The Role of Interventional Pain Management Strategies for Neuropathic Pelvic Pain in Endometriosis
CONCLUSION: Endometriosis is a complex condition causing various forms of pain including nerve involvement, scar tissue formation, and bowel/bladder symptoms. Interventional pain management techniques are effective for managing endometriosis-related pain.KEY WORDS: Endometriosis, chronic pain, therapeutic interventions, interventional techniques, pain injections, visceral pain, peripheral pain.PMID:37774202 (Source: Pain Physician)

Prognosis of patients with neuropathic low back-related leg pain: An exploratory study using prospective data from UK primary care
This prospective cohort study investigates the prognosis of patients with neuropathic low back-related leg pain (LBLP) consulting in UK primary care. Data from 511 patients were collected using standardised baseline clinical examinations (including MRI scan findings), self-report questionnaires at baseline, 4-months, 12-months and 3-years. Cases of possible neuropathic pain (NP) and persistent-NP were identified using either of two definitions: i) clinical diagnosis of sciatica, ii) self-report version of Leeds Assessment for Neurological Symptoms and Signs (s-LANSS).

Importance of Sacrotuberous Ligament in Transgluteal Approach for Sciatic Nerve Entrapment in the Greater Sciatic Notch (Piriformis Syndrome)
CONCLUSION: Sciatic nerve decompression is effective in pain relief in chronic sciatica due to sciatic nerve entrapment at the greater sciatic notch. Its effect was further enhanced by circumferential dissection of the sciatic nerve based on the compartment formed by the piriformis muscle and the sacrotuberous ligament in the greater sciatic notch.PMID:37752819 | DOI:10.3340/jkns.2023.0166 (Source: Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society)

The McKenzie Method versus guideline-based advice in the treatment of sciatica: 24-month outcomes of a randomised clinical trial
CONCLUSIONS: Multiple sessions of McKenzie-based back exercises with a McKenzie-specific patient's educational book produced effects equal to guideline-based advice at long-term follow-up. However, the power of these results is diminished due to the small patient population and confounding factors.PMID:37605454 | DOI:10.1177/02692155231196393 (Source: Clinical Rehabilitation)

186. In a randomized trial of patients with persistent sciatica, CT-guided pulsed radiofrequency combined with transforaminal epidural steroid injection lead to superior pain relief over 1 year vs steroid injection alone
Evidence regarding effective nonoperative management of sciatica remains limited. NICE guidelines recommend transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) for short-term pain management. Data are needed to demonstrate whether a robust minimally invasive percutaneous strategy can have a prolonged clinical benefit to avoid further intervention. (Source: The Spine Journal)

Potential analgesic effects of psychedelics on select chronic pain conditions: A survey study
ConclusionsFull doses and microdoses may hold value in the treatment of some specific chronic pain conditions.SignificancePsychedelic substances are receiving increasing attention from the scientific literature because of evidence showing beneficial effects on several measures related to mental health in clinical samples and healthy volunteers samples. Previous evidence suggests that people suffering from chronic pain are using psychedelics to seek relief and the present paper presents the results of a survey study investigating their use and analgesic effects among individuals suffering from fibromyalgia, arthritis, migra...
