Effect Ketamine Infusion Protocol on Pain Management and Opioid Consumption in Opioid Tolerant Cancer Patients
The cancer pain is widespread ranged from between 30% to 70% for patients in early in the diagnosis and intense as the disease progression. Opioids don't treat pain separately from other medication that produces painkiller. Prolonged use of opioids may increase the risk of reducing the effectiveness of opioids which causes increase in pain levels, and then tolerance may increase unresponsiveness to opioids which also lead to elevating pain and opioid consumption.

Naloxegol (Movantik ®) Provides Rapid and Sustained Improvement of Opioid-Induced Constipation Symptoms Irrespective of Opioid Dose
Naloxegol (Movantik), an oral peripherally acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist has demonstrated rapid relief of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) in patients with chronic non-cancer pain in two phase 3 trials (KODIAC 4/5; NCT01309841/NCT01323790). This analysis aims to characterize the OIC symptom burden and evaluate the efficacy of naloxegol in treating symptoms of OIC based on daily opioid dosages. This is the first naloxegol analysis based on a lower opioid dose cutoff of 100 MEU/day. (Source: Pain Management Nursing)

Safe and effective pain management is a challenge among hospitalized patients. Pharmacological interventions are often the first choice but are associated with side effects and can contribute to the opioid epidemic. Nonpharmacological interventions, such as virtual reality (VR), may be an effective adjuvant in pain reduction. This literature review addressed the following question: Does VR compared to standard treatment reduce pain in hospitalized adult patients? (Source: Pain Management Nursing)

Naloxegol (Movantik ®) Provides Rapid Response and Sustained Improvement of Opioid-Induced Constipation Symptoms in Older Adults
Naloxegol (Movantik ®), an oral peripherally acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist (PAMORA) has demonstrated rapid and predictable relief of OIC in patients treated with opioids for chronic non-cancer pain in two phase 3 trials (KODIAC 4/5; NCT01309841/NCT01323790). In subjects ≥65 yrs, naloxegol (25mg, 12.5mg) demon strated significantly better response rates, clinically relevant early symptom relief, and predictable efficacy compared with PBO. Improvements in SBMs, CSBMs, straining, and stool consistency were rapid and sustained across 12 weeks. (Source: Pain Management Nursing)
