Patient Experience
A 72-year-old retired carpet weaver from Kayseri's historic market district presented with debilitating bilateral hand osteoarthritis pain that threatened her ability to continue her traditional craft. Dr. Asan implemented a novel combination of ultrasound-guided intra-articular hyaluronic acid injections with sensory re-education therapy, allowing her to complete a commissioned prayer rug for her granddaughter's wedding.
A 19-year-old national-level e-sports competitor developed complex regional pain syndrome in his dominant wrist following repetitive strain injury. Dr. Asan created a graded virtual reality exposure protocol synchronized with sympathetic nerve blocks, enabling the patient to return to competition while managing pain triggers during high-stakes tournaments.
A 34-year-old Syrian refugee and former construction worker suffered from phantom limb pain following a traumatic amputation during conflict. Dr. Asan combined mirror therapy with targeted dorsal root ganglion stimulation, helping the patient reduce opioid dependence by 80% while establishing a small tailoring workshop with vocational rehabilitation support.
A 58-year-old beekeeper from Mount Erciyes presented with treatment-resistant neuropathic pain from multiple bee stings that had triggered an autoimmune response. Dr. Asan developed a personalized apitherapy desensitization protocol alongside pulsed radiofrequency ablation, allowing the patient to safely resume his family's generations-old honey production.
