Objectives: Headache is one of the most common health problems, and it severely reduces the quality of life. The present study examines the efficacy of greater occipital nerve (GON) block in patients monitored for primary headaches.

Methods: The present study includes 53 patients monitored by the headache outpatient clinic from March 2017 to June 2018, evaluates them for headache type, attack duration, attack frequency, severity of pain, and analgesic intake and compares the initial values with the follow-up values at months 1, 3, and 6.

Results: The study group comprises 36 episodic migraine cases, 12 tension-type headache (TTH) cases, 4 chronic migraine cases, and 1 cluster headache case. In migraine group, VAS scores, attack durations, and the mean value of monthly number of attacks and analgesics taken significantly decrease compared to initial values at the end of the 6-month follow-up period. In TTH group, VAS scores, attack durations, and the mean value of monthly number of attacks and analgesics taken significantly decrease compared to initial values at the end of the 3-month follow-up period. Since only 2 of 12 patients completed the 6-month follow-up, although there was a decrease in the 6-month data, it was found to be statistically insignificant.

Conclusion: Repetitive GON block is an effective treatment method for migraine and TTH.

目的:头痛是最常见的健康问题之一,它严重降低了生活质量。本研究探讨了枕大神经阻滞对原发性头痛患者的疗效。方法:选取2017年3月至2018年6月在头痛门诊监测的53例患者,对其头痛类型、发作持续时间、发作频率、疼痛严重程度、镇痛药摄入等进行评估,并与随访第1、3、6个月的初始值进行比较。结果:研究组包括发作性偏头痛36例,紧张性头痛12例,慢性偏头痛4例,丛集性头痛1例。在偏头痛组,VAS评分、发作持续时间、每月发作次数和服用镇痛药的平均值在6个月随访结束时较初始值显著降低。TTH组VAS评分、发作持续时间、每月发作次数和服用镇痛药的平均值在3个月随访结束时均较初始值显著降低。由于12例患者中只有2例完成了6个月的随访,虽然6个月的数据有所减少,但发现其统计学意义不显著。结论:反复肾上腺素阻断是治疗偏头痛和TTH的有效方法。

We aimed to inform transient neurological symptoms after spinal anesthesia and to review postpartum neurological deficits of regional anesthesia. A previously healthy 25-year-old primigravid woman underwent an elective cesarean section. Hypotension and bradycardia were not observed during the operation. On the 25th day postpartum, the patient suffered from numbness and weakness at the lower extremity. On neurological assessment, the muscle strengths in the gastrocnemius and quadriceps bilaterally were 2/5 (+) and 3/5 (+), respectively. The muscle strength at foot dorsiflexion and plantar flexion were 2/5 (+) bilaterally. The patient was unable to walk on toes and walked on heels, and the lower extremities were hypoesthetic. The patellar and the Achilles tendon reflexes were bilaterally negative. No pathological findings could be detected on lumbosacral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Electromyography revealed a mixed type of polyneuropathy. The symptoms relieved partially at the end of the 2nd month and regressed completely at the end of the 3rd month. To prevention of irreversible postpartum permanent neurologic deficits, the diagnosis should be made using a detailed neurologic examination along with MRI or computed tomography.

我们的目的是了解脊髓麻醉后短暂的神经系统症状,并回顾产后区域麻醉的神经功能缺损。一名健康的25岁初产妇接受了选择性剖宫产手术。术中未见低血压、心动过缓。产后第25天,患者出现下肢麻木无力。在神经学评估中,两侧腓肠肌和股四头肌的肌力分别为2/5(+)和3/5(+)。双侧足背屈和足底屈的肌力为2/5(+)。患者不能用脚尖行走,也不能用脚跟行走,下肢有假感。双侧髌骨和跟腱反射均为阴性。腰骶部磁共振成像未见病理改变。肌电图显示混合型多发性神经病。第2月末症状部分缓解,第3月末症状完全消退。为了预防不可逆的产后永久性神经功能缺损,诊断应使用详细的神经系统检查以及MRI或计算机断层扫描。

Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the factors that may be related to the headache experienced by health-care professionals in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Methods: The target population of the study consisted of the health-care professionals working in the COVID-19 pandemic. The questionnaire form consisted of 40 questions. The demographic information of the participants, the presence of contact with the COVID-19 patient, they used which personal protective equipment (PPE) and how often, the effect of the pandemic process on the lifestyle, the presence of visual defects, the effect of the pandemic process on water consumption, the presence of old or de novo headaches, the factors that may affect this headache, and the factors that reduce the pain were questioned in the survey.

Results: A total of 177 health-care professionals participated in the study. About 93.8% of the participants use masks daily for more than 4 h. About 62.7% of the participants stated that their water consumption increased on the days when they used PPE. About 72.3% of the participants reported disruption in sleep patterns, 83.1% of them reported increase in their stress and anxiety. About 65.5% of the participants experienced headaches during the pandemic process. They reported that the most likely causes of headache were excessive sweating and difficulty in breathing due to the use of PPE.

Conclusion: During the pandemic, a substantial portion of health-care professionals experiences headaches. Besides the physical difficulties caused by the use of PPE, the stress caused by the pandemic process should not be ignored.

目的:本研究的目的是确定可能与2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行期间卫生保健专业人员头痛相关的因素。方法:研究的目标人群为在COVID-19大流行中工作的卫生保健专业人员。问卷由40个问题组成。调查中询问了参与者的人口统计信息、是否与COVID-19患者有过接触、使用何种个人防护装备(PPE)以及使用频率、大流行过程对生活方式的影响、是否存在视觉缺陷、大流行过程对用水量的影响、是否存在老年性或新发性头痛、可能影响这种头痛的因素以及减轻疼痛的因素。结果:共有177名卫生保健专业人员参与了本研究。约93.8%的参与者每天使用口罩超过4小时。约62.7%的参与者表示,他们在使用PPE的日子里用水量增加。大约72.3%的参与者报告睡眠模式中断,83.1%的人报告压力和焦虑增加。约65.5%的参与者在大流行过程中经历过头痛。他们报告说,最可能引起头痛的原因是由于使用个人防护装备而出汗过多和呼吸困难。结论:在大流行期间,相当一部分卫生保健专业人员感到头痛。除了使用个人防护装备造成的身体困难外,大流行过程造成的压力也不应忽视。

Cervicogenic headache (CEH) is a headache arising from cervical nociceptive structures such as facet joints, disci intervertebrales, muscles and ligaments. Myofascial trigger points (TrPs) are common factors in patients with CEH and contribute to the pain and disability. In this report, we present two patients with CEH who had TrPs in their upper trapezius muscles. Each patient received an ultrasound-guided interfascial block of the trapezius muscle. Case 1 A 79-year-old female patient presented with a complaint of headache due to trigger point in her upper trapezius muscle. Her Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score for pain intensity was 10. We performed an ultrasound-guided interfascial block of the trapezius muscle. Her NRS score at 30 minutes after the procedure was 2. The patient was pain free during the two months follow-up period. Case 2 A 55-year-old female patient presented with a complaint of headache due to trigger point in her upper trapezius muscle. Her Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score for pain intensity was 8. We performed an ultrasound-guided interfascial block of the trapezius muscle. Her NRS score at 30 minutes after procedure was 3. The patient was pain free during the two weeks follow-up period. The structure of the fascia can ease diffusion of an injected anaesthetic during diagnostic and therapeutic blocks, and interfascial injections are becoming more common. We suggest that this treatment may produce positive effects for patients with CEH caused by trigger points.

颈源性头痛(CEH)是一种由颈椎痛觉结构引起的头痛,如小关节、椎间椎间盘、肌肉和韧带。肌筋膜触发点(TrPs)是CEH患者的常见因素,并有助于疼痛和残疾。在本报告中,我们报告了两例CEH患者,他们的上斜方肌有trp。每位患者均接受超声引导下斜方肌筋膜间阻滞。病例1一名79岁女性患者,主诉因上斜方肌触发点头痛。疼痛强度数值评定量表(NRS)评分为10分。我们在超声引导下对斜方肌进行了筋膜间阻滞。术后30分钟的NRS评分为2分。随访2个月,患者无疼痛。病例2一名55岁女性患者,主诉因上斜方肌触发点头痛。疼痛强度数值评定量表(NRS)评分为8分。我们在超声引导下对斜方肌进行了筋膜间阻滞。术后30分钟NRS评分为3分。在两周的随访期间,患者无疼痛。在诊断和治疗阻滞期间,筋膜的结构可以缓解注射麻醉剂的扩散,筋膜间注射正变得越来越普遍。我们认为这种治疗可能对由触发点引起的CEH患者产生积极的影响。

The term post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) refers to a common complication that occurs after accidental dural puncture. One of the diagnostic symptoms of PDPH is a postural headache, which worsens dramatically while sitting or standing and is relieved mostly by lying down. This symptom is caused by a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, leading to decreased CSF pressure or low CSF volume, which provokes a shift of intracranial contents and traction on pain-sensitive structures in the upright position. PDPH is commonly a self-limited condition and remits spontaneously within 2 weeks, or becomes less severe after surgical intervention to seal the leak with autologous epidural blood patch (EBP). Although recurrence of spontaneous intracranial hypotension following an EBP is not rare, spontaneously late recurrence of PDPH has been rarely reported. The purpose of this paper is to discuss this case with late recurrence of PDPH after 10 months following EBP.

硬脑膜穿刺后头痛(PDPH)是指意外硬脑膜穿刺后发生的一种常见并发症。PDPH的诊断症状之一是体位性头痛,当坐着或站着时,这种头痛会急剧恶化,大多数情况下躺下可以缓解。这种症状是由脑脊液(CSF)泄漏引起的,导致脑脊液压力降低或脑脊液容量降低,从而引起颅内内容物的移位和对直立位置疼痛敏感的结构的牵引。PDPH通常是一种自限性疾病,并在2周内自行缓解,或在手术干预后用自体硬膜外血贴(EBP)封堵泄漏后变得不那么严重。虽然EBP术后自发性颅内低血压的复发并不罕见,但自发性晚期复发的PDPH却很少有报道。本文的目的是讨论该病例在EBP术后10个月后晚期复发的PDPH。

Objectives: This research was conducted to determine low back pain in nurses and their methods of coping with low back pain.

Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed with 356 nurses in three university hospitals in the province of Istanbul in April-August 2016. Percentage calculations and Chi-square tests were used in statistical analyses.

Results: The mean age of the nurses in the study was 28.70±5.92, 25.3% were working in intensive care, 46.6% worked 41-48 h a week, and 55.6% stood for 5-8 h within a 24 h period. Low back pain was moderate in 75.8% of participants, and low back pains sometimes affected work efficiency in 43.3% (n=154). In terms of coping, the great majority of participants did not visit a physician, but used analgesics, avoided wearing high-heeled shoes, and slept in hard beds. Statistical significance (p<0.05) was observed between participants' age groups, the unit where they worked, type of duty, the amount of time spent standing, and the amount of time standing in the same position and low back pain.

Conclusion: Based on the results obtained, nurses experienced a moderate level of low back pain, and we think that experiencing low back pain is a continuous risk for nurses because of their lengthy hours of work and time spent standing, and that their working hours should, therefore, be adjusted and that correct body mechanics should be included during in-service training.

目的:本研究旨在了解护士腰痛情况及应对腰痛的方法。方法:2016年4月至8月,对伊斯坦布尔省三所大学医院的356名护士进行了描述性横断面研究。统计分析采用百分比计算和卡方检验。结果:本组护士的平均年龄为28.70±5.92岁,25.3%的护士在重症监护室工作,46.6%的护士每周工作41 ~ 48 h, 55.6%的护士在24 h内工作5 ~ 8 h。75.8%的参与者腰痛中度,43.3%的参与者腰痛有时会影响工作效率(n=154)。在应对方面,绝大多数参与者没有去看医生,而是使用止痛药,避免穿高跟鞋,睡硬床。结论:根据所得结果,护士存在中等程度的腰痛,我们认为由于护士工作时间长,站立时间长,腰痛对护士来说是一种持续的风险,因此应调整护士的工作时间,并在在职培训中纳入正确的身体力学。

Objectives: We aimed to compare the treatment response with simultaneous application of transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TESI) and pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) to the lumbar dorsal root ganglion (DRG) with TESI in patients with chronic lumbar radicular pain.

Methods: A total of 129 patients were enrolled. TESI was performed to 67 patients and TESI+DRG-PRF was performed to 62 patients. Demographic data, surgical records, and medications, side, and level of the procedure were recorded. Patients were evaluated on the pre-operative and post-operative 10th day, 1st and 3rd month follow-up visits, and visual analog scale (VAS, 0-10) scores, and patients' satisfaction assessment on the 3rd month follow-up were collected. A successful therapeutic response was defined as a 50% or more reduction in VAS scores.

Results: In both groups, post-operative VAS scores were significantly lower than the pre-operative levels (p<0.001). VAS scores in the TESI+DRG-PRF group were significantly lower than the TESI group at all follow-up periods (p˂0.001). Reduction ratios in VAS scores were significantly higher in the TESI+DRG-PRF group in all follow-up visits (p˂-0.001). Satisfaction levels were significantly higher in the TESI+DRG-PRF group (p˂0.01).

Conclusion: According to our study, TESI provides short-moderate pain relief in patients with chronic lumbar radicular pain. A simultaneous application of PRF in the same session with TESI should be considered as an option to improve the treatment response.

目的:我们旨在比较经椎间孔硬膜外类固醇注射(TESI)和脉冲射频(PRF)同时应用于腰椎背根神经节(DRG)与TESI治疗慢性腰根性疼痛患者的疗效。方法:共纳入129例患者。67例患者行TESI, 62例患者行TESI+DRG-PRF。记录了人口统计资料、手术记录、药物、手术部位和手术水平。对患者进行术前、术后第10天、第1、3个月的随访,收集患者随访第3个月的视觉模拟量表(VAS, 0-10分)评分和患者满意度评估。成功的治疗反应被定义为VAS评分降低50%或更多。结果:两组患者术后VAS评分均显著低于术前水平(p结论:根据我们的研究,TESI可缓解慢性腰根性疼痛患者的短期中度疼痛。应考虑在同一疗程中同时应用PRF和TESI,作为改善治疗反应的一种选择。

Epidural anesthesia and thoracic paravertebral blocks have been the mainstay of regional anesthesia for thoracic surgery for many years. Following introduction of ultrasound use during regional anesthesia practices, new blocks named interfascial plane blocks have been introduced into clinical practice. Although interfascial plane blocks fail to provide surgical anesthesia their contribution to providing analgesia is clinically important. In this review we mention the most commonly accepted blocks namely pectoral blocks, serratus anterior plane block, erector spinae plane block and rhomboid blocks.

硬膜外麻醉和胸椎旁阻滞多年来一直是胸外科区域麻醉的主要方法。随着超声在区域麻醉实践中的应用,称为筋膜间平面阻滞的新阻滞已被引入临床实践。虽然膜间平面阻滞不能提供手术麻醉,但其在提供镇痛方面的贡献在临床上是重要的。在这篇综述中,我们提到了最普遍接受的阻滞,即胸肌阻滞、前锯肌阻滞、竖脊肌阻滞和菱形阻滞。
