede ise bacak, diz ve ayak bileğinde spastisite derecesi; BTX-A enjeksiyonu öncesi, işlem sonrası 1. ay ve işlem sonrası 3. ay Modifiye Ashworth Skalası (MAS) ile değerlendirildi. Ayrıca BTX-A işlemi öncesi, işlem sonrası 1. ay ve işlem sonrası 3. ay günlük yaşam aktiviteleri Barthel indeksi ile, spastisiteye bağlı ağrı ise Vizüel Analog Skalası (VAS) ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan hastaların yaş ortalaması 60±6 idi. Hastaların %69'unda üst ve alt ekstremite, %31'inde ise üst ya da alt ekstremite etkilenmişti. MAS, VAS ve Barthel indeksi kullanılarak BTX-A'nın tedavi öncesine göre anlamlı olarak spastisite ve ağrı şiddetinde azalma, fonksiyonellikte ve yaşam kalitesinde ise artma sağladığı sonucuna varıldı. Birinci ayda sağlanan faydanın 3. ay takiplerinde de sürdüğü saptandı.Sonuç: İnmeye bağlı spastisite tedavisinde BTX-A uygulanması yan etki açısından güvenli, hastaların ağrısını azaltan, fonksiyonelliği ve yaşam kalitesini artıran, uzun süreli etkinlik sağlayabilen bir yöntemdir
