ÖZET
Amaç: Diz osteoartritinde (OA) ağrı oluşumu üzerine, nosiseptif mekanizmaların yanı sıra nöropatik
mekanizmaların da rol oynayabileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada diz osteoartriti olan hastalarda
nöropatik ağrı komponenti olup olmadığının belirlenmesi ve nöropatik ağrı komponenti varsa
fonksiyonel durum, yaşam kalitesi ve depresyon ile ilişkisinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler:
Bu kesitsel çalışmaya primer diz OA tanısı olan 150 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların demografik
verileri kaydedildi. Hastaların ön-arka diz grafileri Kellgren-Lawrence evreleme sistemi ile değerlendirildi.
Ağrı şiddeti için Görsel Analog Skala (VAS), nöropatik ağrı komponentinin tespiti için DN4 anketi,
fonksiyonel durumu değerlendirmek için Lequesne indeksi, depresif semptomlar açısından Beck
Depresyon Ölçeği (BDÖ) ve yaşam kalitesi için Kısa form-36 (SF-36) anketi uygulandı. Bulgular: Hastaların
133’ü (%88,7) kadın, 17’si (%11,3) erkek idi. Yaş ortalaması 61,5±9,7 yıl idi. DN4 skalasına göre
hastaların %40’ında nöropatik ağrı mevcuttu. Nöropatik ağrı olan grupta, nöropatik ağrı olmayan gruba
göre VAS istirahat, VAS hareket ve Lequesne skorları istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek bulunmuştur
(p=0,004, p=0,005 ve p=0,0001). İki grupta, SF-36 ile BDÖ skorları arasında anlamlı bir fark
gözlenmedi (p>0,05). DN4 skoru ile SF36 ve Beck depresyon skoru arasında korelasyon olmadığı; Lequesne
indeksi ile anlamlı pozitif korelasyon (r=0,562, p=0,0001) olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Bu araştırmanın
bulguları, kronik diz osteoartritli hastalarda ağrının nosiseptif komponenti yanı sıra nöropatik
komponenti de olduğunu göstermektedir. Nöropatik ağrı, ağrı ve dizabiliteyi arttıran bir faktör olduğundan,
osteoartritte fonksiyonel durumu bozan nöropatik ağrı sorgulanmalı ve nöropatik ağrı tedavisi
osteoartrit tedavisinin bir parçası olarak uygulanmalıdır.

ABSTRACT
Objective: Neuropathic mechanisms are considered to play a role in development of pain in
knee osteoarthritis (OA) as well as nocicieptive mechanisms. The present study aimed to determine neuropathic
pain in patients with knee OA and investigate its relation to functional state,,quality of life and
depression. Material and Methods: The present cross-sectional study enrolled 150 patients with primary
knee OA. Demographic data of the patients were recorded. Anteroposterior knee radiographs were assessed
using the Kellgren Lawrence staging system. Pain severity was evaluated with Visual Analogue
Scale (VAS), the Douleur Neuropathique en 4 Questions (DN4) questionnaire was used to detect the
neuropathic pain component, the Lequesne index was used to assess the functional status, the Beck Depression
Inventory (BDI) was used to assess depressive symptoms and the Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire
was applied to assess the quality of life. Results: Of 150 patients,133 (88.7%) were female and
17 (11.3%) were male patients. The mean age was 61.5±9.7 years. The DN4 scale revealed that 40% of
the patients had neuropathic pain. In the group with neuropathic pain, VAS resting, VAS movement and
Lequesne scores were significantly higher than those of without neuropathic pain (p=0.004, p=0.005,
p=0.0001, respectively). There were no significant differences in SF-36 and BDI scores between the two
groups (p>0.05). There was no correlations between DN4, SF-36 and BDI scores; however, these scores
showed a significant positive correlation with the Lequesne index (r=0.562, p=0.0001). Conclusion:
Chronic pain in patients with OA has degenerative and neuropathic components. As neuropathic pain
is a factor that increases pain and disability and disrupts functional status in osteoarthritis, it should be
questioned and neuropathic pain treatment should take place as part of the treatment of osteoarthritis.
