Comparison of ultrasound-guided subacromial corticosteroid and ozone (O2-O3) injections in the treatment of chronic rota...
Published in The Korean journal of pain
: The authors aimed to compare the effects of a one-time ultrasound (US)-guided subacromial corticosteroid injection and three-time ozone (O2-O3) injection in patients with chronic supraspinatus tendinopathy. : Participants were randomly assigned to the corticosteroid group (n = 22) or ozone group (n = 22). Injections in both groups were administer...
The ability of orexin-A to modify pain-induced cyclooxygenase-2 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression is asso...
Published in The Korean journal of pain
The rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) is a critical region for the management of nociception. The RVM is also involved in learning and memory processes due to its relationship with the hippocampus. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms behind orexin-A signaling in the RVM and hippocampus's effects on capsaici...
The effects of complex decongestive therapy on pain and functionality in individuals with breast cancer who developed ad...
Published in The Korean journal of pain
This study aimed to determine the impact of complex decongestive therapy applications on upper extremity function in breast cancer patients who developed adhesive capsulitis after lymphedema. Thirty patients who developed adhesive capsulitis due to lymphedema were divided into two groups as study (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. Both groups re...
Intrathecal administration of naringenin improves motor dysfunction and neuropathic pain following compression spinal co...
Published in The Korean journal of pain
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most debilitating disorders throughout the world, causing persistent sensory-motor dysfunction, with no effective treatment. Oxidative stress and inflammatory responses play key roles in the secondary phase of SCI. Naringenin (NAR) is a natural flavonoid with known anti-inflammatory and antioxidative propertie...
Efficacy and safety of low dose oral ketamine for controlling pain and distress during intravenous cannulation in childr...
Published in The Korean journal of pain
Ketamine is widely used in infants and young children for procedural sedation and anesthesia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low dose oral ketamine to control pain and distress in children during intravenous (IV) cannulation. This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind study, including children aged between 3 a...
Relationship between needle depth for lumbar transforaminal epidural injection and patients' height and weight using mag...
Published in The Korean journal of pain
Optimal needle depth in transforaminal epidural injection (TFEI) is determined by body measurements and is influenced by the needle entry angle. Physician can choose the appropriate needle length and perform the procedure more effectively if depth is predicted in advance. This retrospective study included patients with lumbosacral pain from a singl...
Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of epidural steroid injection using a nonparticulate steroid, dexamethasone or bet...
Published in The Korean journal of pain
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has prohibited epidural steroid injection (ESI) with particulate steroids. Thus, this study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of ESI with two nonparticulate steroids, dexamethasone and betamethasone. The eligible patients (n = 600) who received ESI (0 week) with dexamethasone (ESI-dexa) or betamethasone ...
Not just sensitization: sympathetic mechanisms contribute to expand experimental referred pain.
Published in The Korean journal of pain
Widespread pain partially depends upon sensitization of central pain mechanisms. However, mechanisms controlling pain distribution are not completely known. The present study sought to assess skin temperature variations in the area of experimentally-induced pain and potential sex differences. Pressure-pain thresholds (PPTs) were measured on the rig...
Evaluation of YouTube videos as sources of information about complex regional pain syndrome.
Published in The Korean journal of pain
As the internet usage becomes easily accessible, the patients are more frequently searching about diseases and medical/non-medical treatments. Considering that complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a debilitating disease, it is important to check the information that patients are accessing. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the reliabil...
