Özet:

Purpose: In our study, we aim to determine the effects of decstrozy prolotherapy on pain, daily life activities and functional condition in patients with chronic non-specific back pain. Tools and Methods: Our study included 20 patients with chronic back pain, who did not respond to traditional conservative treatments. In the lombary joints, lombary and sacroliak ligamans in the 0, 3 and 6 weeks, decstrozy prolotherapy injections were applied. Pre-treatment, post-treatment 1, 3, 6 months followings of rest and activity pain severity, daily life activities and patient global evaluation scores with the numeric rating scale of functional state of Istanbul Belly Pain Disability Index (IBADI) were evaluated. Results: Decstroz prolotherapy was significant improvement in the pain severity of rest and activity in the 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment, daily life activities, global patient assessment scale and IBD scores (July 0,001). Although there were no significant differences in the evaluation criteria for the first month after treatment (July 0.05), the activity pain for the first month after treatment, the global patient evaluation scores, daily life activities and the IBD scores were significantly low (July 0.05). The result: in the treatment of chronic non-specific back pain, decstrozy prolotherapy was found to be effective in healing pain, functional condition and daily life activities, and its effect continued for 6 months of follow-up. Decstrosis prolotherapy can be recommended as an effective, safe and cost-effective treatment option for patients with chronic non-specific back pain, resistant to conservative treatment.
