    Effect of estrogen and progesterone on nerve conduction studies during ovarian cycle
    (2021) Sozay, Seyhan; Başkent Üniversitesi; 35141490
    Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effects of estrogen and progesterone on nerve conduction studies (NCSs) in three different hormonal phases of the ovarian cycle. Patients and methods: Between April 2008 and July 2008, a total of 40 healthy volunteer women (mean age: 24.1 +/- 5.1 years; range 21 to 43 years) with regular menstrual cycles were included in this prospective study. The participants were regularly menstruating for at least one year, without any hormonal disease and without taking any medication that could lead to hormonal dysregulation. Motor and sensory conduction velocities, amplitudes, and distal latencies were analyzed at the dominant extremities within the early follicular phase (EFP), late follicular phase (LFP), and the midluteal phase (MLP). Results: Except for the median nerve motor conduction velocity (MCV), there were no statistically significant differences between the peripheral NCS results in the three ovarian cycle phases (p=0.033). After adjusting for multiple comparisons, a significant difference was found between the EFP and LFP (p=0.004). Conclusion: Our study results showed that only median nerve MCV was affected in the menstrual cycle. However, this would be an incidental finding, or an increased sensibility of the median nerve motor fibers to ovarian steroids by an unknown mechanism. Further studies are warranted.

    Exercise, Manipulative Therapy, and Physical Modalities in the Treatment of Notalgia Paresthetica: A Case Report
    (2021) Ozen, Selin; Cosar, Sacide NurSaracgil; Sozay, Seyhan; 35496723
    Objective: The purpose of this case report is to describe the care of a patient with notalgia paresthetica (NP).& nbsp;Clinical Features: A 61-year-old man presented with a 7-year history of upper back pain, concentrated in the right periscapular region. Physical examination revealed a hyperpigmented area in the right dorsal paravertebral and infrascapular region with local paraesthesia. After investigations, a diagnosis of NP was made.& nbsp;Intervention and Outcome: An exercise program including back and shoulder stretching and shoulder strengthening exercises, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation resulting in a reduction of symptoms.& nbsp;Conclusion: In the case described here, the patient's symptoms regressed when treated conservatively with exercise and physical therapy modalities.& nbsp;
