Evaluation of pain in patients with COVID-19
CONCLUSION: Regarding the results, we conclude that pain is not one of the challenging symptoms and easily manageable in patients with a mild-moderate intensity of COVID-19. Our results were not enough to make a correlation between pain and the clinical course of the disease. Further studies are required for the evaluation of pain including patients in intensive care units.PMID:34671962 | DOI:10.14744/agri.2021.92609

Clinical Challenges and Considerations in Management of Chronic Pain Patients During a COVID-19 Pandemic.
Abstract Since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was deemed a pandemic on 11 March 2020, we have seen exponential increases in the number of cases and deaths worldwide. The rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation requires revisions to clinical practice to defer non-essential clinical services to allocate scarce medical resources to the care of the COVID-19 patient and reduce risk to healthcare workers. Chronic pain patients require long-term multidisciplinary management even during a pandemic. Fear of abandonment, anxiety and depression may increase during this period of social isolation and aggravate pain condi...

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 8680: One Year of COVID-19 Pandemic in Italy: Effect of Sedentary Behavior on Physical Activity Levels and Musculoskeletal Pain among University Students
This study aimed to survey the physical activity levels that were maintained before and during the social restrictions following the pan-demic, their correlation to musculoskeletal pain, as well as analyzing the impact of these COVID-19 restrictions on pain and fatigue that affects daily life activities. A total of 2044 students completed the online questionnaire, of which the results of 1654 participants were eligible. Before the pandemic, the levels of physical activity were distributed as: 19.9% no activity, 30.1% light ac-tivity, 21.5% moderate activity, and 28.5% high activity. After one year of the pandemic, 30.6% of...

Cancer pain management and the opioid crisis in America: How to preserve hard ‐earned gains in improving the quality of cancer pain management
Cancer pain remains a feared consequence of the disease and its treatment. Although prevalent, cancer pain can usually be managed through the skillful application of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions. Unfortunately, access to these therapies has been hampered by interventions designed to contain another serious public health problem: the opioid misuse epidemic. This epidemic and the unintended consequences of efforts to control this outbreak are leading to significant barriers to the provision of cancer pain relief. Oncologists and other professionals treating those with cancer pain will require new knowledg...

Post-herpetic Neuralgia: a Review.
Abstract Post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a chronic neuropathic pain condition that persists 3 months or more following an outbreak of shingles. Shingles, also known as acute herpes zoster, is associated with the reactivation of the dormant varicella zoster virus in an individual who has experienced chicken pox. PHN is associated with persistent and often refractory neuropathic pain. Patients may experience multiple types of pain including a constant deep, aching, or burning pain; a paroxysmal, lancinating pain; hyperalgesia (painful stimuli are more painful than expected); and allodynia (pain associated with typ...

Intravenous calcium Gluconate alleviates Lead-induced abdominal pain, a randomized clinical trial.
CONCLUSION: Intravenous calcium gluconate administration along with morphine can improve abdominal pain in lead poisoning due to the ingestion of lead-contaminated opium. Further interventional studies are recommended to see if response to calcium salts in suspected lead-induced abdominal pain can rule in lead toxicity. TRIAL REGISTRATION: IRCT20171009036661N2.

Effect of Fus subcutaneous needling for cancer pain management: protocol for a pragmatic randomised controlled trial
Introduction Pain is a common symptom in patients with cancer, and pain management is crucial for these patients. Fu’s subcutaneous needling (FSN) is a modern acupuncture therapy based on basic medicine commonly used in patients with pain. However, evidence of its effectiveness in treating cancer pain has not been systematically proven. Therefore, this pragmatic randomised controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of FSN for cancer pain management. Methods and analysis Overall, 120 eligible patients will be recruited and randomly assigned into two groups using block randomisation. Both groups wi...
