Differential Rates of Inadvertent Intravascular Injection during Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Injections Using Blunt‐Tip, Pencil‐Point, and Catheter‐Extension Needles
ConclusionsBlunt‐tip and pencil‐point needles have comparable risk of inadvertent vascular injection during lumbosacral transforaminal injections. Catheter‐extension needles demonstrated a reduce incidence of vascular uptake, but also result in a significantly higher rate of functional pitfalls that limits their usefulness in routine practice.

Effect of Deep Intramuscular Stimulation and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Neurophysiological Biomarkers in Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome
ConclusionOur findings add additional evidence about rTMS and DIMST in relieving pain in MPS patients without synergistic effect. No peripheral biomarkers reflected the analgesic effect of both techniques; including those related to cellular damage. Additionally, one neurophysiological parameter (increased MEP amplitude) needs to be investigated. (Source: Pain Medicine)

Preventive Analgesia with Pregabalin in Neuropathic Pain from “Failed Back Surgery Syndrome”: Assessment of Sleep Quality and Disability
ConclusionsPGB has analgesic/antihyperalgesic effects on postoperative neuropathic pain after surgery for lumbar disc hernia. Our findings show that this benefit increases with time. (Source: Pain Medicine)

Cohort Study of the Impact of High‐dose Opioid Analgesics on Overdose Mortality
ConclusionsDose‐dependent opioid overdose risk among patients increased gradually and did not show evidence of a distinct risk threshold. There is urgent need for guidance about combined classes of medicines to facilitate a better balance between pain relief and overdose risk. (Source: Pain Medicine)

Location of Radicular Spinal Arteries in the Lumbar Spine from Analysis of CT Angiograms of the Abdomen and Pelvis
ConclusionsIn this group of patients, an artery was found in either the safe triangle or in Kambin's triangle frequently, suggesting the location of these arteries can be quite variable. Physicians performing these procedures should use universal precautions to avoid inadvertent injection into the lumbar spinal arteries and minimize potential complications regardless of the approach.
