Objective: Radio frequency thermocoagulation (RFT) is a relatively new modality and has been recommended for treatment of back pain diagnosed as to be originating from spinal facet joints. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of this novel procedure in our patients with lumbar facet syndrome in our department of algology.

The mechanical properties of intact and traumatized epidural catheters Ates, Y; Yucesoy, CA; Unlu, MA; Saygin, B; Akkas, N (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2000-02-01) Comparative data on the mechanical properties of epidural catheters used clinically are not available. We performed a controlled laboratory investigation to assess the mechanical performance of three different intact or traumatized catheter types (Polyurethane, clear nylon, and radiopaque nylon catheters, designed for 18-gauge Tuohy needles). We studied a control (intact) and two trauma groups (needle bevel and surgical blade). Catheters were loaded to their breaking points by using a Lloyd LS500 material t...
The Effects of Clinical and Home‐based Physiotherapy Programs in Secondary Head and Neck Lymphedema Ozdemir, Kadirhan; Keser, Ilke; Duzlu, Mehmet; Erpolat, Ozge P.; Saranlı, Uluç; Tutar, Hakan (Wiley, 2020-10-28) Objectives/Hypothesis: To determine the effects of complex decongestive physiotherapy (CDP) and home programs on external lymphedema, staging of lymphedema, fibrosis, and three-dimensional (3D) surface scanning and volume evaluation in head and neck lymphedema. Study Design: A prospective randomized controlled study. Methods: Twenty-one patients were randomly divided into three groups: CDP (n:7), home program (n:7), and control (n:7). Assessment methods were applied at baseline and 4 weeks later for all gro...
Reliability of a Novel Visual Feedback System Developed for Increasing the Efficiency of Posterior Pelvic Tilt Exercise Mengi, Gonen; Gencay-Can, Asli; Demirsoy, Nesrin; Tomsuk, Emrah; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Beyazova, Mehmet (2014-09-01) Objectives: This study aimed to develop and assess the reliability of a visual feedback system intended to improve the patient's perception and the performance of posterior pelvic tilt [PPT] exercises. The feedback setup designed and constructed by the authors included a bed covered with a mat with three embedded force sensors corresponding to the lumbosacral region of the subject lying supine; a data acquisition card to collect and convert data; and two monitors, one above the subject and one on the physic...
The association between metabolic syndrome and its components with systemic lupus erythematosus: a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies Hallajzadeh, J.; Khoramdad, M.; Izadi, N.; Karamzad, N.; Almasi-Hashiani, A.; Ayubi, E.; Qorbani, M.; Pakzad, R.; Sullman, M. J. M.; Safiri, S. (2018-05-01) Objectives: Based upon inflammatory-related factors in chronic systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), as well as the long-term prescription of corticosteroids, metabolic syndrome (MetS) prevalence is expected to be higher in SLE patients than among those without SLE. The aim of this study was to systematically analyze: (1) the worldwide prevalence of MetS in patients with SLE using different criteria, (2) the risk of MetS in patients with SLE compared with those without SLE, and (3) the risk of MetS component ...
Differential efficiency of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in dominant versus nondominant hands in fibromyalgia: placebo-controlled functional near-infrared spectroscopy study EKEN, AYKUT; KARA, MURAT; BASKAK, BORA; Baltaci, Aysegul; Gökçay, Didem (2018-01-01) Using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), modulation of hemodynamic responses by transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) during delivery of nociceptive stimulation was investigated in fibromyalgia (FM) patients and healthy controls for both hands. Two experiments were conducted: (1) median nerve stimulation with TENS and (2) painful stimulation using electronic von Frey filaments with TENS/placebo TENS. Mean Delta HbO(2) brain activity was compared across groups and conditions using fa...
