[Spinal cord stimulation at the level of the conus medullaris : Treatment option for therapy-resistant postoperative neuralgia of the pudendal nerve.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Injuries of the pudendal nerve, due to a perineal tear during delivery for example, can cause significant and debilitating neurological deficits. Aconuresis and anal incontinence, as well as sensory loss of the outer genitals or even impotency in men are the well known consequences. In addition some patients suffer from a severe neuropathic pain syndrome which is resistant to conservative treatment options. Epidural spinal cord stimulation at the level of the terminal cone of the spinal cord may be a new and successful therapeutic concept in otherwise untreatable cases.

[Chronic pain alters the structure of the brain.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Local morphologic alterations of the brain in areas ascribable to the transmission of pain were recently detected in patients suffering from phantom pain, chronic back pain, irritable bowl syndrome, fibromyalgia and frequent headaches. These alterations were different for each pain syndrome, but overlapped in the cingulate cortex, the orbit frontal cortex, the insula and dorsal pons. As it seems that chronic pain patients have a common "brain signature" in areas known to be involved in pain regulation, the question arises whether these changes are the cause or the consequence of chronic pain. The in vivo demonstration ...

[Characterization of chronic pain patients in German pain centers : Core data from more than 10,000 patients.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: The documented data differ from other population-based data collections. In contrast to common belief there are a considerable number of patients who find access to specialized pain therapy institutions at an early stage of their illness. The hitherto regular use of generic, syndrome-overlapping diagnosis and treatment tools should be reconsidered taking into account the differences found between the main pain diagnosis groups. Lastly, this analysis provides current data on the psychological state of chronic pain patients showing a high degree of psychological distress and underlying the need of psychotherapeu...

[Neuroablative procedures in pain therapy.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Although surgical ablative procedures can be effective in the management of chronic pain of malignant and non-malignant origin, they are often disregarded as treatment options due to the fact that in the past these procedures were associated with high complication rates. The complications include the development of new neurological deficits and in cases of long-term follow-up, the occurrence of the old or new pain syndromes by deafferentation. On the other hand there exist many less invasive, e.g. neuromodulatory procedures or non-invasive measures (systemic oral or transdermal opioids) which are able to considerably r...

According to the opium law and prescription statute of 1930, physicians were duty-bound to maintain a stock ledger to allow a traceable record of the location of narcotic drugs.

The German Society for the Study of Pain (DGSS) commissioned a meta-analytic review of the evidence on the long-term effects of opioids, non-opioid analgesics and cognitive-behavioral procedures for chronic non-cancer pain. A multidisciplinary expert panel was established to review the evidence and formulate recommendations as far as possible on the basis of means, standard deviations and group sizes from randomized controlled trials. Effect size estimates of analgesic effects (SMDs, WMDs) from studies were below clinical significance, whenever the reported data permitted evaluation and nearly equal for all the investi...

[Methylnaltrexone : A new approach for therapy of opioid-induced obstipation.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Chronic pain patients using opioids frequently suffer from constipation which compromises well-being. Such an opioid-induced gastro-intestinal complication can occur regularly in patients in palliative care as well as in analgesic sedated intensive care patients or during prolonged perioperative pain therapy. Discomfort and distress in the affected patients can be so severely pronounced that they would rather suffer from the pain than from the side effect of constipation. Conventional therapy can be insufficient in providing satisfactory relief of constipation, mostly because this opioid-induced bowel hypomotility can ...

We report the case of a 74-year-old woman with postherpetic perineal neuralgia resistant to opioids and antiepileptic drugs who has been successfully treated with oral ketamine for 28 months. Pain scores were reduced by more than 50%, despite dose reduction of other analgetic drugs. Significant side effects have not yet been reported. Despite "off-label" use, ketamine is an important third line option in cases of therapy-resistant neuropathic pain. PMID: 19690896 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Schmerz)

The introduction of case managers might lead to an advancement of care. Sensitisation of physicians, nurses and other caregivers for deficits in transition of patients is needed and should be covered in palliative care education and training.

Physical treatment, spinal manipulative therapy and massages are often recommended to treat migraine as a prophylactic therapy. Clinical experience and theoretical concepts support their usefulness. However, data on these therapies are scarce. On the basis of the available studies, it is impossible to determine whether or not these therapies are effective. There is a lack of well-designed prospective, randomized controlled trials with a sufficiently long follow-up to observe these therapies. Due to the high acceptance of physical treatment on the one hand and preconceptions about drug treatment on the other, these type...

[Is the analgesic effect of acupuncture a placebo effect?]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The German acupuncture trials ART and GERAC have shown that acupuncture and sham or minimal acupuncture were equally effective in the reduction of chronic pain symptoms. These results have prompted an ongoing discussion as to whether acupuncture exerts its effects through a placebo response. Increasing knowledge about the neurobiology of pain and its intrinsic control suggests a combination of acupuncture-specific neurophysiologic effects combined with effects that match those of expectation-induced placebo analgesia.

According to a population-based prevalence study, medically unexplained pain syndromes are highly prevalent in the German general population.

Until now, few studies have been conducted to characterize and differentiate patients with somatoform pain disorders in more detail.

We report on two patients with neuropathic knee pain following lesions of the infrapatellar branch of the femoral nerve due to knee joint replacement. In one patient, the neuropathic pain syndrome was complicated by the development of complex regional pain syndrome (CPRS II, causalgia). Patients exhibit a sharp, burning pain, often induced by exercise, and sensory impairment in the skin area supplied by the infrapatellar nerve. This nerve is a branch of the femoral nerve medial to the fascia lata and is responsible for the skin sensation of the anterior and medial part of the knee.

Masticatory muscle pain can be regarded as a regional manifestation of musculoskeletal disorders similar to those observed in other body regions. Along with temporomandibular joint pain and some painless disturbances related to mandibular mobility they are subsumed under the term temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Masticatory muscle pain is assumed to be associated with a variety of biophysiological risk factors. Valid diagnostic instruments make it possible to differentiate between the various TMD subgroups.

A 34-year-old woman developed walking disability with wheelchair dependency for more than 2 years due to chronic regional pain syndrome type II (CRPS II) in the feet. After excluding neurological and vascular disease, lumbar sympathectomy was performed on both sides. Surgical treatment was uneventful, and the patient's symptoms dramatically improved after 2 months. She is now able to walk some 500 m. This case illustrates the fact that surgical lumbar sympathectomy is an effective alternative or adjunct treatment even in fixed CRPS II.
