Comparative Effects of Conventional Physical Therapy, Kinesio Taping and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in Acute Upper Trapezius Myofascial Pain Syndrome
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2023) Şah, V.
Conservative Physical Therapy (CPT), Kinesio Taping (KT), and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) have been used to treat Upper Trapezius Myofascial Pain Syndrome (UTMPS). In a health center where all three treatments can be performed, it is important to choose the most effective one in UTMPS treatment. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of CPT, KT, and ESWT in the patients with UTMPS. 84 patients with acute UTMPS were randomised into three treatment groups: CPT, KT, and ESWT. All patients were evaluated at baseline (week 0), just after treatment (week 2) and one month after treatment (week 6). Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Neck Disability Index (NDI), Restricted Angel of Cervical Extansion (RACE), Restricted Angel of Cervical Lateral Flexion (RACLF) scores were used as outcome measures. All outcome measures just after treatment (week 2) and one month after treatment (week 6) were found to b e significantly lower within the three treatment groups compared with the baseline (week 0) (for all, p<0.05). All outcome measures one month after the treatment (week 6) were found to be significantly lower in the ESWT group than in the other two treatment groups (for all, p<0.05). CPT, KT, ESWT were found to be effective in the treatment of UTMPS. However, since ESWT has the most positive effect on outcome measures in the evaluation 1 month after the treatment (week 6), it can be preferred over the other two methods (CPT and KT) in the treatment of UTMPS.1 month after the treatment (week 6), it can be preferred over the other two methods (CPT and KT) in the treatment of UTMPS. © 2023, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.

(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2021) Özkan, S.; Adanaş, C.; Kaplan, Ş.; Şah, V.
Intra-articular injection requires a visual learning and the knee is the most commonly used joint for t his application. YouTube videos have become a source of visual learning. However, there is a obscurity whether YouTube videos on medical education provide safe and useful information. Therefore, this study aim to evaluate the reliability of YouTube videos on knee joint injection according to the current approach. The term ʺknee joint injection techniqueʺ was used to search the related YouTube videos. The videos were grouped in terms of the uploader, uploading years, and the number of views. The procedure was evaluated and scored for positioning of the patient, palpation of the landmarks, washing hands and wearing gloves, needle approach and entry, drug injection, removing the needle and placing the sponge and finally bandaging. Of the 61 videos, only 11 (18%) had enough quality. The score of videos uploaded by an institution was significantly higher than others (p=0.006). The score of videos viewed over (n=31) and lower (n=30) than 10000 times was 4.5 (IQR 2.0) and 3.5 (IQR 2.0), respectively (p=0.018). There was no statistical significance between the groups according to uploading years (p=0.694). YouTube videos are not enough qualified enaugh reliable visual learning of knee joint injection. The institutional YouTube videos are more educational sources than others. YouTube videos with higher views count also have higher reliability. © 2021, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.
