ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, 1- hem farmakolojik tedavi ve
non-farmakolojik tedavi alan, ayrıca non-farmakolojik tedavi olarak
fizik tedavi ve nöral terapi alan kronik bel ağrılı hastaların hasta memnuniyeti
ve ağrı değişimi düzeylerini kıyaslamak, 2- hem de hangi demografik
faktörlerin hasta memnuniyeti ile daha ilişkili olduğunu
incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya kronik bel ağrısı olan
toplam 109 hasta kabul edilmiştir. Hastalar 2 gruba ayrılmıştır: farmakolojik
tedavi grubunu steroid olmayan antiinflamatuar ve kas gevşetici
ilaç tedavisi alan 49 hasta, farmakolojik olmayan tedavi grubunu da
60 hasta oluşturmuştur (fizik tedavi uygulanan 25 hasta ve nöral terapi
uygulanan 35 hasta). Hastaların demografik verileri, hasta tatmin memnuniyeti
(5 soru ile) hastaların hangi tedavi yöntemi aldığını bilmeyen
bir klinisyen tarafından telefon görüşmesi ile kaydedilmiştir. Bulgular
Yaş, cinsiyet, kronik hastalık varlığı, çalışma durumu, eğitim durumu
ve hasta memnuniyeti arasında bir ilişki saptanmamıştır. Farmakolojik
olmayan tedavi alan hastaların, tüm hasta memnuniyeti verileri farmakolojik
tedavi alan hastalara göre istatistiksel olarak belirgin olarak
daha iyi bulunmuştur (p<0,001). Farmakolojik olmayan tedavi alan hastalar
incelendiğinde; ağrı azalma yüzdesi (p<0,001), bu tedaviyi yeniden
deneme isteği (p<0,001) ve hasta memnuniyet skoru (p=0,001)
nöral tedavi uygulanan hastalarda daha yüksek saptanmıştır. Sonuç
Kronik bel ağrılı hastalarda hem fizik tedavi, hem de nöral tedavi yöntemi,
farmakolojik tedaviye göre belirgin fazla bir hasta memnuniyeti
sağlamaktadır, ayrıca ağrı azalması hem nöral terapi hem de fizik tedavi
grubunda belirgin düzeyde fazla saptanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, en fazla
hasta memnuniyeti ve ağrıda azalma sağlayan yöntem nöral terapi olarak
bulunmuştur. Nöral terapinin ağrı ve hasta memnuniyeti üzerine etkisi
göz önüne alındığında, fizik tedavi yöntemlerine iyi bir alternatif
oluşturabilir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Nöral terapi; hasta memnuniyeti; fizik tedavi
ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study is 1- to compare both
the patient satisfaction and pain relief between patients who received
pharmacological treatment and non-pharmacological treatment, also
between patients who received physiotherapy and neural therapy in
chronic low back pain, 2-to evaluate which demographic factors are associated
with patient satisfaction mostly. Material and Methods: A
total of 109 patients with chronic low back pain was enrolled to this
study and divided into two groups: pharmacological treatment (n=49)
as non-steroid antiinflammatory and myorelaxant drugs and non-pharmacological
treatment (n=60) (25 patients who had only physiotherapy
and 35 patients who had only neural therapy). Demographic characteristics
and patient satisfaction variables (with 5 questions) was examined
by a single blind physician with phone interview. Results: There
was no relation between age, gender, having any chronic disease, working
status, educational status and patient satisfaction in all patients. All
patient satisfaction variables (p<0.001) were significantly better in patients
who received non-pharmacological treatment than patients who
received only pharmacological treatment. When patients who received
only non-pharmacological treatment were evaluated; percentage of the
pain relief (p<0.001) willingness to try this treatment again (p=0.001)
and patient satisfaction score (p<0.001) were significantly higher in
neural therapy group than physiotherapy group. Conclusion: Both
physiotherapy and neural therapy have higher patient satisfaction than
pharmacological treatment in chronic low back pain, furthermore the
pain relief was significantly better in both physiotherapy and neural
therapy methods. However the group with the most pain relief and patient
satisfaction was found to be neural therapy group in our study.
Considering the effect of neural therapy on pain, patient satisfaction, it
seems to be a good alternative to physiotherapy.
