Provider Perspectives on Analgesic Use in Intrauterine Device Insertion Procedures: A Mixed Methods Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Our study has identified a significant amount of variation in practices regarding analgesic use for IUD insertion procedures and highlighted some underlying causes of these inconsistencies. Future studies should further investigate trends in analgesic administration in IUD insertion procedures with a larger sample size and delve into factors such as provider education and barriers to access.PMID:38646269 | PMC:PMC11031185 | DOI:10.7759/cureus.56580 (Source: Pain Physician)

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: Diagnosis and Management
Am Fam Physician. 2024 Apr;109(4):350-359.ABSTRACTLumbar spinal stenosis is a clinical syndrome that affects more than 200,000 people in the United States annually. It is a common cause of chronic insidious low back pain, especially in older patient populations (mean age = 64 years). Lumbar spinal stenosis is a degenerative condition of the spine leading to narrowing in the spaces around the neurovascular bundles and the classic symptom of low back pain that radiates to the buttocks and lower extremities bilaterally. It is typically a progressive waxing and waning process that may deteriorate over years. The pain is typica...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Detailed, comprehensive, and timely reporting on population health by underlying causes of disability and premature death is crucial to understanding and responding to complex patterns of disease and injury burden over time and across age groups, sexes, and locations. The availability of disease burden estimates can promote evidence-based interventions that enable public health researchers, policy makers, and other professionals to implement strategies that can mitigate diseases. It can also facilitate m...

A Randomised Controlled Trial Comparing Ketamine < em > versus < /em > Fentanyl for Procedural Sedation in the Emergency Department for Adults with Isolated Extremity Injury
CONCLUSION: PSA is a safe and efficacious procedure for patients undergoing painful procedures in ED. Patients in both the groups maintained hemodynamic stability throughout the procedure. From our study, we were able to conclude that both ketamine and fentanyl are similar in efficacy for PSA in the ED for adults with isolated limb injuries. In addition, no significant cardiovascular adverse events were noted in either group in our study.PMID:38638669 | PMC:PMC11023337 | DOI:10.5704/MOJ.2403.015 (Source: Pain Physician)

Severe fibromyalgia alleviated by the unique muscle relaxation method of applying low force: A case report
Medicine (Baltimore). 2024 Apr 19;103(16):e37929. doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000037929.ABSTRACTRATIONALE: Fibromyalgia (FM) is characterized by idiopathic persistent chronic pain in the ligaments or musculoskeletal system, and more than half of the patients with FM might have migraine headaches. Direct musculoskeletal intervention could be a non-pharmacological management to relieve symptoms. However, patients with severe FM often have intense pain from only a soft touch, thereby rendering musculoskeletal intervention challenging.PATIENT CONCERNS: A 47-year-old man had progressing intense pain, and this affected his everyday l...
