Marijuana derived from the plant Cannabis sativa has been used for the treatment of many gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, including anorexia, emesis, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and others. However, its psychotropic side effects have often limited its use. Several cannabinoid receptors, which include
Non-specific abdominal complaints are a very frequent cause of discomfort. Even if only comparatively few are brought to the attention of the physician, they account for a considerable portion of the reasons for seeking medical care, both in acute and chronic conditions. On the other hand, few drugs
Tramadol is effective in the management of mild to moderate postoperative pain, but its administration is associated with nausea and vomiting. Patients treated with tramadol, often receive dexamethasone as antiemetic. The aim of our investigation was to assess if the two drugs interact in a murine
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the influence of local anesthetic on the incidence and severity of visceral pain during cesarean section performed under subarachnoid anesthesia.
METHODS
This was a randomized double blind study of 90 parturients undergoing scheduled or emergency cesareans. The women were
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.
Deep visceral pain is frequent and presents major challenges in pain management, since its pathophysiology is still poorly understood. One way to optimize treatment of visceral pain is to improve knowledge of the mechanisms behind the pain and the mode of action of analgesic substances. This can be
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
In a controlled and double-blind study, the authors tested the hypothesis that preoperative insertion of intradermal needles at acupoints 2.5 cm from the spinal vertebrae (bladder meridian) provide satisfactory postoperative analgesia.
METHODS
The authors enrolled patients scheduled for
OBJECTIVE
Pain-associated disability syndrome (PADS) is a recently defined term that describes patients with chronic pain whose restriction in daily activities appears disproportionately severe for the observable pathology. The aim of this study is to describe the features of a group of pediatric
OBJECTIVE
There exists converging evidence to support a role of pain-related fear in the pathophysiology and treatment of chronic pain conditions. Pain-related fear is shaped by associative learning and memory processes, which remain poorly characterized especially in the context of abdominal pain
Application of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-receptor antagonists may hold promise for the treatment of visceral pain. In this study we evaluated the effect of oral S(+)-ketamine (sKET), a non-competitive NMDA-receptor antagonist, on visceral sensitivity in healthy volunteers. Eight healthy volunteers
According to previous studies oxycodone might have some advantages over morphine in the treatment of visceral pain. This study investigated the opioid consumption (primary outcome), pain relief and side effects (secondary outcomes) of morphine versus oxycodone after percutaneous nephrolithotomy
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
Pain management, nutritional support, and psychosocial support are fundamental services that enhance patients' ability to cope with their cancer and its therapy. The common goal of symptom prevention mandates that each of these supportive services be provided to all patients throughout their cancer
