Abstract

Diskopatiye bağlı radikülopatili 30 olguya 15 gün aralıklarla 80 mg metil prednisolon asetat epidural enjeksiyonu ile uygulandı. Olgular tedavi öncesi ve sonrası visüel analog skala ile ağrı şiddeti, düz bacak kaldırma testi, lomber shober, palpasyon ile muayene bulguları, fonksiyonel durum, hasta ve hekime göre tedavi sonuçları yönünden değerlendirilerek karşılaştırıldı. Tedavi sonrasında ağrı şiddeti, düz bacak kaldırma testi, lomber shober ölçümlerinde tedavi öncesine göre anlamlı bir iyileşme bulundu. (P <0.001, P < .O.01, p <0.01)
Palpasyon ile muayene bulguları arasındaki farklılık anlamlı değildi. Fonksiyonel durumda iyileşme 19 (%60) olguda sağlandı. Tedavi sonuçları hastaya göre 17 (%57), hekime göre 20 (%67) olguda iyi idi. Diskopatiye bağlı radikülopatilerin tedavisinde epidural steroid enjeksiyonlarının temel tedavi modalitesi olmadığı, iyileşmenin devamının uygun bir egzersiz programı ile sağlanması ve hastanın eğitimi gerektiği gözönünde bulundurulmalıdır.
