    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, Ozge
    Rheumatoid 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.

    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, Ozge
    ObjectiveCoccygodynia 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.

    Validity and Reliability of Quick Motor Function Test in Ambulatory Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Patients
    (2022-12-06) KENİŞ COŞKUN, ÖZGE; KARADAĞ SAYGI, NAİME EVRİM; Imamoglu S., KENİŞ COŞKUN Ö., Deveci M., Ozturk G., Karadag-Saygi E.
    The quick motor function test (QMFT) is used to evaluate Pompe patients\" motor function. This study aims to evaluate the convergent validity and reliability of the cross-culturally adapted Turkish version of QMFT in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Twenty-eight patients diagnosed with DMD were included in the study. The QMFT was translated and adapted to Turkish. The functionality of the patients was assessed with the north star ambulatory assessment (NSAA) and the 6-minute walk test (6MWT); muscle strength was evaluated with a hand-held dynamometer. There were two separate practitioners on the first day of the QMFT study; it was applied a second time by the first practitioner 14 days later. The mean age of DMD patients was 9.03 +/- 3.39 (minimum 4-maximum 18. Twenty-seven patients concluded all the necessary assessments. Intrarater reliability of QMFT in patients with DMD was intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) = 0.98, and interrater reliability ICC = 0.98 was excellent. QMFT correlated very well with 6MWT ( r (s) = 0.86; p < 0.001) and NSAA ( r (s) = 0.91; p < 0.001). Both the QMFT and NSAA show stronger correlations with proximal muscle groups (convergent validity) than with distal muscle groups (divergent validity). QMFT is a reliable and valid test for evaluating motor function in patients with DMD.

    The effect of telerehabilitation on quality of life, anxiety, and depression in children with cystic fibrosis and caregivers: A single-blind randomized trial
    (2022-05-01) KENİŞ COŞKUN, ÖZGE; KARADAĞ SAYGI, NAİME EVRİM; KENİŞ COŞKUN Ö., Aksoy A. N., Kumas E. N., Yilmaz A., Guven E., Ayaz H. H., Sozer T., ERGENEKON A. P., Karadag-Saygi E.
    Background Postural and aerobic exercises are essential in rehabilitation in cystic fibrosis (CF). The aim of this study is to examine the effect of telerehabilitation on the quality of life, depression, and anxiety levels of children with CF and their caregivers\" mood and anxiety levels. Materials and Methods Patients between the ages of 6-13 with CF were randomized into two groups. Study group received an exercise program three times a week via Zoom for 12 weeks. Cystic Fibrosis Revised Questionnaire (CFQ-R), Anxiety and Depression Scale in Children-Revised (RCADS) were applied to the patients and State-Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were applied to the caregivers in the beginning and at the end of the program. Patients\" FEV1 levels and 6-min walk tests were also measured. Results Twenty-eight patient-caregiver dyads, 14 dyads in each group, completed the study. The initial mean RCADS-Major depressive disorder score of the patients in the exercise group was 6.21 +/- 3.11, and this value decreased to 3.92 +/- 3.79 at the end of the study and was significantly better (p < 0.02). A similar significant change was observed when the RCADS-generalized anxiety disorder score decreased from the initial mean level of 6.28 +/- 2.81 to 3.42 +/- 2.65 (p < 0.01). There were significant changes in improvement in the body image in telerehabilitation group. Similar significant changes were not observed in the control group. Caregivers\" anxiety and depression levels did not change significantly. Conclusion A short-term telerehabilitation program improved patients\" anxiety and depression levels, body image, and functional status. However, caregiver anxiety and depression levels did not change significantly.

    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, Haner
    Background: 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.

    Small touches to big walks-the impact of rehabilitation on Sjögren-Larsson syndrome: A case report
    (2022-07-16) YOLCU, GÜNAY; KENİŞ COŞKUN, ÖZGE; KARADAĞ SAYGI, NAİME EVRİM; YOLCU G., Huseynli L., KENİŞ COŞKUN Ö., Karadag-Saygi E.
    © 2022-IOS Press. All rights reserved.Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) is a rare neurocutaneous disorder characterized by the presence of congenital ichthyosis, spasticity, and mental retardation. As with other rare genetic diseases, treatment is mainly symptomatic. Due to the absence of definitive treatment, lifelong follow-up and support of patients are important to improve the quality of life. A 7-year-old female child who was diagnosed as having SLS was referred to the rehabilitation clinic. After 20 sessions of a rehabilitation program, she started walking independently with the additional contribution of ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs). The contribution of the short-term rehabilitation approach and especially the administration of AFOs to the independence level of the patient is emphasized herein.

    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 Hakan
    Aim 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. All rights reserved.
