Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the ganglion sphenopalatine block (GSP block) on postdural puncture headache.
This pilot study hopes to show that after 3 months of Kiko training, Kiko naive patients with migraine will have a decrease in the frequency and severity of their migraines.
At present, pediatric postoperative analgesia has not been fully understood and controlled, particularly craniotomy surgery. On the one hand, professional evaluation of postoperative pain for young children is difficult; on the other hand, the particularity of craniotomy adds (such as consciousness obstacle, sleepiness, et al) disturbance to the pain assessment in children. Although opioids administration is regarded as the first-line analgesic for post-craniotomy pain management, it may be associated with delayed awakening, respiratory depression, hypercarbia and it may interfere with the neurologic examination. For the avoidance of side-effects of systemic opioids, local anesthetics administered around the incision have been performed clinically. However, some studies revealed that the analgesic effect of local anesthetics was unsatisfactory due to its short pain relief duration, steroid as adjuvant can enhance postoperative analgesia and prolong postoperative analgesia time. As is reported that postoperative pain of craniotomy is mainly caused by skin incision and reflection of muscles, preventing the liberation of inflammatory mediators around the incision seems to be more effective than simply blocking nerve conduction. Thus, investigators suppose that pre-emptive scalp infiltration with steroid (Methylprednisolone) plus local anesthetic (ropivacaine) could relieve postoperative pain after craniotomy in children.
The aim is to establish how headache and migraine can affect muscle hardness and tenderness in migraine patients
The aim of the study is to examine symptomatology, quantitative sensory test (QST) parameters, muscle tenderness and muscle hardness in migraine patients interictally and compare with healthy controls
A majority of patients would suffer from moderate-to-severe postoperative pain after undergoing craniotomy. As a result, adequate pain control is essential for patients' prognosis and their postoperative life quality. Although opioids administration is regarded as the first-line analgesic for post-craniotomy pain management, it may be associated with delayed awakening, respiratory depression, hypercarbia and it may interfere with the neurologic examination. For the avoidance of side-effects of systemic opioids, local anesthetics administered around the incision have been performed clinically. However, some studies revealed that the analgesic effect of local anesthetics was not unsatisfactory due to its short pain relief duration. As is reported that postoperative pain of craniotomy is mainly caused by skin incision and reflection of muscles, preventing the liberation of inflammatory mediators around the incision seems to be more effective than simply blocking nerve conduction. Thus, Investigators suppose that pre-emptive scalp infiltration with steroid (dexamethasone) plus local anesthetic (ropivacaine) could relieve postoperative pain after craniotomy in adults.
The purpose of this prospective cohort survey study is to further explore the incidence of adverse events with dry needling by physical therapists - as well as any differences or similarities between patient-reported vs therapist-reported incidence of AEs.
Healthy participants vill randomly be allocated in a 2:1 order to receive 1 mg levcromakalim or placebo (isotonic saline) for 20 min. The investigator here examine the effect of levcromakalim infusion on the MMA and the MCA circumference over several hours using a high resolution MRA technique in a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled design in healthy volunteers. The investigator hypothesized that levcromakalim induces dilatation of cranial arteries.
