Disease relevance of Pain Clinics

 

High impact information on Pain Clinics

  • NK1 receptor antagonists--are they really without effect in the pain clinic [6]?
  • Participants were 86 (27 men, 59 women) consecutive referrals to the Atlantic Pain Clinic, a multidisciplinary treatment centre for the management of persistent pain disorders [7].
  • In the present study, patients presenting to a pain center with RSD were compared to patients with low back (LBP) and headache pain (HAP) on a variety of self-reported demographic, behavioral, pain, and mood measures [8].
  • Two hundred and eighty-three chronic pain patients, consecutive admissions to the Comprehensive Pain Center of the University of Miami School of Medicine, received an extensive psychiatric evaluation based upon the American Psychiatric Association, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) criteria and flowsheets [9].
  • The lidocaine patch: a useful addition to the pain clinic armamentarium [10].
 

Biological context of Pain Clinics

 

Associations of Pain Clinics with chemical compounds

  • The authors report a prospective survey of 88 patients with cancer pain who were treated with oral morphine solution during a period of 140 days at the Pain Relief Unit, Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology, Bangalore [12].
  • Risk assessment of hemorrhagic complications associated with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory medications in ambulatory pain clinic patients undergoing epidural steroid injection [13].
  • Patients who received either epidural morphine, patient-controlled analgesia, or continuous intravenous morphine infusion supervised by an anesthesiology-based acute pain service (group APS, n = 299) were compared with those for whom conventional intramuscular meperidine injections were used (group CON, n = 279) [14].
  • Selective hypophysectomy for metastatic pain. A review of ethyl alcohol ablation of the anterior pituitary in a Regional Pain Relief Unit [15].
  • We examined retrospectively during a 12-month study period the clinical response of all 13 patients at our pain clinic who were prescribed methadone in an attempt to control neuropathic pain resistant to conventional analgesics [16].
 

Gene context of Pain Clinics

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Pain Clinics

  • A review of pain clinic patients was carried out to determine whether patients who obtained limited or no relief from epidural injection of steroids derived benefit from subsequent subarachnoid steroid injections [22].
  • A prospective audit of one hundred and forty-seven (147) Acute Pain Service (APS) patients, who received postoperative patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) using pethidine 4 mg/ml or ropivacaine 0.2% with fentanyl 2 micrograms/ml in general surgical or orthopaedic wards over a twelve-month period, is presented [23].
