Abstract

Objectives: This thesis investigates the utilization patterns, effectiveness, and demographic influences of Tramadol in the management of arthritis. Specific objectives include analyzing Tramadol dosage preferences, evaluating treatment outcomes, and examining the impact of demographic factors and comorbidities on treatment efficacy. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted among arthritis patients prescribed Tramadol. Data on dosage regimens, patient-reported effectiveness ratings, demographic variables, and comorbid health conditions were collected through structured interviews and medical records review. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and independent samples t-tests, were employed to analyze the data. Results: The study identified predominant Tramadol dosages of 25mg/day and 50mg/day among participants. Gender-specific differences in dosage were observed, with males receiving higher average doses than females. Effectiveness ratings indicated Tramadol's perceived efficacy, with a significant majority of participants reporting it as very effective or effective. Comorbidity profiles revealed common concurrent conditions such as hypertension, asthma, and diabetes, impacting treatment strategies due to potential drug interactions and individual health complexities. Discussion: The findings underscore the importance of tailored treatment approaches in arthritis management, considering gender-specific variations in dosage and the complex interplay of comorbid health conditions. The study's results contribute to a nuanced understanding of Tramadol's role in pain relief for arthritis patients, highlighting the need for personalized medicine strategies to optimize treatment outcomes. Conclusion: This thesis provides insights into Tramadol utilization among arthritis patients, emphasizing its efficacy, safety profile, and implications for clinical practice. Moving forward, personalized treatment approaches that account for demographic factors and individual health profiles are recommended to enhance therapeutic effectiveness and patient satisfaction.
