Abstract

GİRİŞ: Karpal tünel sendromu (KTS) median sinirin el bileğinde karpal kanalda transvers karpal ligament tarafından basıya uğraması sonucu gelişen bir tuzak nöropatisidir. Elde güçsüzlük, ağrı, özellikle 1, 2 ve 3 parmakta olmak üzere his kaybı veya karıncalanma şikayetleri ile kendini gösterir. Cerrahi girişimler median sinirin gevşetilmesinde etkili olsalar da risk içermektedirler. Hali hazırda bir çok konservatif tedavi metodu; atelleme, germe egzersizleri, ilaçlar olmasına ragmen hiçbiri kesin sonuç vermemektedir. Bu olguda KTS tedavisi için nöral terapi uyguladık.OLGU: 40 yaşında kadın hasta karpal tünel tanısı ile, kliniğimize başvurdu. KTS tanısı 2 yıl once konulmuş. Ameliyattan çekindiği için kabul etmemiş. Fizik muayenede sol elde Phalen ve Tinnel testi pozitif. El bileğinin tekrarlayan hareketi ile şikayetlerde belirgin artış mevcut. Elektrodiagnostik test ile karpal tünel sendromu düşündüren sinir iletim hızının uzaması saptandı.TEDAVİ: Hastaya tekrarlayan seanslar halinde karpal tünel enjeksiyonu, segment tedavisi, trigeminal sinir enjeksiyonları ve sol kolda aşı skarına enjeksiyon yapıldı. Hastaya 6 seans tedavi yapıldı. Hala takipte olan hastada tam iyileşme izlendi. SONUÇ: Karpal tünel sendromu median sinirin sıkışması sonucu ortaya çıkar. Bu yaşam kalitesi açısından hastaya çeşitli engeller oluşturur. Nöral terapi karpal tünel sendromu tedavisi için non-invaziv olan iyi bir seçenek oluşturmaktadır

TREATMENT OF CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME BY NEURAL THERAPY: CASE REPORT

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is an entrapment neuropathy due to the compression of the median nerve at the wrist in the carpal canal by the transverse carpal ligament. It is characterized by symptoms of hand weakness, pain, numbness or tingling in the hand, especially in the thumb, index and middle fingers.Surgical methods are effective in decompression of the nerve, but are not without risk. Various non-surgical treatments such as splinting, stretching exercises, or the use of medicines are available, but none of them is universally effective. Despite these treatments, many patients may suffer symptoms which are persistent and repetitive, and may last for years. We applied neural therapy as an effective non-surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome. CASE: 40-year-old female patient with a diagnosis of carpal tunnel for 2 years , admitted to our clinic. Physical examination showed positive Phalen’s and Tinnel’s test on her left wrist. There was an increase of symptoms with repetitive movement. Electrodiagnostic test revealed prolongation of nerve conduction velocity thus suggesting carpal tunnel syndrome.TREATMENT: The patient was treated with repeated sessions of segmental injection, trigeminal nerve injection and carpal tunnel injections. Injection to a vaccination scar on her left shoulder was also applied. The patient was treated six sessions. The patient, still under follow up, had full recovery.CONCLUSION: Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs as a result of compression of the median nerve by the structures around it in the carpal tunnel. It causes disabilities in terms of life quality. Neural therapy is a good choice of non-invasive treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome
