Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, frequently result in mood disorders among affected individuals. It is established that neuropathic pain arising from traumatic neuropathies is also linked to mood disorders. This study investigates the influence of neuropathic pain on the development of mood disorders in earthquake survivors with peripheral nerve injuries, following the earthquake centered in Kahramanmaraş on February 6, 2023.

Discontinuation of medication still remains a key element in the treatment of medication overuse headache (MOH), but there is no consensus on the withdrawal procedure. We aimed to share the promising results of anesthetic blockade of greater occipital nerve (GON), which can be an alternative to existing treatments during the early withdrawal period of MOH treatment.

Delirium is a common complication developing in el­derly patients. Therefore, it is important to diagnose delirium earlier. Family caregivers play an active role in early diagnosis of de­lirium and build a bridge between health professionals and patients. The purpose of this research was to achieve the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Informant Assessment of Geriatric Delirium Scale (I­AGeD).

Perineural 5% dextrose versus corticosteroid injection in non-surgical carpal tunnel syndrom treatment

OZGE OCEK, DERYA GUNER

We aimed to investigate the difference of clinical and electrophysiological improvement between perineural corticosteroid injection therapy and perineural 5% dextrose injection therapy in carpal tunnel syndrome. Total of 92 wrists that were diagnosed as mild-to-moderate idiopathic CTS and completed their follow-up were included in our study. The severity of pain, symptom severity and functional status were assessed by visual analog scale.
