The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two complementary mandibular repositioning splints (SVED and MORA) designed after a preliminary patients’ posture-stabilometric evaluation in treatment for temporomandibular myofascial pain (TMP) using the Pain-Intensity Numeric Rating Scale (PI-NRS) assessment. Eighty-six consecutive sportive non-agonistic subjects with TMP were randomly divided in two groups. Forty-two wear mandibular repositioning splints designed by a posture-stabilometric evaluation, thus constituting the test group. The other 44 subjects were not subjected to any treatment, thus represented the control group. To record pain intensity, subjects in both groups were asked to fill in a PI-NRS which ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). In the test group, PI-NRS was assessed three times: before starting therapy (t0), after 4 months (t1) and after 8 months (t2) of treatment. Instead, in the control group PI-NRS was recorded during the first visit (t0) and after 8 months (t2). The Friedman test showed a statistically significant decrease in PI-NRS mean scores after 4 (t1) and 8 (t2) months from the start of the gnathological therapy with mandibular repositioning splints, (p < 0.001) in test group. There is enough evidence to assess that occlusal splint therapy for mandibular repositioning (MORA and SVED) designed through a posture-stabilometric evaluation could be considered in the treatment of temporomandibular myofascial pain.

Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) is one of the most difficult symptoms during the postoperative period. Nefopam is a non-narcotic analgesic agent, which also has anticholinergic action. This study was performed to evaluate the effects of nefopam on CRBD in male patients undergoing robotic nephrectomy. A total of 109 male patients were randomly divided into two groups: the control group (n = 55) received 20 mL of normal saline, and the nefopam group (n = 54) received 20 mg of nefopam 1 h before the end of the operation. At postoperative times of 20 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 6 h, the severity of CRBD was measured using an 11-point numeric rating scale, respectively. The severity of CRBD in the nefopam group was significantly lower than that in the control group at 20 min (4.8 ± 1.3 vs. 2.3 ± 1.0, respectively, p = 0.012) and at 1, 2, and 6 h (3.5 ± 1.2, 2.7 ± 0.9, and 2.5 ± 1.0 vs. 4.1 ± 0.8, 1.6 ± 0.8, and 1.3 ± 0.6, respectively, p < 0001). Intraoperative nefopam administration reduced the severity of CRBD in patients undergoing robotic nephrectomy.

ObjectiveSubcutaneous local anaesthetic injection can be painful to patients in the ED. We evaluated the effect of cryotherapy by application of an ice cube to the injection site prior to injection in patients with simple lacerations.MethodsWe conducted a prospective, randomised, controlled trial in consented patients with simple lacerations needing primary repair at a single emergency centre from April to July 2016. We randomly assigned patients undergoing repair for simple lacerations to either the cryotherapy group or the control group (standard care; no cryotherapy or other pretreatment of the injection site). In cryotherapy group subjects, we applied an ice cube (size: 1.5×1.5×1.5 cm) placed inside a sterile glove on the wound at the anticipated subcutaneous lidocaine injection site for 2 min prior to injection. The primary outcome was a subjective numeric rating (0–10 scale) of the perceived pain from the subcutaneous local anaesthetic injections. Secondary outcomes were (a) perceived pain on a numeric scale for cryotherapy itself, that is, pain from contact of the ice cube/glove with the skin and (b) the rate of complications after primary laceration repair.ResultsFifty patients were enrolled, consented and randomised, with 25 in the cryotherapy group and 25 in the control group. The numeric rating scale for subcutaneous anaesthetic injections was median, IQR, 95% CI 2.0 (1 to 3.5), 1.81 to 3.47, respectively, in the cryotherapy group and 5.0 (3 to 7), 3.91 to 6.05 in the control group (Mann-Whitney U=147.50, p=0.001). No wound complications occurred in either group. The numeric rating scale for cryotherapy itself was median, IQR, 95% CI: 2.0 (1 to 3.5), 1.90 to 3.70.ConclusionPre-emptive topical injection site cryotherapy lasting 2 min before subcutaneous local anaesthetic injections can significantly reduce perceived pain from subcutaneous local anaesthetic injections in patients presenting for simple laceration repair.Trial registration numberKCT0001990.

Post-operative pain is acute and subjective therefore the perceived pain intensity will be different. In one of the western Indonesia Hospitals in measuring the pain threshold using 2 tools namely Numeric Rating Scale and Wong Baker Face. Measurement of the pain intensity can be done with NRS and VAS scale. The objective of this research was to identify the difference of pain scale using the NRS and VAS scale in post-operative patients. The research method was descriptive quantitative using comparative approach. The study was conducted on 1 November 2017 – 12 December 2017.The population of the study are the post-operative patients at the In-Patient wards in a private hospital in Western Part of Indonesia. The samples were obtained using purposive sampling with n = 41. Research instrument consists of observation sheet using NRS and VAS scale. The results showed most respondents during the first eight hours using NRS scale had mild pain (80.5%); first 16 hours had light pain (63.4%); and had mild pain in the first 24 hours (85.4%). Using VAS scale, most of the respondents on the first eight hours has mild pain (87.8%); first 16 hours has mild pain (68.3%); and has mild pain in the first 24 hours (87.8%).

A comparative analysis of the treatment of 142 patients operated on chronic hemorrhoid stage IIIIV has been passed by way of assess the results of using new version of hemorrhoidectomy. The age of patients ranged from 27 to 80 (mean age was 50.46.7). 86 (60.6%) patients were diagnosed with stage III chronic hemorrhoid, at 56 (39.4%) patients the stage IV. For this study patients were divided into basic and controlled groups. The basic group consisted of 73 (51.4%) patients that have had hemorrhoidectomy using our modification. There were 69 (48.6%) patients in control group that have been operated by MilliganMorgan method in second modify of State Scientific Center of Proctology using bipolar coagulator LigaSure. The level of pain was assessed in the early postoperative period by numeric rating scale. The patients had been operated by our method mentioned that the pain syndrome was less pronounced (3.2 against 4.9 balls), that required less painkillers in the early postoperative period. In the case of doing semicircle cuts on the border of anocutaneous crinkle and bringing down mucous membrane, the significant excision of the cavernous tissue doesnt lead to contraction of the anal canal by that reduces the number of functional disorders after hemorrhoidectomy (4 figs, 1 table, bibliography: 7 refs).
