Effect of prolotherapy on hemiplegic shoulder pain due to rotator cuff tendinopathy: a pilot study

Year 2017, Volume: 42 Issue: 1, 13 - 18, 31.03.2017
https://doi.org/10.17826/cutf.270401

Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the effect of prolotherapy on pain and shoulder
range of motion in stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain due to rotator
cuff tendinopathy.

Material and
Methods:
The data of 10 patients (mean age,
64.2±11.6 years) who had a history stroke of more than six months and underwent
prolotherapy treatment were collected retrospectively. The treatment included 3
sessions of dextrose prolotherapy injections applied to rotator cuff tendon.
Visual analogue scale pain scores and shoulder range of motions measured at
baseline and two weeks later after end of the treatment were assessed.

Results: Visual analogue scale shoulder pain scores of the patients
decreased from 8.2±1.1 at baseline to 4.8±1.9 after prolotherapy. The degrees
of shoulder flexion and abduction increased significantly after the treatment .







Conclusion: Preliminary results in this pilot study suggested
the beneficial effect of proloterapi in the treatment of hemiplegic shoulder
pain.

Rotator manşon tendinopatisine bağlı hemiplejik omuz ağrısında proloterapinin etkinliği: pilot çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Rotator manşon tendinopatisine bağlı hemiplejik omuz ağrısı bulunan
inmeli hastalarda proloterapi uygulamasının ağrı ve omuz eklem hareket açıklığı
üzerine etkisini araştırmak.



Gereç ve Yöntem: En az 6 ay önce inme geçirmiş hemiplejik omuz ağrısına yönelik
proloterapi uygulanan 10 hastanın (ortalama yaş, 64.2±11.6 yıl) verileri
retrospektif olarak toplandı. Tedavide rotator manşon tendonuna yönelik 3 seans
dekstroz proloterapi enjeksiyonu içermekteydi. Hastaların tedavi öncesi ve
tedavi bitiminden iki hafta sonraki vizüel analog skala omuz ağrısı skorları ve
omuz eklem hareket açıklıkları değerlendirildi.



Bulgular: Hastaların proloterapi öncesi vizüel analog skala omuz ağrısı
değerleri (8.2±1.1 cm) proloterapi sonrası kontrolde (4.8±1.9 cm) istatistiksel
olarak anlamlı derecede azaldı. Omuz fleksiyonu ve abduksiyonu derecelerinde
tedavi sonrası görülen artış istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu..



Sonuç: Bu pilot çalışmada elde edilen ilk bulgular
hemiplejik omuz ağrısı tedavisinde proloterapinin faydalı etkisi olduğunu
önermektedir
