Diskitis, Osteomyelitis, Spinal Epidural Abscess, Meningitis, and Endocarditis Following Sacroiliac Joint Injection for the Treatment of Low-Back Pain in a Patient on Therapy for Hepatitis C Virus
Conclusions: Immunocompromised patients should be identified prior to treatment, and the small possibility of devastating complications should be thoughtfully weighed against the potential benefit of the procedure. Conservative management should be maximized initially, and if a procedure is done, strict asepsis must be maintained. Prophylaxis for S. aureus should be considered for immunocompromised patients undergoing interventional spine procedures.

(127) Can viral infections cause sudden-onset of intractable pain?
Pain associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), polio, hepatitis C, and herpes zoster is well known, so it is likely that other viruses may precipitate pain. There are some intractable pain patients whose condition appeared suddenly, without warning, and with no apparent pre-disposing condition. The on-going pain is usually severe headache, upper torso muscle and joint pain, or pelvic pain. The sudden onset in these cases suggests a possible viral etiology. Six adult (three male and three female) intractable pain patients who suddenly developed their condition without warning or precipitating event were tested for...

(490) Development and preliminary evaluation of an integrated cognitive-behavior treatment for patients with Hepatitis C virus who have comorbid chronic pain and substance use disorder
Individuals with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) have high rates of chronic pain and substance use disorders (SUDs). Limited data are available on methods of treating patients with co-occurring chronic pain and SUD. We adapted an 8-session cognitive-behavior treatment (CBT) for chronic pain to include relapse prevention for SUD and recommendations for improving HCV-related health among HCV-positive patients with chronic pain and current or past SUD. Traditional CBTs for pain and relapse prevention were modified based on cross-sectional assessments of biopsychosocial factors associated with chronic pain in patients with HCV, fo...

Glucose solution is more effective in relieving pain in neonates than non ‐nutritive sucking: A randomized clinical trial
ConclusionThe use of 25% glucose before the vaccination procedure was more effective in relieving acute pain, with newborns in the G25 group registering scores two times lower on the NIPS scale. The clinical practice of administering 25% glucose is therefore a suggested nondrug measure for pain relief during painful procedures. SignificanceNeonates who received 25% glucose registered lower NIPS scores than those from the NNS group; the crying time was shorter among newborns in the G25 group than in the NNS and control groups; the use of 25% glucose before the vaccination procedure was more effective in relieving acute pain.

New recommendations aim to improve safety of pain-relieving spinal steroid injections
More and more people are seeking injections of anti-inflammatory steroid medications for back and neck pain. In 2011, the last year for which complete information is available, doctors pushed the plunger on 2.3 million steroid injections into the spine — and that’s just among people covered by Medicare. These injections deliver drugs that mimic the effects of two hormones, cortisone and hydrocortisone, to reduce inflammation and help relieve pain. When they work — they don’t always — such injections can bring profound relief. “If you are in severe pain with a ruptured spinal disc and you get a stero...

Sugar and warmth additively decrease pain in newborns getting vaccines
Commentary on: Gray L, Garza E, Zageris D, et al. Sucrose and warmth for analgesia in healthy newborns: an RCT. Pediatrics 2015;135:e607–14. Context Sucrose as an analgesic has been well studied in the newborn and infant population undergoing brief noxious stimuli such as vaccines or heel sticks.1 Providing additional, non-pharmacological, therapeutic options to create a synergy with the sucrose has been considered in other studies.2 Breast feeding, which supplies the sweetness of sugar (breast milk) and skin-to-skin contact, has been thought to provide radiant body heat.3 4 The authors of this study draw on their pr...

ACR Appropriateness Criteria ® Right Upper Quadrant Pain: 2022 Update
J Am Coll Radiol. 2023 May;20(5S):S211-S223. doi: 10.1016/j.jacr.2023.02.011.ABSTRACTAcute right upper quadrant pain is one of the most common presenting symptoms in hospital emergency departments, as well as outpatient settings. Although gallstone-related acute cholecystitis is a leading consideration in diagnosis, a myriad of extrabiliary sources including hepatic, pancreatic, gastroduodenal, and musculoskeletal should also be considered. This document focuses on the diagnostic accuracy of imaging studies performed specifically to evaluate acute right upper quadrant pain, with biliary etiologies including acute cholecyst...

Biopsychosocial factors associated with pain in veterans with the hepatitis C virus
Abstract Little research has examined etiological factors associated with pain in patients with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between biopsychosocial factors and pain among patients with HCV. Patients with HCV and pain (n = 119) completed self-report measures of pain, mental health functioning, pain-specific psychosocial variables (pain catastrophizing, self-efficacy for managing pain, social support), prescription opioid use, and demographic characteristics. In multivariate models, biopsychosocial factors accounted for 37 % of the variance in pain seve...

Correlation between liver cancer pain and the HIF-1 and VEGF expression levels.
Authors: Zhang G, Feng GY, Guo YR, Liang DQ, Yuan Y, Wang HL Abstract A possible correlation between liver cancer pain and the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression levels was examined. From January, 2015 to January, 2016, 30 patients suffering from liver cancer with pain, 30 patients with liver cancer without pain and 30 hepatitis patients with pain were enrolled in the study. Pain level was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS), the expression levels of HIF-1 and VEGF mRNA were determined by RT-PCR and the expression levels of HIF-1 and VEGF proteins were exa...

Epidemiology of pain among outpatients in methadone maintenance treatment programs
Conclusions: Clinically significant pain was reported by almost half of the patients in MMT programs and was associated with medical and psychological comorbidity. Pain was often treated with opioids and was not associated with measures of drug use. Studies are needed to further clarify these associations and determine their importance for pain treatment strategies.

Managing chronic pain in adults with haemophilia: current status and call to action
Summary Haemophilic arthroses are associated with acute pain during bleeding episodes and with chronic pain caused by arthritic complications of repeated bleeding into joints. Unlike other conditions (e.g. osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, sickle cell disease), there are limited data on pain management in haemophilia. Management of arthritic individuals and those with sickle cell disease relies heavily on administration of acetaminophen, non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioid analgesics. In haemophilia, acetaminophen often has limited efficacy at therapeutic doses, offering a narrow dosing range ...

The Assessment and Management of Pain in Cirrhosis
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe treatment of pain in patients with cirrhosis is complicated by unpredictable hepatic drug metabolism and a higher risk of adverse drug reactions. We aimed to conduct a scoping review regarding pain management in cirrhosis.Recent FindingsDespite the high prevalence of pain in patients with cirrhosis, there is little literature to guide the management of pain in this population. Complex pain syndromes and disease-specific pain etiologies are common in patients with cirrhosis. There are numerous contraindications and limitations when considering pharmacotherapy for analgesia in cirrhosis, specific...
