Abstract

Objective: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic destructive infammatory disorder. This study is aimed to investigate the effects ofbalneotherapy and aquatherapy in the treatment of RA patients.Materials and Methods: A total of 59 patients who fulflled the American College of Rheumatology diagnostic criteria for RA were includedthis study. Patients were randomly assigned into three groups. Group 1 (n=20) received balneotherapy, group 2 (n=20) received an aquaticexercise program and group 3 (n=19) was accepted as control group. These programs were applied fve times a week, over three weeks(15 sessions). Patients were evaluated for clinical and laboratory parameters. Clinical parameters included pain,duration of morning stiffness,number of swollen and tender joints, disease activity score (DAS28), Modifed health assessment questionnaire (mHAQ), physician s andpatient s global assessment and hand grip strength. Laboratory evaluation included erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR) and C-reactiveprotein (CRP). The assessment parameters were measured before, at the end of and after 3 months of the therapy.Results: The mean age of the patients was 54±10.7 (25-75) years and the mean disease duration was 122.3±98.1 (1-424) months. In aquaticexercise group we observed an improvement in DAS28 scores (p

Özet

Amaç: Romatoid Artrit (RA) kronik destrüktif infamatuvar bir hastalıktır. Bu çalışma RA tanısıyla takip ettiğimiz hastalarda akuaterapi vebalneoterapinin etkilerini araştırmak amacıyla planlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Amerikan Romatizma Derneği (ACR) tanı kriterlerini dolduran ve RA tanısı konulan toplam 59 hasta dahil edildi.Hastalar randomize olarak üç gruba ayrıldılar. Grup 1 (n= 20) balneoterapi, grup 2 (n=20) akuaterapi, grup 3 (n=19) kontrol grubu olarak kabuledildi. Balneoterapi ve akuaterapi uygulamaları haftada beş gün, üç hafta süresince toplam 15 seans verildi. Hastalar klinik ve laboratuvarparametrelerce değerlendirildiler. Klinik değerlendirme; ağrı, sabah sertliği süresi, şiş ve hassas eklem sayısı, hastalık aktivite skorlaması(DAS28), Modifye Sağlık Sorgulama Anketi (mHAQ), hastanın ve doktorun global değerlendirmesi ölçümünü içermektedir. Laboratuvarparametreler ise eritrosit sedimentasyon hızı (ESR), C-reaktif protein (CRP) olup tüm değerlendirme parametreleri tedavi öncesinde, tedavisonrası (3. hafta) ve 3. ayda yapıldı.Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalamaları 54±10,7 (25-75) ve ortalama hastalık süreleri 122,3±98,1 (1-424) aydır. Akuaterapi grubunda iseDAS 28 skorlarında (p
