ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmada 12 haftalık bir takip döneminde düşük
doz pregabalinin fibromiyalji hastalarında kilo, denge, yürüyüş,
yorgunluk ve uyku hâli üzerine etkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Fibromiyalji tanısı alan 28 hasta çalışmaya
dâhil edildi. Çalışma süresince tüm hastalar 150 mg/gün pregabalin
kullandı ve 12 hafta takip edildi. Tedaviye başlamadan önce,
çalışmanın 4. haftasında ve 12. haftasında ağırlık, beden kitle indeksi
ölçümleri, Tinetti Denge ve Yürüme Testi, Epworth Uykululuk
Ölçeği ve Yorgunluk Şiddet Ölçeği uygulandı. Bu zaman
noktalarında elde edilen sonuçlar birbirleriyle karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular:
Çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 28 hastadan 11’i çalışmadan
ayrıldı. Bu hastalardan 7’sinin, ayrılma sebebi yan etkilerdi. Tedavi
öncesi ölçümlere göre vücut ağırlığında tedavinin 4. haftasında
(p=0,010) ve 12. haftasında (p=0,008) anlamlı artış görüldü. Ortalama
ağırlık artışı başlangıca göre 4. haftada 1,5±1,8 kg ve 12. haftada
1,7±1,9 kg idi. Tedavi öncesi ve sonrası değerler
karşılaştırıldığında Tinetti Denge Testi, Tinetti Yürüme Testi, Epworth
Uykululuk Ölçeği ve Yorgunluk Şiddet Ölçeği sonuçlarında
istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmadı. Sonuç: Düşük doz
pregabalinin fibromiyalji hastalarında kilo alımını indüklediği,
yürüyüş, denge, uykululuk ve yorgunluk üzerinde önemli bir etkisi
olmadığı saptanmıştır.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Fibromiyalji; pregabalin; kilo alımı; denge; yorgunluk
ABSTRACT
Objective: Our aim was to evaluate the effect of low
dose pregabalin on weight, balance, gait, fatigue, and sleepiness in fibromyalgia
patients in a twelve-week follow-up period in this study. Material
and Methods: Twenty-eight patients with fibromyalgia diagnosis
were included in the study. All patients used 150 mg/day pregabalin
during the study period and they were followed for twelve weeks. Weight,
body mass index measurements, Tinetti Balance and Gait Test,
Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and Fatigue Severity Scale were performed
prior to the treatment, at the fourth week, and at the twelfth week of
the study. The results at these time points were compared. Results:
Among 28 patients who accepted to participate in the study, 11 patients
dropped out of the study. Seven of these patients dropped out due to adverse
effects. The weight significantly increased at the 4th (p=0.010)
and 12th weeks of treatment (p=0.008) compared to the pretreatment
measurements. The mean weight gain was 1.5±1.8 kg at the 4th week
and 1.7±1.9 kg at the 12th week compared to the baseline. There were
no statistically significant differences in the parameters of the Tinetti
Balance Test, Tinetti Gait Test, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and Fatigue
Severity Scale scores before and after the treatment periods. Conclusion:
Low dose pregabalin induces weight gain in patients with fibromyalgia.
Pregabalin does not have a significant effect on gait,
balance, sleepiness, and fatigue
Keywords: Fibromyalgia; pregabalin; weight gain; balance; fatigue
