“…Previous research found positive effects after yoga treatment on, e.g., functional measurement scores, balance, flexibility, (pain-related) disability, pain, medication usage, and depression in patients with chronic lower back pain [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. However, the number of randomized clinical studies (RCTs) is small and previous studies reported significant limitations [17,22,24]. In 2007, yoga was already implemented by the American College of Physicians and the American Pain Society [25] in clinical guidelines for clinicians who deal with patients affected by lower back pain.…”

“…Such studies have to include active control groups to determine specific treatment effects and to identify advantages compared to traditional exercise programs and other alternative therapies [17]. It is possible that yoga or eurythmy therapy may be better accepted or more beneficial than physiotherapy-based interventions as they include a mental activating and relaxing focus that specifically enhances stress reduction.…”

Background: We aim to compare the effectiveness of 3 active interventions, i.e., yoga, eurythmy therapy, and physiotherapeutic exercise, on chronic lower back pain. Methods: In this randomized controlled trial over 16 weeks (8 weeks of intervention, 8 weeks of follow-up), data of individuals with chronic lower back pain will be analyzed. Interventions are implemented as group sessions (75 min) once per week. Participants receive a manual for home-based practice and are assessed before and at the end of the 8-week intervention period, and at the end of an 8-week follow-up period. Standardized questionnaires are: the Roland-Morris Disability Score, visual analog scales measuring intensity of pain, the Brief Multidimensional Life Satisfaction Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, the Inner Correspondence with the Practices questionnaire, the Freiburg Mindfulness Questionnaire, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, a self-regulation questionnaire, the Internal Coherence Scale, a pain diary (registering the need of analgesic medication), and a questionnaire on the patients' expectation that the interventions will be effective in reducing pain and how strong this reduction might be (2 single items), etc. Discussion: This large multicenter study will provide evidence on the effectiveness of 3 contrasting movement-orientated treatments that share some similarities but differ in essential details: yoga, eurythmy therapy, and physiotherapeutic exercises. It will provide important data on non-pharmacological options to treat lower back pain in a large group of affected individuals.

“…Toplumda sık karşılaşılan bu sağlık problemi için hastalar farklı tedavi yöntemleri uygulayabilmektedir. Uzak Doğu'da özellikle kullanılan manuel terapi, akupunktur, spinal manuplasyonlar, yoga geleneksel ağrı kontrolü yöntemleri olarak kullanılmış ve geniş serilerle yapılan yayınlarda ağrı kontrolünde etkinlikleri kanıtlanmıştır (8)(9)(10). Bununla birlikte özellikle bölgemizde yöresel-geleneksel inanışlara bağlı uygulamalar da azımsanmayacak kadar çoktur.…”

GirişBel ağrısı özellikle gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerde önemli bir ağrı nedeni olup ciddi fiziksel, psikolojik ve ekonomik kayıplara yol açmaktadır (1). Çok sık görülmesinin yanında halen tedavisinde bir standardizasyon sağlanamamıştır. Bundan ötürü tedavide problemler olabilmektedir (2,3). Bu durum hastaların zaman zaman geleneksel ve yöresel inanışlara başvurmasına sebep olmaktadır. Nadir olmakla birlikte ülkemizde de bu tip olgulara rastlanılmaktadır (4). Zeytinyağı ile masaj yapılması, keçi veya koyun derisi ile beli sarma, çiğ balık bağlama, bardak çekme, bele sülük salma, bel çektirme veya bel çiğnetme gibi yaklaşımlar bunlardan bazılarıdır (5). Bu tür durumlar hastaya tıbbi yaklaşımı da değiştirebilmektedir. Olgumuzda anestezi şekli olarak rejyonal (spinal) anestezi düşünülürken lomber bölgede lokal enfeksiyona sebebiyet veren düğüm atılmış ip olması nedeniyle genel anestezi planlanmıştır. Bu durum hastaya uygulanabilecek anestezi yöntemlerini sınırlandırmakla birlikte genel anestezi uygulanması hastanın hastanede kalış süresini ve verilen ilaç sayısını arttırarak hastane maliyetlerinin artmasına sebep olmaktadır. Olgu SunumuOniki paket/yıl sigara içimi dışında bilinen kronik bir hastalığı olmayan, 57 yaşında erkek hasta, üroloji polikliniğine yan ağrısı, idrar yaparken yanma yakınmalarıyla başvurdu. Yapılan muayene ve tetkiklerinde nefrolithiyazis saptandı ve hastaya üreterorenoskopik taş tedavisi (URS) yapılması planlandı. Hasta preoperatif değerlendirme için anestezi polikliniğine yönlendirildi. İlk muayenesinde herhangi bir patoloji tespit edilmeyen hastanın laboratuar tetkiklerinde Lökosit (WBC): 8.8 K/mm 3 , Hemoglobin (Hb): 16.9 g/dl, Hematokrit (Hct): %47.1, Trombosit (PLT): 157.000 ml 3 (referans değer: 100-400 10 3 /ml), Glukoz: 100 mg/dl (referans değer: 70-110 mg/dl), Protombin Zamanı (PT): 11,7 s (referans değer: 11-16 s) INR: 0.91 (referans değer: 0,80-1,20 ratio) olarak ölçüldü. Akciğer grafisi ve Elektrokardiyogramda anormal bir durum tespit edilmedi. Hasta ASA-II olarak değerlendirildi ve rejyonal (spinal) anestezi yapılması planlandı. ÖZETBel ağrısı tedavisinde halk tarafından ağrıyı geçirdiğine inanılan geleneksel ve yanlış bir tedavi yöntemi olan bele ip dikilmesi olgusunda anestezi yönetimini sunmak istedik. 57 yaşındaki erkek hastaya nefrolithiyazis tanısıyla ureterorenoskopik taş tedavisi (URS) yapılması planlandı. Hastanın lomber bölgesinde yaklaşık 5 cm yarıçaplı etrafı ekimotik, skuamlı, ciltte fluktuasyon veren ve giriş delikleri enfekte olan düğüm atılmış ip tespit edilmesi üzerine spinal anestezi yerine genel anestezi yapıldı.Anahtar Kelimeler: Bel ağrısı, ip bağlama, yanlış inanış, anestezi ABSTRACTWe aim to represent anesthetic management of lumbar suturing as false traditional and regional folk beliefs used for treatment of low back pain. A male patient, 57 years of age, diagnosed with nephrolithiasis, referred for ureterorenoscopic stone treatment (URS). Balanced general anesthesia was chosen instead of spinal anesthesia because of a rope which was about 5 cm radiu...

“…In addition, yoga applications contribute to improving muscle strength and flexibility, blood circulation, oxygen consumption and hormonal functions [13]. Studies have shown that, yoga has been used in an efficient manner in respiratory problems, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, autism, depression, obesity, diabetes, kidney diseases, hemophilia and gastrointestinal disorders [ 14,15]. The effect of yoga on motor function, emotional state and cognitive function has been shown on adults along with children [16,17].…”

Cerebral palsy [CP] which occurs in the developing brain as a result of injury in the fetal or perinatal period, is the most common developmental movement and motor impairment in childhood. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of physiotherapy yoga on sleep quality, depression in children with cerebral palsy.40 patients who were in the walking period [walking independently or with assistive device], with diagnosed CP and age between 5-17 were included the study. Individual's demographic data were recorded and normal motor development was assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure [GMFM], postural analysis with New York Posture Rating Test, sleep quality with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and depression status with Childhood Depression Inventory. Timed Up and Go Test and Stair Ascending and Descending Test were applied. Yoga techniques which were breathing techniques, warm-up exercises [warming up in standing position], Surya Namaskar, Asanas, were performed for a total of 10 sessions, on alternate days and once a day for 45 minutes.32.5% of the individuals were female, 67,5% were male and their mean age was 10,77 ± 3,49. [p=0,012]. Yoga improved psychological condition, pain, sleep quality, posture in the child with CP. Also an improvement was found in exercise tests. As a consequence we believe that yoga should be applied safely and funly in children with SP.
