Özet:

 Aim: Hallux valgus is a common foot deformity that causes significant pain and functional impairment. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of prolotherapy and dry needling in treating mild to moderate hallux valgus pain. Material and Methods: Patients with hallux valgus deformity experiencing refractory pain after orthotic and analgesic treatment, and treated with prolotherapy 52 patients, 68 feet or dry needling 49 patients, 57 feet methods were included in the study. Each group received three treatment sessions at 3-week intervals. Clinical assessments were performed using the visual analog scale VAS and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society AOFAS scores at baseline, in the third month, and twelfth month. Results: Both groups showed significant improvement in VAS and AOFAS scores after treatment p0.001. In the prolotherapy group, the VAS score decreased from 6 range, 4-8 in the pre-treatment period to 2 range, 1-5 both in the third and twelfth months p0.001. In the dry needling group, the VAS score decreased from 6 range, 4-7 in the pre-treatment period to 4 range, 2-7 both in the third and twelfth months p0.001. While the AOFAS scores improved to 75 range, 63-85 in the third month and 76 range, 60-80 in the twelfth month in the prolotherapy group p0.001, improved to 56 range, 44-75 in the third month and 50 range, 36-75 in the twelfth month in the dry needling group p0.001. Conclusion: Both prolotherapy and dry needling effectively treat hallux valgus pain and improve foot function, with prolotherapy showing superior effectiveness.

 Amaç: Halluks valgus, ayağın yaygın bir deformitesi olup önemli ağrı ve fonksiyonel bozukluğa neden olabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı hafif ve orta dereceli halluks valgus ağrısının tedavisinde proloterapi ve kuru iğnelemenin etkinliğini karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ortez ve analjezik tedavi sonrası dirençli ağrı yaşayan halluks valgus deformitesi olan ve proloterapi 52 hasta, 68 ayak veya kuru iğneleme 49 hasta, 57 ayak ile tedavi edilen hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Her grup 3 haftalık aralıklarla üç tedavi seansı aldı. Görsel analog skala visual analog scale, VAS ve Amerikan Ortopedik Ayak ve Ayak Bileği Derneği American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, AOFAS skorları kullanılarak klinik değerlendirmeler başlangıçta, üçüncü ayda ve on ikinci ayda yapıldı. Bulgular: Her iki grup da tedavi sonrası VAS ve AOFAS skorlarında anlamlı iyileşme gösterdi p0,001. Proloterapi grubunda, VAS skoru tedavi öncesi 6dan aralık, 4-8 hem üç ve hem de on ikinci aylarda 2ye aralık, 1-5 düştü p0,001. Kuru iğneleme grubunda, VAS skoru tedavi öncesi 6dan aralık, 4-7 hem üç ve hem de on ikinci aylarda 4e aralık, 2-7 düştü p0,001. AOFAS skorları, proloterapi grubunda, üçüncü ayda 75e aralık, 63-85 ve on ikinci ayda 76ya aralık, 60-80 yükselirken p0,001, kuru iğneleme grubunda üçüncü ayda 56ya aralık, 44-75 ve on ikinci ayda 50ye aralık, 36-75 yükseldi p0,001. Sonuç: Hem proloterapi hem de kuru iğneleme halluks valgus ağrısını etkili bir şekilde tedavi eder ve ayak fonksiyonunu iyileştirir, ancak proloterapi daha üstün sonuçlar gösterir.
