Larger pain areas are not associated with signs of central sensitization. Results from a study recently published in Pain Medicine indicate that greater pain extent of chronic tension-type headache (CTTH) correlates with older age and greater emotional and physical burdens in patients.1 The study also shows that pain extent is not related to anxiety, depression, or pressure pain […]
Read MoreClobazam was found to be less sedating than commonly used benzodiazepines. Clobazam is more effective than placebo in reducing low back pain, according to a randomized, placebo-controlled trial described in the European Journal of Pain.1 Benzodiazepines were initially used in the treatment of low back pain because of their muscle-relaxant effects. Rodent and human studies suggest […]
Read MoreUsing deep neural network (DNN) models to predict in-hospital mortality and identify high-risk surgical patients produces better or similar results as currently published risk scores, a new study suggests. This application of deep learning could lead to more effective care for high-risk patients and better allocation of hospital resources, according to the researchers. “Patients undergoing […]
Read MoreLower limb compression using a sequential compression device (SCD) significantly decreased the incidence of maternal hypotension in women receiving epidural anesthesia, researchers reported here at the annual meeting of the American College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians. Studies find that 30% of patients who choose epidural anesthesia during labor experience hypotension despite the standard prophylaxis of […]

Diffuse apneic oxygenation (DAO) uses high-flow nasal cannula oxygen during laryngoscopy for endotracheal intubation. This approach is believed to flush CO2 from the lungs and to improve […]
