Abstract

Our aim in this study was to compare the depression and anxiety risk in patients with AS and healthy controls and also to determine the relationship between disease activity, quality of life and psychological well-being. Two hundred and forty-three patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and 118 age-, sex- and education-matched healthy controls were enroled into the study. Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), and Functional Index, and Metrology Index, Health Assessment Questionnaire for Spondyloarthropathies (HAQ-S), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) including depression subscale (HADS-D) and anxiety subscale (HADS-A), Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL) Scale, duration of morning stiffness, pain-visual analogue scale (VAS), patient and physician's global assessment of disease activity (100 mm VAS) were used to assess clinical and psychological status. Patients had similar HADS-D but higher HADS-A than healthy controls. Patients with high risk for depression and anxiety had higher scores in BASDAI, BASFI and also poorer scores in VAS pain, patient global assessment, physician global assessment, HAQ-S and ASQoL. There was a negative correlation of HADS-D and HADS-A scores with educational level of the patients. Higher scores in HADS-D and HADS-A indicated poorer functional outcome and quality of life. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the HADS-D (OR=6.84), HAQ-S (OR=1.76), VAS pain score (OR=1.03) and ESR (OR=1.02) were independent risk factors for higher anxiety scores whereas HADS-A (OR=1.36) and ASQoL (OR=1.24) were independent risk factors for higher depression scores. The psychological status had close interaction with disease activity and quality of life in patients with AS.

Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of dry needling (DN) and kinesiotaping (KT) therapies on pain, quality of life, depression, and physical function in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). Patients and methods: The study included a total of 60 patients (4 males, 56 females; mean age 31.2±9.8 years; range, 18 to 56 years) diagnosed with MPS between January 2014 and June 2014. The patients were randomly divided into two treatment groups: the DN group (n=30) and KT group (n=30). Both groups performed stretching and postural exercises. The scales used for measurements were the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, a pressure algometer for the pressure-pain threshold, the Short Form-36 (SF-36) for the quality of life, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) for depression, and the Neck Pain and Disability Scale (NPDS) for physical function. The patients were evaluated by a single assessor three times: pre-treatment, at the end of the treatment, and two months after the treatment. Results: Both DN and KT provided significant improvements for all baseline measurements (VAS, pressure pain threshold, all subscales of SF-36, BDI, and NPDS scores) at the end of the treatment and two months after the treatment (p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the groups in all measurements (p>0.05). Conclusion: Kinesiotaping is as an effective method as DN in the treatment of MPS. It can be served as a non-invasive alternative to patients with needle phobia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Miyofasyal ağrı sendromu (MAS), tetik nokta denilen hipersensitif alanlarla karakterize; ağrı, kas spazmı, hareket kısıtlılığı ve nadiren otonomik disfonksiyon yapabilen bir rahatsızlıktır (1). Tetik noktalardan yayılan impulslar lokal veya yansıyan karakterde ağrıya neden olurlar.Tedavisinde kullanılan konservatif yöntemler transkutanöz elektriksel sinir stimülasyonu (TENS), yüzeysel ısı uygulaması (Hot Pack), egzersiz, masaj, germe, lokal enjeksiyon, kuru iğneleme, ultrason, lazer, farmakolojik ajanlar, akupunktur ve kinesio tapingdir (2,3). Kuru iğneleme tedavisi, tetik noktaların mekanik olarak hasarlanması ve bunun sonucunda reinflamasyon sağlanarak iyileşmenin sağlanması esasına dayanır. Kinesio taping tedavisi ise hareketi kısıtlayan klasik bantlamaya alternatif olarak geliştirilen bir bantlama tekniğidir. Çalışmamıza toplam 60 hasta dahil edilerek rastgele 2 eşit gruba ayrıldı. Birinci gruba germe ve postür egsersizleri ile birlikte 5 gün arayla 15 gün kuru iğneleme tedavisi ; ikinci gruba ise germe ve postür egsersizleri ile birlikte 5 gün arayla 15 günlük kinesio taping tedavisi uygulandı. Vizüel Analog Skala ile ağrı şiddeti, basınç algometre ile ağrı eşiği; Kısa Form-36 ile yaşam kalitesi; Beck Depresyon Ölçeği ile hastaların duygudurum; Boyun Ağrı ve Disabilite Skoru ile fonksiyonel durum değerlendirildi.Tedavi öncesi, tedavi bitimi ve tedavi sonrası 2. ay olmak üzere hastalar 3 kez değerlendirildi. Her iki tedavi grubunda da bütün parametrelerde tedavi bitimi ve tedavi sonrası 2. ay sonuçlarında istatiksel olarak anlamlı düzelme saptandı (p0, 05). Sonuç olarak miyofasyal ağrı sendromu tedavisinde kuru iğneleme ve kinesio taping tedavilerinin etkin bir şekilde uygulanabileceği ve her iki tedavi modalitesi arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olmadığı kanaatine vardık.Anahtar Kelimeler: Miyofasyal ağrı sendromu, kuru iğneleme, kinesio taping. Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) is characterized with local hypersensitive areas known as 'trigger points'. Pain, muscular spasm, motion limitation and rarely autonomic disfunction are some of the symptoms of MPS. Impulses from trigger points can cause local referred pain. Conservative treatments in MPS are; TENS hotpack, US, laser, exercise, massage, streching, local injection, dry needling, drugs, acupuncture, kinesio taping, etc. Dry needling mechanism is to destroy the trigger points mechanically and to start re-inflamation. Kinesio taping is an alternative taping method to classic taping,contrary to classic taping this method doesn't restrict movement. In this study, we compared the effects of dry needling and kinesio taping on MPS. 60 patients with MPS were divided into two groups randomly.One of groups received streching and postural exercises + dry needling (3 times during two weeks) and the other group was applied streching and postural exercises + kinesio taping (3 times during two weeks). We used visual analog scale (VAS) for pain scores, pressure algometer for pain threshold, Short Form -36 (SF -36) for life quality, Beck depression scale for emotional status, Neck Pain and Disability scale for functional level.Assesment was carried out pre-intervention, post-intervention and two-months later. Comparison were made in both groups and between two groups. Dry needling and kinesio taping provided significant improvements in all parameters at the end of the therapy and at 2nd months after the therapy (p< 0,05). There was no significant difference between the groups in all parameters (p>0.05).Consequently, our study showed us that, dry needling and kinesio taping can be used for treating MPS and there is no statistically significant difference between two modalities.Key Words: Myofascial pain syndrome, dry needling, kinesio taping. 113
