Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS); is a complex syndrome characterized by many symptoms such as chronic widespread pain, fatigue and sleep disorders, cognitive dysfunctions and psychiatric disorders. It has been stated that there is an urgent need for studies examining the clinicimetric and psychometric properties of the pain phenotype criteria in terms of patients receiving the most appropriate treatment, clinicians deciding on the appropriate treatment, and contributing to the research of scientists. Despite all this, no study has yet been found that describes the pain phenotypes in fibromyalgia syndrome and how different types of pain affect patients. The primary aim of this study is to determine the chronic pain phenotypes in individuals with FMS. The secondary aim of this study to determine the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the algorithm used in the determination of pain phenotypes and to assessment the clinical effects of different pain phenotypes on individuals with FMS in terms of pain severity, disease severity, quality of life and catastrophe.
Pain has been defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage". Labour pain is the pain experienced during labour and childbirth and it's characterised by nociceptive pain accompanied by sympathetic activation. Since more than fifty years, the development of hospital obstetric assistance for labour, allowed the implementation of the pain relief culture in the demanding parturients population. The ideal labour analgesic technique should provide consistent pain relief at any stage of labour, have a long duration of action, while being safe both for the mother and the foetus. It should also anticipate undesirable side effects, such as motor block. The current gold standard for obstetric analgesia is the lumbar epidural technique using the administration of local anesthetics combined with opioids. However, the best administration mode is currently under debate, the main interest being the local anesthetic sparing responsible for various maternal side effects and the quality of maternal analgesia. Despite the intense research in the field, the evaluation of the labour pain remains difficult as performed by the midwife and the anesthesiologist based on the patient's behaviour and her subjective self-assessment. The PMD100™ (Medasense Biometrics Ltd., Ramat Yishai, Israel) is a non-invasive multiparametric nociception monitoring that has proved its interest in the intraoperative evaluation of patient's physiological response to pain under general anesthesia, using the NOL index variation. Nonetheless, it has been barely investigated in patients receiving locoregional anesthesia and never in the context of obstetrical pain. The investigators support the idea that the NOL index monitoring could allow us to assess the degree of nociceptive stimulation related to obstetric labour and its variation under epidural analgesia, as well as to compare the efficacy of sensitive block using different epidural administration modes. The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the NOL Index variation during labour pain management with epidural analgesia. The investigators will focus on the evaluation of analgesia in relation with the self-reported pain intensity, and secondly, the characteristics of the sensory block, the hemodynamic variables and side effects.
The goal of this preliminary prospective and observational study is to use hd-EEG (high density electroencephalogram) to investigate how functional and network markers of consciousness are associated to nociception during general anesthesia. More specifically, the aim of this study is to characterize whole-brain functional connectivity and network changes induced by noxious stimulation, and adapt these findings to a clinically-applicable EEG (electroencephalogram) montage.
A randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study assessing the impact of health and wellness products on pain and other health outcomes
In this prospective, randomized controlled study, we hypothesized that nociception level index monitoring reduced opioid administration during surgery. The secondary goals are to compare the total dose hypnotic drugs, as well as hemodynamic parameters, and to investigate the relationship between changes in the NOL index and HR change following severe noxious stimuli during effect site TCI of propofol and remifentanil in patients undergoing intracranial tumor surgery who are monitored using either standard monitors or the NOL monitor additionally.
The aim of this double blind randomized study will be to investigate the effect of an opioid-free anesthesia regimen with a mixture of lidocaine and ketamine in the same syringe versus remifentanyl analgesia in cervical spine surgery.
The translation and cultural adaptation process of the English version of PDQ will be performed based on international guidelines. Subsequently, patients with neuropathic and nociceptive pain based on clinician's diagnoses will be recruited to complete three-type numeric rating scale (NRS) of pain followed by PDQ-M and SF-36 questionnaire. Patients' socio-demographic data and clinical characteristics will be reported using frequency for categorical variables and mean with standard deviation for continuous variables. Normality will be assessed using Shapiro Wilk test and histograms for continuous variables. Data will be compared between groups using chi-square test (for categorical variables) and t-test or Mann-Whitney's U test (for continuous variables). Suitability of PDQ-M data for factor analysis will be verified using the Bartlett's test of sphericity and the Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy. Parallel analysis will performed to obtain the suitable factors. Construct validity will be investigated by exploratory factorial analysis (EFA) with varimax rotation. A factor loading of >0.40 will be used to determine the items for each factor. The internal consistency of the questionnaire will be assessed using Cronbach's alpha test. A p value of <0.05 is taken as statistically significant.
The aim of this double-blind randomized study will be to evaluate the effect an intravenous infusion of magnesium has on recovery outcomes after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy
The aim of this double blind randomized study will be to investigate the effect of an opioid-free anesthesia regimen with a mixture of dexmedetomidine-lidocaine-ketamine in the same syringe versus remifentanil analgesia in lumbar spine surgery
