Visceral pain is caused by either distension or contraction of the visceral muscular wall or obstruction of hollow gastrointestinal organs. Unlike the somatic pain due to peritonitis, visceral pain is diffuse, epigastric, periumbilical and is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and restlessness.
OBJECTIVE
Despite adequate levels of sensory blockade, patients sometimes complain of abdominal pain during cesarean section performed under spinal anesthesia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of epidural fentanyl and intravenous flurbiprofen on visceral pain during cesarean section
Nausea and vomiting during regional anesthesia for cesarean section are very common and unpleasant events. They cause significant distress to the patient and also interfere with the surgical procedure. They have multiple etiologies, which include hypotension, vagal hyperactivity, visceral pain, i.v.
BACKGROUND

METHODS
The authors enrolled patients scheduled for
Neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptors are present in both the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. Substance P (SP) is the major ligand and is involved in multiple processes including pain transmission, vasodilation, modulation of the inflammatory response, as well as the sensory neuronal
Objective Postoperative recovery process following laparoscopic cholecystectomy depends on many factors such as pain, fatigue and exhaustion. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the administration of dexamethasone, a glucocorticoid, has positive effects of postoperative patient
5-HT(3)-receptor antagonists are highly selective competitive inhibitors of the 5-HT(3)-receptor with negligible affinity for other receptors. They are potent, rapidly absorbed and easily penetrate the blood-brain barrier; metabolized by the cytochrome P450-system with half-life varying from 3-10
UNASSIGNED
Functional dyspepsia (FD) and gastroparesis (GP) are the two most prevalent gastric neuromuscular disorders. These disorders are frequently confused, have more similarities than differences, and can be thought of as two ends of a continuous spectrum of gastric neuromuscular disorders
Tropisetron is used as an anti-emetic agent against chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Tropisetron shows strong 5-HT3 antagonist and weak 5-HT4 antagonist activities in vitro. In the various animal models of vomiting including chemotherapy- or radiotherapy-induced emesis in the dog and
Conditioned taste aversion (CTA) is a behavioural response essential to the survival of an individual. The combination of taste and odour of most foods provides a strong conditioned stimulus (CS) for an animal to respond in an appropriate way to any harmful unconditioned stimuli (US) that follow.
