Antiepileptics and antidepressants are frequently prescribed for chronic pain, but their efficacy and potential adverse effects raise concerns, including dependency issues. Increased prescriptions, sometimes fraudulent, prompted reclassification of ...
BACKGROUND: Paravertebral block has similar effect as epidural anesthesia, and has good somatic and visceral analgesic effect. Paravertebral block is widely used in thoracic surgery, but rarely used in abdominal surgery.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review explores the current applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of pain medicine with a focus on machine learning.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the perioperative analgesic effect of the unilateral lumbar erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in dogs undergoing hemilaminectomy.
Chronic pain remains an intractable condition in millions of patients worldwide. Spontaneous ongoing pain is a major clinical problem of chronic pain and is extremely challenging to diagnose and treat compared to stimulus-evoked pain. Although extens...
Computations of placebo effects are essential in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for separating the specific effects of treatments from unspecific effects associated with the therapeutic intervention. Thus, the identification of placebo responder...
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) has replaced open prostatectomy. However, RALP does not reduce postoperative pain compared to the open approach. We explored whether bundled intraoperative intrav...
While hundreds of genes have been associated with pain, much of the molecular mechanisms of pain remain unknown. As a result, current analgesics are limited to few clinically validated targets. Here, we trained a machine learning (ML) ensemble model ...
Relatively little is known about the molecular pathways influenced by cannabis use in humans. We used a multi-omics approach to examine protein, metabolomic, and lipid markers in plasma differentiating between cannabis users and nonusers to understa...
