ABSTRACT

Objective: Mesotherapy pain management has become a more commonly used method in the clinic. It covers the extent of the performance of mesotherapy applications on pain in patients with fibromyalgia and migraine, including these symptoms, and the patient characteristics and duration. Method: A total of 152 randomly selected female cases with rejuvenation and pain problems were included in the study. Mesotherapy was applied to have four different diagnostic groups, namely fibromyalgia, migraine, arthralgia and rejuvenation. VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) scale of pain intensity and intensity of the patients was used. Results: The ages of the cases ranged from 37 to 68, and the mean age was 55.19±7.31. Changes in the VAS scores of the study participants were determined. A widely directional relationship was not found between the changes in VAS scores and their age, weight, height, BMI measurements, and income. The changes in the VAS scores of the participants were determined according to the diagnosis, session and side effects categories. Values showing the variation according to the sessions in the changes in VAS scores. The VAS changes of the cases in the 3rd session are higher than expected in the 2nd session (p=0.007). Between the changes in VAS scores and the mesotherapy sessions, the positive direction (the higher the number of sessions, the greater the VAS difference) was the view of the targeted relationship as the observer (r=0.481; p
