Publication Metadata only The Efficacy of Tai Chi and Yoga in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Spondyloarthropathies: A narrative biomedical review(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2018) AKYÜZ, GÜLSEREN DERYA; Akyuz, Gulseren; Kenis-Coskun, OzgeRheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthropathies (SpA) are among the most common inflammatory rheumatic diseases, which might induce chronic pain for their sufferers. Mind-body interventions like Tai Chi and yoga are among the many alternative therapies for combatting chronic pain. This review aims to overview the articles about their effectiveness in RA and SpA. We searched PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science for English-language sources from their inception through September 2017. Case-control studies, interventional studies, and case series that included more than three cases and randomized crossover studies were included. The literature search retrieved 133 non-duplicate records, and 15 of them were eligible and were included in this review. The influence of Tai Chi remains debatable in RA, while there is only one study that investigated its efficacy in SpA. Yoga seems effective in decreasing pain and inflammation while increasing quality of life. There are no data available about its effect on SpA. Even after a thorough research, the number of articles is quite limited on the effectiveness of Tai Chi and yoga in RA and SpA. While these complementary approaches still show some promise as alternative therapies in RA and SpA, the literature lacks long-term studies with larger patient groups.Publication Open Access Pain Relief due to Transsacrococcygeal Ganglion Impar Block in Chronic Coccygodynia: A Pilot Study(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2015-07) GÜNDÜZ, OSMAN HAKAN; Gunduz, Osman Hakan; Sencan, Savas; Kenis-Coskun, OzgeObjectiveCoccygodynia is a distressing condition that presents with pain around the coccyx. Impar (Walther) ganglion is a sympathetic ganglion located at the end of lumbosacral sympathetic chain. The objective of this study is to share our results and follow up of 34 ganglion impar blocks in 22 patients. DesignRetrospective pilot study. SettingInterventional Pain Clinic in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in a university hospital. SubjectsTwenty-two patients with coccygodynia who did not respond to conservative treatment and then presented to interventional pain clinic of a PM&R department in a university hospital MethodsPain was evaluated via 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS). VAS values were obtained before, 1 hour and 3 weeks after injection and during this study was conducted. ResultsFor achieving at least 50% relief of pain, the success rate of a first injection was 82%, but accounted for three technical failures. In patients with a successful outcome, relief lasted for a median duration of 6 months. Relief was reinstated for a median period of 17 months by a second injection in nine patients who presented for repeat treatment. No relief was achieved in two of these patients when they presented for a third treatment. ConclusionsGanglion impar block appears to be effective in patients who have coccygodynia resistant to conservative therapy, with high success rates and prolonged duration of effect. Controlled studies are required to reveal the mechanism of this effect.Publication Open Access Reply to the Letter by J. Hambraeus, 'Ganglion Impar Blocks for More than Coccygodynia'(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2016-03-15) GÜNDÜZ, OSMAN HAKAN; Gunduz, Osman Hakan; Sencan, Savas; Kenis-Coskun, OzgePublication Open Access Validity and reliability of the turkish version of "cardiac rehabilitation barriers scale"(2019) ÖZBEN SADIÇ, BESTE; Coşkun, Özge Keniş; Yağcı, İlker; Göçmen, Selma; Sağdıç, Beste ÖzbenPublication Open Access Increased stiffness of median nerve in systemic sclerosis(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2017-12) YAĞCI, İLKER; Yagci, Ilker; Kenis-Coskun, Ozge; Ozsoy, Tugba; Ozen, Gulsen; Direskeneli, HanerBackground: Systemic sclerosis can affect peripheral nerves, but the extent and the nature of this involvement are not well defined. The aim of this study is to compare the sonoelastrographic measurements of median nerves in systemic sclerosis (SSC), idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and healthy individuals. Methods: The clinical, electrophysiological and ultrasonographic assessments were done. Patients with SSC and CTS were assessed with nerve conduction studies. The measurements of cross sectional areas (CSA) were performed at psiform and forearm level from axial US images. The elastic ratio is the ratio of strain distribution in two selected region of interests (ROI) done via comparing the median nerve to flexor digitorum superfcialis tendon. The ROIs were fixed to 2 mm. Results: The study was completed with 47 hands of 24 patients with SSC, 53 hands of 27 patients with CTS and 38 hands of health controls. The CSA of CTS group was significantly higher than systemic sclerosis and control groups. The elastic ratio at psiform level and forearm levels of systemic sclerosis group were significantly higher than the CTS and control groups. Conclusion: Median nerves lose the elasticity while the CSA's are in the normal range in patients with SSC. These results suggested that the increased peripheral nerve involvement in SSC is about the increased stiffness of the nerves.Publication Metadata only Ganglion Impar block improves neuropathic pain in coccygodynia: A preliminary report(ELSEVIER URBAN & PARTNER SP Z O O, 2018) GÜNDÜZ, OSMAN HAKAN; Sencan, Savas; Kenis-Coskun, Ozge; Demir, Fatma Gul Ulku; Cuce, Isa; Ercalik, Tulay; Gunduz, Osman HakanAim of the study: To define the effectiveness of ganglion Impar block in improving neuropathic pain. Materials and methods: Patients who had pain around the coccyx for more than three months and did not respond to conservative treatment were included in this study. All the patients underwent fluoroscopy guided transsacrococcygeal ganglion Impar block with injecting 3 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine, 2 mL saline, and 1 mL (40 mg) of methylprednisolone. Patients were evaluated with visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, Leeds assessment of neuropathic symptoms and signs scale (LANSS) for neuropathic pain, Beck depression Inventory (BDI) for mood and Short-form 12 (SF-12) for quality of life before, 1 month 3 months and 6 months after the injection. Patients' painless sitting duration was also recorded. Results: A total of 28 patients were included in the final analyses. VAS and LANSS scores improved significantly throughout the follow-up periods. BDI scores also improved while SF-12 scores did not show significant changes. Painless sitting period of the patients' improved significantly. Conclusions: Ganglion Impar block is effective in decreasing the neuropathic component of chronic coccygodynia. This improves painless sitting in patients but its reflections on quality of life is not clear. (C) 2018 Polish Neurological Society. Published by Elsevier Sp. z o.o.

Patients and methods: Between December 2013 and July 2015, a total of 24 children with CP (5 boys, 19 girls; mean age 61.1 months; range 35 to 105 months) with impaired trunk control were included in this single-blind, randomized-controlled study. All were randomized to either of the three groups as the control group (received only conventional exercise therapy), the SPIO 2-hour group (worn orthosis two hours during therapy), and the SPIO 6-hour group (worn orthosis four hours in addition to two hours of wear during therapy). The Sitting Assessment Scale (SAS), Cobb angle, kyphotic angle, and Migration Index were used to evaluate the trunk posture and hip lateralization before treatment and at six months after treatment. Results: The SAS scores improved compared to baseline in all groups. The Cobb angle and kyphotic angle showed a significant decrease at six months after treatment only in the SPIO groups, while intra-group analysis of the Migration Index did not show a statistically significant difference. Changes in the radiographic assessments were similar among the groups, except for the kyphotic angles. The kyphotic angle showed less change in the control group. Comparison of the SPIO groups showed no significant differences in terms of the variables assessed. Conclusion: The SPIO vest improves the kyphotic posture, but not scoliosis and hip lateralization in children with CP with impaired trunk control when used in combination with the conventional therapy. Using the SPIO vest for two and six hours also yields similar outcomes.Publication Metadata only Relationship between obesity and musculoskeletal system findings among children and adolescents(BAYCINAR MEDICAL PUBL-BAYCINAR TIBBI YAYINCILIK, 2017) UZUNER, ARZU; Merder-Coskun, Demet; Uzuner, Arzu; Kenis-Coskun, Ozge; Celenlioglu, Alp Eren; Akman, Mehmet; Karadag-Saygi, EvrimObjectives: This study aims to demonstrate the relationship between obesity and musculoskeletal system examination findings and functionality among 5-16 years old population-based sample. Patients and methods: This is a cross-sectional field study. Sample of this study was selected from 4,246 participants of a study, which assessed the prevalence of obesity among school children aged between 6-15 in Pendik, Istanbul, in 2013-2014 school year. Physical examination included inspection, gait, balance, muscle strength and range of motion (ROM) assessment. Turkish version of Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) was used. Physical examination findings and PODCI scores of normal weight and overweight/obese groups were compared. Correlation between body mass index (BMI), ROM and PODCI subscale scores were also evaluated. Results: A total of 318 children were included in the study. 39.3% (n=125) were normal weight, 61.7% (n=193) were overweight/obese. Pes planus was the most common musculoskeletal problem with a rate of 23.9%. We found that pes planus was more common (p=0.000), standing time on one leg was shorter (p=0.002), time to complete timed up and go test (TUG) was longer (p=0.004) and happiness subscale scores of PODCI were lower (p=0.000) in overweight/obese children compared to their normal weight peers. Range of motion values were decreased, especially on the lower limbs, in overweight/obese children (p<0.05) compared to normal weight children. Body mass index values showed a negative correlation with ROM and PODCI happiness subscale scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: Musculoskeletal problems are more common in overweight/obese children than in their normal weight peers. Increase in BMI correlates with decrease in balance, emotional functionality and ROM values. It may be possible to protect overweight/obese children from serious musculoskeletal disorders by interventions that reduce BMI.Publication Metadata only Caregiver burden in children with cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia(WILEY, 2019) KARADAĞ, BÜLENT TANER; Coskun, Ozge Kenis; Atalay, Kardelen Gencer; Erdem, Ela; Karadag-Saygi, Evrim; Gokdemir, Yasemin; Karadag, BulentIntroduction Caregiver burden impacts both the social and economic framework of society. Cystic fibrosis (CF) causes significant caregiver burden, but the current data is scarce. In the case of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), even less is known. This study aims to compare the caregiver burden of the parents of patients with CF and PCD. Methods Patients with CF and PCD between the ages of 6 to 13 and their parents were included. Patients' clinical information and parents' demographics were recorded. Caregiver burden was measured with Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale (ZCB), while the quality of life (QOL) was measured with CFQOL-revised (CFQOL-R) and PCD QOL questionnaire as the patients' age and diagnosis indicated. Results A total of 63 patients, 44 with CF (69%) and 85 caregivers (35 mothers, 6 fathers, and 22 mother-father dyads) participated in the study. Caregiver burden was significantly higher in mothers of the CF group with a mean ZCB of 30.5 +/- 10.7 when compared to the PCD group with a mean ZCB of 21.93 +/- 8.26 (P = .006). This was similar in fathers with mean ZCB of 27.5 +/- 9.21 in the CF group and 20.36 +/- 7.43 in the PCD group (P = .03). In correlation analyses, mothers' caregiver burden moderately and inversely correlated with CFQOL-R subscales in the CF population. Conclusion Caregiver burden is significantly higher in the CF population when compared to PCD. It is correlated with pulmonary functions and QOL in patients with CF.Publication Metadata only Function in unaffected arms of children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy(W.B. Saunders Ltd, 2018) KARADAĞ SAYGI, NAİME EVRİM; Aktaş D., Eren B., Keniş-Coşkun Ö., Karadag-Saygi E.Objective: The objective is to compare the fine and gross motor function of unaffected arms of children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBBP) with typically developing children's dominant upper extremities. Methods: Fifty-three patients with OBBP and fifty-one typically developing children between the age of 4 and 13 were included in the study. For gross motor function evaluation in the upper extremity box-block test (BBT), for fine motor skill nine-hole peg (9HP) test was used. For grasp and pinch strength measurements, a Jamar dynamometer is used. Results: The patient group performed significantly worse in 9HP and BBT tests. When further divided into age groups, 4–8 age patient group performed significantly worse in 9HP and BBT tests, while there were no differences in children in the 9–13 age group. Conclusions: The fine and gross motor functions of the unaffected arms of children with OBPP are significantly worse in children between the ages of four and eight but this deficit improves with age, and possibly with ongoing therapy. © 2018 European Paediatric Neurology Society
