A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO FATIGUE MANAGEMENT IN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS: COOLING SUIT APPLICATION

Öz

Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms in individuals with multiple sclerosis. In the studies evaluating the fatigue associated with multiple sclerosis, it was determined that fatigue increased with the elevation of body and environmental temperature in most of the cases. Various cooling methods are being used to accelerate nerve conduction and eliminate symptoms by reducing body temperature in the individuals with multiple sclerosis and it is reported that level of fatigue decreased with cooling therapies. In MS patients cooling treatment is provided by use of artificial cooling systems, such as drinking cold water, taking a cold shower, applying cold pad or cooling suits. This review aims to share knowledge about the application of cooling clothing in fatigue management in MS patients.

Multipl Sklerozda yorgunluk yönetiminde farklı bir girişim: Soğutucu giysi uygulaması

Öz

Yorgunluk, multiple sklerozlu bireylerde en sık rastlanan semptomlardan biridir. Multiple skleroz ile ilişkili yorgunluğun değerlendirildiği çalışmalarda; çoğu yorgunluk vakasının çevresel ve vücut içi sıcaklığının yükselmesi ile arttığı belirlenmiştir. Multiple sklerozlu bireylerde vücut sıcaklığı düşürülerek sinir iletisinin hızlandırılması ve semptomların giderilmesi amacıyla çeşitli soğutma tedavisi yöntemleri kullanılmakta ve yorgunluk düzeyinde azalmalar olduğu bildirilmektedir. MS hastalarında soğutma tedavisi;  soğuk su içme, soğuk duş alma, deriye soğuk ped uygulama veya soğutucu giysi gibi yapay soğutma sistemlerinin kullanımı ile sağlanmaktadır. Bu derleme, MS hastalarında yorgunluk yönetiminde soğutucu giysi uygulaması ile ilgili literatür bilgisini paylaşmak amacıyla yazılmıştır.
