    (Springer Heidelberg, 2014) Ustun, Nilgun; Arslan, Fatma; Mansuroglu, Ayhan; Inanoglu, Deniz; Yagiz, Abdullah Erman; Guler, Hayal; Turhanoglu, Ayse Dicle
    The aim of this study is to investigate whether eutectic mixture of local anesthetics (EMLA) cream phonophoresis superior to conventional US over the trigger points (TPs) in terms of improvements of pain, range of motion and disability in myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). Fifty patients (42 female, 8 male) diagnosed with MPS were included in the study. Patients were randomly assigned into two treatment groups including phonophoresis (PH) group (n = 25) and ultrasound (US) group (n = 25). PH group received EMLA cream phonophoresis (2.5 % lidocaine, 2.5 % prilocaine); US group received conventional ultrasound therapy over the all active TPs on trapezius muscle for 10 min a day for 15 sessions. Outcome measures were performed before the treatment course and at the end of a 15-session course of treatment. Student T, Mann-Whitney U, chi-square and Wilcoxon tests were used for statistical analysis. At the end of the therapy, there was statistically significant decrease in both PH group and US group in terms of number of trigger point (NTP) (p = 0.001, p = 0.029), pain intensity on movement (p = 0.001 vs. 0.002) and right/left cervical lateral ROMs (p = 0.001/p = 0.001, p = 0.009/p = 0.020) relative to baseline. The NTP decrease in PH group was significantly higher than that in US group (1.84 +/- A 1.46 vs. 0.72 +/- A 1.45; p = 0.01). Pain intensity at rest (p = 0.001) and NPDI scores (p = 0.001) were statistically improvement in only PH group. EMLA cream phonophoresis is more effective than conventional ultrasound therapy in terms of pain and associated neck disability, and it seems the complementary treatment option for MPS.

    The relationship between reaction time and decision-making in elite kickboxing athletes
    (2011) Çetin, M. Çagri; Taşgım, Özden; Arslan, Fatma
    The purpose of this study was to examine the psychological and psychomotor variables such as reaction time, decision-making situation and relations between the variables of kick boxing athletes in different branches. A total of 32 male, 22 female elite kick boxing athletes participated in this study voluntarily. They were divided into two groups, according to branch, (full contact male (n=18), female (n=12) and light contact male (n=14), female (n=10)). Reaction time was measured by using New-tested 2000 device and to determine the styles of decision-making was asked to fill Melbourne Decision Making Scale. There was a meaningful correlation between reaction time and careful from styles of decision-making in full contact male and reaction time and panic from styles of decision-making in full contact female. According to the results, Full contact male-female athletes were significantly faster and more careful than light contact male-female athletes. As a result, kick boxing may be effective about decision time in the development of reaction times and it can improve the appropriate response to stimulus and careful decision-making capabilities of athletes. © IDOSI Publications, 2011.
