Comparison of the efficacy of repeated greater occipital nerve block and pulsed radiofrequency therapy in chronic migraine patients: a randomized controlled study.

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of greater occipital nerve (GON) block and pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment in chronic migraine patients. Seventy patients admitted to the Neurology and Algology outpatient clinic between September 2023 and December 2023 and diagnosed with chronic migraine according to The International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd Edition (ICHD-3) criteria were included in the study. Patients were randomized into 2 groups to receive ultrasound-guided repeated GON block and PRF.

Evaluation of Patients with Painful Ophthalmoplegia for Benign and Secondary Etiologies.

This study aims to establish the final definite etiology among patients with long-term follow-up for painful ophthalmoplegia. The data of 44 cases (16 females, 28 females) were examined. In the first diagnosis, subjects were scanned in terms of benign and secondary etiologies.

Donor Site Morbidity after Removal of FullThickness Peroneus Longus Tendon Graft for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction: 4-Year Follow-up.

Unlabelled: PUSPOSE OF THE STUDY. Many studies have investigated the efficacy of peroneus longus tendon (PLT) in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, and donor site morbidity has not been adequately studied.

Material And Methods: Fifty patients who underwent ACL reconstruction using PLT were included.

Comparison of radiological and clinical results of knee intra-articular injections with two ultrasonography-guided approach techniques: A randomized controlled study.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of intra-articular injections performed with two different ultrasound-guided approaches in knee osteoarthritis.

Patients And Methods: The randomized controlled study was conducted on 80 knees of 40 patients (9 males, 31 females; mean age: 63.6±8.

Evaluation of the effectiveness duration of peripheral blocks applied with high concentration local anesthetic and steroid in trigeminal neuralgia.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness duration of the peripheral blocks applied with high concentration local anesthetic and steroid in trigeminal neuralgia.

Methods: The data of 48 patients (nine patients received medical treatment and 39 patients underwent interventional procedure for peripheral block and Gasser ganglion radiofrequency thermocoagulation [RFT]) were analyzed retrospectively. The medications used by patients, pre-operative and post-operative visual analog scale scores who underwent interventional procedures, and duration for effectiveness of the procedure were evaluated with 36 months follow-up.

Spinal cord stimulator for the treatment of ischemic pain-Burger's disease and Raynaud's disease: A report of two cases and literature review.

Ischemic pain is the main symptom of a group of diseases that result in inadequate blood flow to the extremities and ischemia. In this symptomatology, two major diseases are distinguished: Critical vascular disease and Raynaud's phenomenon. Critical vascular disease background of atherosclerosis caused by diabetes mellitus or hypertension.

Efficacy of Combined Dorsal Root Ganglion Pulsed Radiofrequency and Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection on Radicular Neck Pain.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined transforaminal anterior epidural steroid injection (TAESI) and dorsal root ganglion pulsed radiofrequency (DRG-PRF) therapy on the radicular neck pain.

Material And Methods: The results of 84 patients with cervical radicular pain who underwent combined DRG-PRF and TAESI under fluoroscopy were evaluated retrospectively. Primer outcome is the pain measurements of the patients before and after the procedure at the 1 < sup > st < /sup > , 3 < sup > rd < /sup > , and 6 < sup > th < /sup > months were evaluated with the Verbal Pain Scale (VPS).

Facet Median Branch Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation Treatment at Different Temperatures and Durations in Patients with Lumbar Facet Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Double-Blind Study.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of various temperatures and durations of radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFT) for the treatment of low back pain that is caused by facet joints.

Material And Methods: This is a randomized controlled, double-blind study. Patients diagnosed with facet syndrome were randomly divided into three groups.

Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome after caudal epidural steroid ınjection: A case report.

Background: Caudal epidural injections are easy, effective, and safe methods and are good options for patients with low back pain and radicular lower extremity pain. Although various complications related to the technique of the procedure or the drugs used in the procedure have been described, Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) has not yet been defined for this intervention.

Case: In this case report, we describe a case of PRES, which we supported with MRI findings in our patient who developed convulsions, changes in consciousness, and vision loss after being administered with caudal epidural steroid, and whose imaging findings regressed with the regression of clinical symptoms during the treatment process.

Comparison of Serum Free and Bioavailable 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels in Alzheimer's Disease and Healthy Control Patients.

Objective: Many studies have investigated lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) levels in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) compared with those in control patients. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate serum free and bioavailable 25(OH)D levels in patients with AD and in healthy control patients.

Methods: The AD group consisted of 85 patients aged >60 years who were diagnosed with possible AD according to National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer's Association criteria and 85 healthy control patients.
