The effect of capsaicin phonophoresis in knee osteoarthritis and can it be utilized early in primary care? : A randomized-controlled trial

Year 2016, , 173 - 180, 26.12.2016
https://doi.org/10.18521/ktd.284442

Abstract

Aim: The aim
of this study is to evaluate the effect of capsaicin
phonophoresis (PP) and capsaicin gel in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis
(OA) on scores of pain, disability, functionality, sleep quality and
depression.

Method: Seventy-three patients divided into 3 groups. All groups receieved exercise therapy. Addition
to exercise, group 1 (n = 24)
received capsaicin PP, Group 2 (n =
24) capsaicin gel. Therapies applied 3 days a week, for 6 weeks. Patients were
evaluated with visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, Western Ontario and
McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index for disability, 50-m walking time for
functionality, Beck Depression Inventory Scores for depression and Pittsburgh
Sleep Quality Index for sleep quality. Evaluations are done after the therapy,
and at 1-month follow up.

Results

All groups improved significantly in all
parameters. Pain scores after treatment were better in group 1. Regarding pain scores
at follow up it was still effective. Regarding disability,
functionality,
depression and sleep quality no difference found between group 1 and 2.

Conclusion: Capsaicin Phonophoresis is more effective in
reducing pain compared to exercise and capsaicin gel.  Capsaicin gell
was as effective as Capsaicin Phonophoresis on functionality, disability and
sleep quality and also more effective than exercise alone on functionality and
sleep despite using 3 times a week. This result encourages capsicin gel usage in
the treatment of knee osteoarthritis especially in primary care.


 

 

 

 

 

Özet

Amaç:  Bu çalışmanın
amacı Kapsaisin fonoforezis ve kapsaisin jelin diz osteoartritinin tedavisinde ağrı,
engellilik, fonsiyonalite, uyku kalitesi ve depresyon üzerine etkilerini değerlendirmektir.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Yetmiş üç hasta 3
gruba ayrıldı. Tüm gruplara egsersiz tedavisi uygulandı. Egsersize ek olarak
birinci gruba (n = 24)  kapsaisin fonoforezis, ikinci guruba (n
= 24)
kapsaisin jel uygulandı. 
Tedaviler haftada 3 gün, 6 hafta uygulandı. Hastalar ağrı için görsel analog skala, engellilik için Western Ontario ve
McMaster Universite Osteoartrit Indeksi, fonksiyon için 50 m yürüme zamanı,
depresyon için Beck Depresyon Skalası ve uyku kalitesi için Pittsburgh Uyku
Kalite indeksi ile değerlendirildi.  
Değerlendirilmeler
tedavi sonrası ve 1 aylık izlemde yapıldı.

Bulgular: Tüm guruplar tüm
parametrelerde iyileşme gösterdi. Ağrı skor sonuçları grup 1 de daha iyi idi. Bu
iyilik bir ay izleminde hala devam ediyordu.  Grup 1 ve 2 arasında engellilik, fonksiyon,
depresyon ve uyku kalitesi açısından fark bulunmadı.

Sonuç:  Kapsaisin
fonoferezis ağrıyı azaltmada egsersiz ve kapsaicin jele göre daha etkilidir.  Kapsaisin jelin haftada sadece 3 defa
kullanılmasına rağmen fonksiyon, engellilik ve uyku kalitesi üzerine capsaisin fonoferesiz
kadar etkili olduğu ve aynı zamanda egsersizin uyku kaliesi ve fonksiyon
üzerine etkisini artırdığı gösterildi.   Bu sonuç özellikle birinci basamakta kapsaicin
jel kullanımını teşvik etmektedir.
