Herpes zoster (HZ) is a segmental vesicular eruption, pain, and sensorial symptoms. Segmental motor weakness can rarely be seen as a complication of HZ. Here, we present two cases of motor paresis associated with HZ, case 1 was L2 and L3 segmental motor paresis with femoral neuropathy and case 2 was L5 and S1 segmental motor paresis with sensorial ganglion involvement. In both cases after electrotherapy, exercise program, and medication for pain, there were no motor weakness and pain. Zoster motor paresis is a rare complication that responds to treatment and physicians should be careful about its presence in clinical follow-up.

带状疱疹(HZ)是一种节段性水疱疹,疼痛和感觉症状。节段性运动无力很少被视为HZ的并发症。在这里,我们报告了两例与HZ相关的运动轻瘫,病例1为L2和L3节段性运动轻瘫伴股神经病变,病例2为L5和S1节段性运动轻瘫伴感觉神经节受累。在这两种情况下,经过电疗、运动计划和疼痛药物治疗后,都没有出现运动无力和疼痛。带状疱疹运动轻瘫是一种罕见的并发症,对治疗有反应,医生在临床随访中应注意其存在。

Objectives: Trigeminal neuralgia is a paroxysmal and shock-like pain in the trigeminal nerve area. Various treatment options have been used for trigeminal neuralgia such as medical treatment, interventional procedures, and surgical operations. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) is a minimally invasive percutaneous technique which seems to be safer and easier to perform. This retrospective study aims to evaluate the analgesic effect, duration of efficacy, and side effects of PRF procedures in the peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve.

Methods: The data of the patients with trigeminal neuralgia who were followed up in our hospital's algology clinic from 2016 to 2018 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients aged between 18 and 70 who did not respond to medical treatment or could not use medication due to side effects were treated with PRF procedure for peripheral branches of trigeminal nerve that was selected for this study. Demographic profile, clinical presentation, pain intensity, duration of efficacy, and complications were evaluated from their files.

Results: Twenty-one patients who underwent ultrasonography guided PRF procedures were included the study. Mean visual analog scale value of the patients was found to have decreased from 9.25±0.63 to 1.55±0.88 at the end of the 1st month (p<0.001). The painless period for the patients lasted up to 12 (9-21) months and no complications occurred.

Conclusion: PRF procedure seems to be an effective and safe method in patients who respond to block of the peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve.

目的:三叉神经痛是一种发生在三叉神经区域的阵发性休克样疼痛。三叉神经痛的治疗方法有多种,如药物治疗、介入治疗和外科手术。脉冲射频(PRF)是一种微创经皮技术,似乎更安全,更容易执行。本回顾性研究旨在评估三叉神经外周分支PRF手术的镇痛效果、疗效持续时间和副作用。方法:回顾性分析2016年至2018年在我院神经科门诊随访的三叉神经痛患者的资料。年龄在18 - 70岁之间,对药物治疗无效或因副作用不能使用药物的患者,采用本研究选择的三叉神经外周支PRF手术治疗。统计资料,临床表现,疼痛强度,疗效持续时间和并发症从他们的档案进行评估。结果:21例接受超声引导下PRF手术的患者纳入研究。术后1月末,患者的平均视觉模拟量表值由9.25±0.63降至1.55±0.88。(p)结论:对于三叉神经外周支阻滞患者,PRF手术是一种安全有效的方法。

Objectives: The aim of this case-control study was to evaluate the physical activity levels of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and to assess a possible relation between physical activity and FMS characteristics.

Methods: Seventy patients with FMS and 50 age-gender-matched controls were included. Pain was evaluated using the visual analog scale. The Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) scoring system was used for the evaluation of the impact of FMS. Furthermore, for assessing the physical activity in our participants, we used the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The Mann-Whitney U and Pearson's correlation tests were used for group comparisons and correlation analyses.

Results: The patients presented significantly less transportation-related, recreational, and total physical activity levels, besides reporting significantly less time spent walking and less time spent in vigorous activities than controls (p<0.05). Furthermore, there was a negative correlation between pain and the scores of self-reported moderate or vigorous physical activity (r=-0.41, p<0.01) in patients. However, we could not find any correlation between FIQ and IPAQ scores.

Conclusion: Patients with FMS are physically less active than healthy individuals. This reduced activity seems to be associated with pain, but not with the impact of the disease. In the management of the patient with FMS, considering the patient's physical activity behavior negatively affected by pain may contribute to holistic approach to the patients.

目的:本病例对照研究的目的是评估纤维肌痛综合征(FMS)患者的身体活动水平,并评估身体活动与FMS特征之间的可能关系。方法:选取70例FMS患者和50例年龄性别匹配的对照组。采用视觉模拟量表评估疼痛。采用纤维肌痛影响问卷(FIQ)评分系统评价FMS的影响。此外,为了评估参与者的身体活动,我们使用了国际身体活动问卷(IPAQ)。采用Mann-Whitney U和Pearson相关检验进行组间比较和相关分析。结果:与对照组相比,FMS患者的交通相关、娱乐和总体力活动水平显著降低,步行时间和剧烈运动时间也显著减少(结论:FMS患者的体力活动少于健康个体)。这种活动的减少似乎与疼痛有关,但与疾病的影响无关。在FMS患者的管理中,考虑到患者的身体活动行为受到疼痛的负面影响可能有助于对患者采取整体方法。

We herein present a 40-year-old female physician who was diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) 4 years ago. In the last years, the patient was in remission without any medications. Since the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, she has been stressfully working in the high-risk area, therefore using personal protective equipment (N95 mask, protective clothing, goggles, and protective cap) during the day for extended periods. Her headaches recurred and the patient was diagnosed with a relapse of IIH; acetazolamide and afterward topiramate were initiated, with diet treatment. Symptomatic metabolic acidosis, which is otherwise a rare side effect of the IIH treatment and not seen in her first attack even with higher doses, developed during the follow-up, presenting with shortness of breath and chest tightening. The emerging problems of IIH diagnosis and management during the COVID-19 pandemic will be discussed.

我们在此报告一位40岁的女医师,她在4年前被诊断为特发性颅内高压(IIH)。在过去的几年里,病人没有服用任何药物,病情得到了缓解。自2019冠状病毒病大流行以来,她一直在高风险地区工作,压力很大,因此白天长时间佩戴个人防护装备(N95口罩、防护服、护目镜、防护帽)。头痛复发,诊断为IIH复发;开始使用乙酰唑胺和托吡酯,并辅以饮食治疗。症状性代谢性酸中毒,这是IIH治疗的罕见副作用,即使在更高剂量的治疗中也未在她的第一次发作中出现,在随访期间出现呼吸短促和胸闷。讨论2019冠状病毒病大流行期间IIH诊断和管理的新问题。

vObjectives: The aim of this study is to determine the incidence and characteristics of pain in adults in Türkiye.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out with 1391 participants in 28 provinces spread across seven demographic regions of Türkiye, between February 1 and March 31, 2021. The data were collected through the introductory and pain assessment information form prepared by the researchers and the online Google forms. SPSS 25.0 statistical program was used for data analysis.

Results: As a result of the analysis of the data obtained, it was found that the average age of the participants included in the study was 40.83±7.78 years, education level was 70.4% at most, and 80.9% was female at most. It was determined that 58.1% lived in the Marmara region and 41.8% lived in Istanbul, and 41.2% were private sector employees. It was determined that the pain prevalence of adults in Türkiye was 80.84% and 79.07% of them had pain in the last year. It was determined that the region with the most pain was the head and neck region with 37.88%.

Conclusion: According to the results of the research, the prevalence of adult pain is quite high in Türkiye. Despite the high prevalence of pain, the rate of preference for drug therapy to relieve pain is low and the preference for non-drug treatment methods is high.

Objectives: In our study, we aimed to retrospectively evaluate patients who were given particulate and non-particulate steroids for transforaminal epidural steroid injection due to non-operated chronic low back pain with radicular symptoms in terms of the change in pain and the change in functional capacity before the procedure.

Methods: This study was carried out by examining the files of 130 patients, underwent an interventional procedure. Records of patients pertaining to age, gender, location of pain, Visual Analog Scale, Patient Global Impression of Change, and Oswestry Disability Index Scale (ODI) before the interventional procedure and at the 1st and 3rd months after the procedure were recorded using the hospital automation system and patient follow-up forms.

Results: The functional capacity of the patients was evaluated, and in the comparison of the ODI score before the procedure, at the 1st month, and at the 3rd month, a statistically significant difference was found in the particulate steroid group compared to the non-particulate group at the 1st and 3rd months. When evaluated using the Generalized Linear Models, a statistically significant difference was found in both groups (p=0.039), and the ODI score was approximately 2,951 units lower in patients who were treated with particulate steroids than those who were treated with non-particulate steroids at each measurement time.

Conclusion: In our study, it has been demonstrated that particulate steroids are superior to non-particulate steroids in improving functional capacity in the early period, and non-particulate steroids are advantageous in the long term.

目的:在我们的研究中,我们旨在回顾性评估因非手术性慢性腰痛伴有神经根症状而接受颗粒性和非颗粒性类固醇经椎间孔硬膜外类固醇注射的患者在手术前疼痛的变化和功能的变化。方法:对130例经介入治疗的患者资料进行分析。使用医院自动化系统和患者随访表记录介入手术前和手术后1、3个月患者的年龄、性别、疼痛部位、视觉模拟量表、患者整体印象变化和Oswestry残疾指数量表(ODI)。结果:评估患者的功能能力,在术前、第1个月、第3个月的ODI评分比较中,颗粒类固醇组与非颗粒类固醇组在第1、3个月的差异有统计学意义。当使用广义线性模型进行评估时,发现两组之间存在统计学上的显著差异(p=0.039),并且在每次测量时,接受颗粒类固醇治疗的患者的ODI评分比接受非颗粒类固醇治疗的患者低约2,951个单位。结论:在我们的研究中,颗粒类固醇在早期改善功能能力方面优于非颗粒类固醇,而非颗粒类固醇在长期改善功能能力方面具有优势。

Unexpected motor block after ultrasound-guided lumbar erector Spinae plane block. 超声引导腰椎竖立者脊柱平面阻滞后意外运动阻滞。

The successful use of the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been reported for post-operative analgesia in numerous operations due to the widespread use of local anesthetic (LA) and the blocking of the dorsal and ventral rami. ESPB has also been effective for easing lumbar back pain caused by lumbar disc herniation through a high-volume LA application to the lumbar area. While high-volume LA administration increases the effectiveness of the block, it can also cause unexpected side effects due to its coverage area. In the literature, only one study has reported on the development of motor weakness following ESPB application, in a case in which the block was performed at the thoracic level. In the present study, a 67-year-old female patient with lower back and leg pain resulting from lumbar disc herniation developed a bilateral motor block following lumbar ESPB. This is the second report of this type of case in the literature.

在许多手术中,由于广泛使用局麻(LA)和阻滞背支和腹支,成功地使用竖脊平面阻滞(ESPB)用于术后镇痛。ESPB也有效缓解腰椎间盘突出症引起的腰背部疼痛,通过大容量LA应用于腰椎区域。虽然大剂量给药增加了阻断的有效性,但由于其覆盖范围,它也可能导致意想不到的副作用。在文献中,只有一项研究报道了ESPB应用后运动无力的发展,该病例在胸部水平进行了阻滞。在本研究中,一名67岁女性患者因腰椎间盘突出导致腰背部和腿部疼痛,在腰椎ESPB后出现双侧运动阻滞。这是文献中关于这类病例的第二份报告。

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of portable infrared Pupillometer, Critical Care Pain Observation Scale (CPOT), and vital sign changes during painful procedures on patients with mechanical ventilators in the intensive care unit (ICU), and comparing the efficacy of these methods to detect the presence of pain.

Methods: In 50 patients who could not verbally state pain, admitted to Necmettin Erbakan University Meram Faculty of Medicine ICU, aged 18-75 years, and connected to a mechanical ventilator, vital sign changes, CPOT scale assessments, and pain evaluation with a portable infrared pupillometer were performed during endotracheal aspiration and position changes, which are defined as painful stimuli.

Results: Data were collected from 50 patients with a mean age of 57.4±17.9 years and 48% of males. The systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure and heart rate values, CPOT scores, and pupillometric measurements of the patients increased significantly at the time of aspiration and change of position (p<0.05). Neurological pupil index scores showed a significant decrease at the time of painful stimulation (p<0.05).

Conclusion: It was found that pupil diameter changes evaluated using a portable infrared pupillometric measuring device can be used effectively and reliably in pain assessment in patients who are treated in the ICU, supported by mechanical ventilation and who cannot communicate verbally.

目的:探讨便携式红外瞳孔计、重症监护疼痛观察量表(CPOT)和生命体征变化对重症监护病房(ICU)机械呼吸机患者疼痛过程的影响,并比较这些方法对疼痛存在的检测效果。方法:对50例不能言语描述疼痛的患者,年龄18-75岁,连接机械呼吸机,在气管内吸痰和体位改变过程中进行生命体征变化、CPOT量表评估和便携式红外瞳孔计疼痛评估,定义为疼痛刺激。结果:50例患者资料收集,平均年龄57.4±17.9岁,男性48%。吸痰和体位改变时患者的收缩压、舒张压、平均动脉压和心率值、CPOT评分、瞳孔测量值均显著升高(p)。结论:便携式红外瞳孔测量仪测量瞳孔直径变化可有效、可靠地用于ICU治疗、机械通气支持、不能言语交流的患者的疼痛评估。
