Abstract

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

Abstract

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.
