[Prolonged paravertebral analgesia in therapy of chronic pain syndrome in critical lower-limb ischaemia]. Chronic pain syndrome in patients presenting with lower-limb critical ischaemia may have considerable significance in progression of the degree of limb ischaemia, and quality of life of patients appears to be largely determined by adequate analgesia. Currently, there is no 'gold standard ' of therapy for chronic pain syndrome in critical lower-limb ischaemia, which makes it necessary to search for new effective and safe methods of analgesia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of paravertebral analgesia compared with epidural analgesia in therapy of chronic pain syndrome in critical lower-limb ischaemia. Our prospective randomized double-centre study included

Alternatives to Opioids in the Pharmacologic Management of Chronic Pain Syndromes: A Narrative Review of Randomized, Controlled, and Blinded Clinical Trials. Chronic pain exerts a tremendous burden on individuals and societies. If one views chronic pain as a single disease entity, then it is the most common and costly medical condition. At present, medical professionals who treat patients to determine effective and mechanism-based treatments for the chronic pain syndromes discussed in this review. Utilization of rigorous and homogeneous research methodology would likely allow for better consistency and reproducibility, which is of utmost importance in guiding evidence-based care.

Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain Syndromes: A White Paper Detailing Current Challenges in the Field. This manuscript, developed by a group of chronic pain researchers and clinicians from around the world, aims to address the state of knowledge about fibromyalgia (FM) and identify ongoing challenges in the field of FM and other chronic pain syndromes that may be characterized by pain centralization potential to use this new knowledge to positively impact their patients' lives. Furthermore, there are persistent misconceptions about FM and a lack of consensus regarding the diagnosis and treatment of FM. This paper presents a framework for future global efforts to improve the understanding and treatment of FM and other associated chronic pain syndromes, disseminate research findings, identify ways

Potential Mechanisms Supporting the Value of Motor Cortex Stimulation to Treat Chronic Pain Syndromes Throughout the first years of the twenty-first century, neurotechnologies such as motor cortex stimulation (MCS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have attracted scientific attention and been considered as potential tools to centrally concerning the establishment of the clinical effectiveness of primary MCS to treat different chronic pain syndromes. Concurrently, the neuromechanisms related to each method of primary motor cortex (M1) modulation have been unveiled. In this respect, the most consistent scientific evidence originates from MCS studies, which indicate the activation of top-down controls driven by M1 stimulation. This concept

Melatonin in Chronic Pain Syndromes Melatonin is a neurohormone secreted by epiphysis and extrapineal structures. It performs several functions including chronobiotic, antioxidant, oncostatic, immune modulating, normothermal, and anxiolytic functions. Melatonin affects the cardiovascular system and gastrointestinal tract, participates in reproduction and metabolism, and body mass regulation is inevitably disordered in chronic pain syndromes, and activation of melatonin adaptive capabilities. On the other hand, there is evidence of melatonin-independent analgesic effect involving melatonin receptors and several neurotransmitter systems.

Clinical characteristics of dry eye patients with chronic pain syndromes. To investigate clinical characteristics of dry eye disease (DED) patients with a chronic pain syndrome. Cross-sectional study. Four hundred twenty-five patients of a tertiary care DED patient cohort in the Netherlands were included. Chronic pain syndromes irritable bowel syndrome, chronic pelvic pain, and fibromyalgia were assessed by questionnaires. Outcome variables were the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) symptom questionnaire, tear osmolarity, Schirmer test, tear breakup time, conjunctival hyperemia, staining of the cornea and conjunctiva, and amount of mucus. Outcomes were cross-sectionally compared between DED patients with a chronic pain syndrome and those without. A total of 74 out of 425 DED patients (17%) had

Traditional Uses of Medicinal Plants from the Canadian Boreal Forest for the Management of Chronic Pain Syndromes. Chronic pain is more prevalent in indigenous populations who often prefer traditional remedies over allopathic drugs. Our objective was to investigate the traditional uses of medicinal plants from the Canadian boreal forest for the management of chronic pain syndromes. We reviewed the most extensive database on medicinal plants used by aboriginal people of the Canadian boreal forest to investigate the plants used in the management of 3 of the most common chronic pain syndromes: arthritis/rheumatism; back pain; and headache/migraine. We also reviewed the pharmacology and phytochemistry literature to investigate concordance with indigenous knowledge. A total of 114 medicinal plant

Neuropathic ocular pain due to dry eye is associated with multiple comorbid chronic pain syndromes Recent data show that dry eye (DE) susceptibility and other chronic pain syndromes (CPS) such as chronic widespread pain, irritable bowel syndrome, and pelvic pain, might share common heritable factors. Previously, we showed that DE patients described more severe symptoms and tended to report
