Rapid Improvement in Neck Disability, Mobility, and Sleep Quality with Chronic Neck Pain Treated by Fu's Subcutaneous Needling: A Randomized Control Study
CONCLUSION: FSN was able to relieve pain and relax muscle tightness. Notably, FSN significantly improved neck disability and mobility and enhanced sleep quality. These findings demonstrated that FSN could be an effective alternative treatment option for patients with chronic neck pain. Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03605576, registered on July 30, 2018.PMID:36247101 | PMC:PMC9553660 | DOI:10.1155/2022/7592873

A Comprehensive Review: Chronic Pain Sequelae in the Presence of Ehlers –Danlos Syndrome
AbstractPurpose of ReviewPatients diagnosed with Ehlers –Danlos syndromes (EDS), and especially those with the hypermobility subtype, often experience a diverse range of acute and chronic pain conditions throughout their lifetime. These can present in a variety of different phenotypes and comorbidities, making it difficult to develop structured treatme nt protocols. This review seeks to summarize the current literature to address old and novel treatments for EDS.Recent FindingsHistorically, medications and surgery have been used to treat patients with EDS but with low efficacy. Newer therapies that have shown promising e...

TENS Attenuates Repetition-Induced Summation of Activity-Related Pain Following Experimentally Induced Muscle Soreness
This study sought to determine whether repetition-induced summation of activity-related pain (RISP) could be demonstrated in healthy individuals in response to experimentally induced musculoskeletal pain. This study also assessed the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on RISP. The relation between the index of RISP and psychological factors such as catastrophizing and fear of pain was also explored. The sample consisted of 56 healthy (35 women, 21 men) participants who underwent 2 testing sessions, separated by 24 hours. In the first session, musculoskeletal pain was induced with a delayed-onset muscle...

Brain mechanisms of pain relief by transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation: A functional magnetic resonance imaging study
ConclusionTENS led to pain reduction, probably due to activation of the descending pain‐inhibitory pathway, indicating that this TENS method may be applied in clinical practice.

Management of Refractory Pain After Total Joint Replacement
AbstractPurpose of ReviewChronic pain after total joint replacement (TJA), specifically total knee replacement (TKA), is becoming more of a burden on patients, physicians, and the healthcare system as the number of joint replacements performed increases year after year. The management of this type of pain is critical, and therefore, understanding the various modalities physicians can use to help patients with refractory pain after TJA is essential.Recent FindingsThe modalities by which chronic pain can be successfully managed include genicular nerve radioablation therapy (GN-RFA), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES...

Meta ‐analysis of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for relief of spinal pain
Abstract We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis analysing the existing data on transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) or interferential current (IFC) for chronic low back pain (CLBP) and/or neck pain (CNP) taking into account intensity and timing of stimulation, examining pain, function and disability. Seven electronic databases were searched for TENS or IFC treatment in non‐specific CLBP or CNP. Four reviewers independently selected randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of TENS or IFC intervention in adult individuals with non‐specific CLBP or CNP. Primary outcomes were for self‐reported pain...

New Advances in Acute Postoperative Pain Management
This article highlights some of the promising new advances and approaches in postoperative pain management.Recent FindingsOver the last decade, Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) pathways and protocols are becoming the benchmark standards for enhancing postoperative recovery. Multimodal analgesia (MMA) is an essential component of such care. Further, in the wake of serious and persistent concern on the opioid epidemic in the USA, there has been a recent renewal of interest in non-opioid alternatives or adjuncts in controlling postoperative pain, often in the context of MMA. Intravenous (IV) acetaminophen, non-steroidal...

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation in Relieving Neuropathic Pain: Basic Mechanisms and Clinical Applications
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTranscutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is widely used as a non-pharmacological approach for pain relief in a variety of clinical conditions. This manuscript aimed to review the basic mechanisms and clinical applications regarding the use of TENS for alleviating the peripheral (PNP) and central neuropathic pain (CNP).Recent FindingsBasic studies on animal models showed that TENS could alleviate pain by modulating neurotransmitters and receptors in the stimulation site and its upper levels, including the spinal cord, brainstem, and brain. Besides, many clinical studies have investigated t...

Neuromodulation in Chronic Pelvic Pain: A Narrative Review
AbstractChronic primary pelvic pain syndrome (CPPPS) is a heterogeneous disease with unknown pathogenesis and a lack of distinct pathological features, which complicates diagnosis and therapy and has a significant impact on patients' daily life. Because pharmacological management is ineffective and long-term use may result in additional system damage, developing a more effective treatment is critical. Neuromodulation has advanced rapidly over the last few decades, and various types of neuromodulations have demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of CPPPS. In this article we discuss the evolution of neuromodulation technolog...

Early transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation reduces hyperalgesia and decreases activation of spinal glial cells in mice with neuropathic pain
Summary: Application of early transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in a mouse model of neuropathic pain suppressed hyperalgesia and attenuated spinal microglial activation.Abstract: Although transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is widely used for the treatment of neuropathic pain, its effectiveness and mechanism of action in reducing neuropathic pain remain uncertain. We investigated the effects of early TENS (starting from the day after surgery) in mice with neuropathic pain, on hyperalgesia, glial cell activation, pain transmission neuron sensitization, expression of proinflammatory cytokines, and op...

Adverse event reporting in nonpharmacologic, noninterventional pain clinical trials: ACTTION systematic review
Summary: The results of this systematic review suggest that adverse event reporting in trials examining nonpharmacologic, noninterventional pain treatments needs to improve.Abstract: Assessment of treatment safety is 1 of the primary goals of clinical trials. Organizations and working groups have created reporting guidelines for adverse events (AEs). Previous research examining AE reporting for pharmacologic clinical trials of analgesics in major pain journals found many reporting inadequacies, suggesting that analgesic trials are not adhering to existing AE reporting guidelines. The present systematic review documented AE...
