Pain relief during oocyte retrieval — exploring the role of different frequencies of electro-acupuncture

The most commonly encountered complication after haemorrhoidectomy is post-operative pain. Relief of this pain may aid earlier recovery. A literature search was performed examining the different surgical and medical agents for the relief of post haemorrhoidectomy pain using Pubmed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and Cochrane library databases. Pain can be relieved by surgical or medical agents. Surgery incorporates a risk of incontinence. A number of studies examine the role of medical agents.A variety of surgical techniques and medical agents are available to the clinician in the treatment of post haemorrhoidectomy pain. Tailored management to individual patients should ensure appropriate symptomatic control and prompt recovery.

Introduction In Spain the use of epidurals for pain relief during childbirth is widespread. Currently, we can observe a progressive change in attitude towards a less interventionist care and the use of non-pharmacological methods to reduce pain, unless the woman has left instructions otherwise. Aims To explore the decision-making process concerning pain relief methods in childbirth in order to detect the elements of vulnerability that are present in said process and examine the demands directed towards healthcare professionals. Methodology This study has applied a qualitative methodology with a phenomenological theoretical-methodological approach. The technique used to obtain information was the semistructured individual interview. The study was carried out in Catalonia. The participants were 17 adult women with low-risk pregnancies. Results Three categories have been identified after the analysis: (a) Completion of the birth plan: an approach to the decision; (b) The rationale of the decision: resources and barriers; and (c) The approach to pain in childbirth: elements of vulnerability. Conclusions Women do not always make firm decisions when completing the birth plan; The decisions expressed may be statements of intent. At the time of delivery, the perceived pain can be experienced as a threat that makes them feel vulnerable. The role of midwives and other healthcare professionals is to help work out this sense of vulnerability.

Background. Despite the wide arsenal of painkillers, pain relief is an urgent interdisciplinary problem that requires a search for new solutions. Purpose of the study. To establish the role of opioid receptors in the mechanism of the analgesic action of the piperidine derivatives AGV-22 and AGV-23. Material and methods. The studies were carried out on 96 white mice of both sexes weighing 30-40 g. The analgesic effect of the compounds was tested on models of thermal and chemical irritation with preliminary administration of the opioid receptor antagonist naloxone. Results. The pain reactions of mice with models of thermal and chemical stimulation in the AGV-22 / AGV-23 + naloxone and AGV-22 / AGV-23 groups were comparable. Conclusions. The mechanism of the analgesic action of the piperidine derivatives AGV-22 and AGV-23 is not associated with the activation of opioid receptors.

Cox 2

Background: Inflammation of the pulp can lead to elicit pain. Pain in inflammation is induced by the cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme (COX-2) which induces prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) resulting in pain. Pain in the pulp can be relieved by eugenol. In its application, eugenol is toxic to pulp fibroblasts. Due to the side effect, it is worth considering other biocompatible materials with minimal side effects, such as propolis. Flavonoids and phenolic acids that contained in propolis can inhibit COX-2. Therefore, an analysis outlined in the literature review is needed to examine the results of research related to the role of propolis as pulp pain relief by inhibiting COX-2 expression. Purpose: To analyze the role of propolis in pulp pain by inhibiting COX-2 expression. Reviews: Propolis extract that extracted by ethanol, water, and hydroalcohol has pain relief properties in the pulp by inhibiting COX-2 by directly binding to the COX-2 receptors and by reducing the production of proinflammatory cytokines which are COX-2 inducers, proven through in vivo, in vitro, and in silico studies in various target cell organs. Conclusion: Propolis extract has high prospect as inflammatory pain inhibitor in the pulp by inhibit COX-2 expression.

The Face

AbstractTrigeminal neuralgia (TN) is the most frequent type of neuropathic facial pain affecting one or more branches of trigeminal nerve. Here, a 51-year-old woman diagnosed with idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (ITN) presented with complaints of pain over right side of the face with redness of the eyes and excessive lachrymation since 5 years with weekly acute episodes of shooting pain. Chelidonium was chiefly prescribed followed by few doses of Spigelia as per indications which provided adequate pain relief. The complaints flared up following stressful circumstances for which Pulsatilla was prescribed after detailed case taking. The frequency, duration and intensity of pain reduced after homoeopathic treatment. The need for conventional medicine was also reduced. This suggests positive role of individualised homoeopathy in the treatment of ITN. Further studies should be undertaken to evaluate the role of homoeopathy in ITN.
