Abstract

AIM: Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms. Pelvic floor dysfunction due to autonomic disorders are common in this population. The purpose of this case report is to assess the early and long-term effects of comprehensive pelvic physiotherapy on autonomic dysfunction in a woman with Parkinson's disease.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: Bladder diary, Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20, Overactive Bladder Questionnaire, Incontinence Severity Index, Incontinence Impact Questionnaire- short form, and PERFECT scheme were evaluated at baseline, immediately after the 12-week comprehensive pelvic physiotherapy program, and after 1-year follow-up.
RESULTS: Improvements were detected in all parameters in the short term and maintained in the long term.
CONCLUSION: We think that a comprehensive pelvic physiotherapy program is an effective method that can non-invasively improve the symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction and quality of life seen in Parkinson's disease.

Kapsamlı Pelvik Fizyoterapinin Parkinson Hastalığındaki Otonomik Bozukluklar Üzerine Erken ve Uzun Dönem Etkileri: Olgu sunumu

Abstract

Amaç: Parkinson hastalığı, hem motor hem de non-motor semptomlarla karakterize nörodejeneratif bir hastalıktır. Bu hasta popülasyonunda otonomik bozukluklara bağlı gelişen pelvik taban disfonksiyonları sık görülür. Bu olgu sunumunun amacı, otonomik disfonksiyon bulguları olan Parkinson hastası bir kadına uygulanan kapsamlı pelvik fizyoterapinin kısa ve uzun vadeli etkilerini incelemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Mesane günlüğü, pelvik taban distres envanteri-20, aşırı aktif mesane sorgulama formu, inkontinans şiddet indeksi, inkontinans etki sorgulaması kısa formu, pelvik taban kas değerlendirmesi 12 haftalık kapsamlı pelvik fizyoterapi programından önce, program tamamlandıktan hemen sonra ve 1 yıllık takibin ardından tekrar uygulandı.
Bulgular: Hasta, kısa dönemde tüm parametrelerde iyileşme gösterirken uzun dönemde de kazanımlarını korudu.
Sonuç: Kapsamlı pelvik fizyoterapi programının, Parkinson hastalığında görülen pelvik taban disfonksiyon semptomlarını ve yaşam kalitesini non-invaziv olarak iyileştirebilen, etkili bir yöntem olduğunu düşünmekteyiz.
