Abstract

With the recent spread in monkeypox cases, continuous efforts are made to manage the disease efficiently. Pain at the site of monkeypox lesions and in areas of skin breakdown can be severe. The origin of pain is likely neuropathic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued general guidelines to control pain with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), acetaminophen, gabapentin, and topical agents such as corticosteroids and lidocaine. Guidelines circulated by the World Health Organization (WHO) suggest acetaminophen, tramadol, opioids, and/or topical lidocaine for symptomatic pain management. No first line agent with proven beneficial effect has been recommended in these patients. We present two patients' painful experiences with Monkeypox and suggest lessons learned.

m痘疼痛管理与局部药物:一个案例系列。
随着最近猴痘病例的传播,正在继续努力有效地管理该疾病。猴痘病变部位和皮肤破裂部位的疼痛可能很严重。疼痛的来源可能是神经性的。美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)发布了使用非甾体抗炎药(NSAIDs)、对乙酰氨基酚、加巴喷丁以及皮质类固醇和利多卡因等局部药物控制疼痛的一般指南。世界卫生组织(WHO)发布的指南建议使用对乙酰氨基酚、曲马多、阿片类药物和/或局部利多卡因来治疗症状性疼痛。在这些患者中,没有一线药物被证明是有益的。我们介绍了两例猴痘患者的痛苦经历,并提出了经验教训。
