Since pain acts as a source of discomfort, it requires medical suppression. There is a growing interest in the use of herbal remedies as an attractive healthcare alternative to synthetic drugs. This is due to conventional medications being expensive and arguably associated with various adverse effects, hence the necessity for herbal agents that are effective, safe and relatively cheap. Harrisonia abyssinica and Landolphia buchananii are herbs that have been utilized to manage various ailments afflicting people especially in tropical Africa. However, despite their wide folklore use, extensive literature research reveals limited evaluation on the pharmacological activities of their described effects on pain. Thus, the aim of the current study was to evaluate the antinociceptive effects of their methanolic extracts. Experimental mice were divided into a normal control group, a negative control group, a reference group and three dosage groups. The dosage groups were treated with stem bark extracts at concentration of 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg. The formalin paw licking test was used to determine the antinociceptive potential. Evaluation of the antinociceptive activities was compared with diclofenac as the reference drug. The H. abyssinica extract reduced pain by 39.73%-81.13% (in the early phase) and 15.92%-69.84% (in the late phase) while L. buchananii extract reduced it by between 35.35%-47.72% (in the early phase) and 20.57-55.17% (in the late phase). In the early phase, reduction of pain by diclofenac was by 19.97%-46.50% and 76.77-74.80% (in the late phase). Several phytochemicals were observed to be present. The traditional medicinal use of the aforementioned plants in the suppression of pain has thus been confirmed by the study results.","PeriodicalId":16641,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pain and Relief","volume":"2008 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82561782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect on radiculalgias is quite good but often unsatisfying to treat completely low back pain. Subcutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation is now one of the possibility to rescue chronic low back pain. The aim of this prospective study conducted in our center (Nantes, France) is to evaluate the benefit of the subcutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation on chronic low back pain. Method: 34 patients (aged 44-65, mean value 54.3) with chronic bilateral low back pain were evaluated with VAS Score, Medication quantification Scale (MQS), the patient satisfaction, and walking distance before and after stimulation. Stimulation was proposed after failure of multidisciplinary management of the patient with algologist, psychologist and rehabilitation. Electrode stimulation was implanted under local or general anesthesia and a test of 7 days was performed at home. The battery was implanted only if VAS score decreased than more 50%. Mean Follow up was 6 months (range 42 to 3 months). Result: All of 34 patients were implanted with good results: VAS score decreased from 7.5 in preoperative conditions to 2.3 in postop conditions (p ≤ 0.001). 63% of patients estimated than they were very satisfy of the surgery and they could propose that to patients. The MQS decreased from 34 in preoperative to 26 two months after the surgery and to 17 6 months after surgery. Walking distance increase after the surgery (800 meters before surgery and 1700 meters after surgery). We have 1 infection and one migration of electrodes Conclusion: this series shows that subcutaneous stimulation can be benefit to treat refractory low back pain. This surgery was well tolerated, safe.","PeriodicalId":16641,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pain and Relief","volume":"1518 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87818106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chronic pain usually leads to deficit of effective productivity, financial gaining potential, and decreased and disturbed life quality. Pain causes hindrance in daily professional and personal work, physical and mind comfort. If the element of the pain gets clear it become easy to provide immediate treatment for its cure but in most of the cases doesn’t get clear. The major point of focus of the suffering individual or any health professional is to ease or to provide comfort by reducing pain, so that an individual could get back to their daily activities. Treatment plan or schedules can defer person to person and the intensity of the pain. There are few pain that are more adequate than others but it should be kept in mind that usually the chronic pain can’t be treated completely in shorter span of time but it can be managed effectively to provide relief to certain extend.

Methods: A total 11 patients participated in the study with 7 patients referred from pain clinic (non-PDN group) and 4 for patients referred from diabetic foot clinic (PDN group) for lignocaine infusion as a treatment for chronic pain. Both groups of participants were on multiple combination of pain medication with minimal help. All the subjects gave consent for participation and filled out McGill short form (SF) questionnaire before and after the lignocaine infusion. Results: The results show 33% reduction of visual analogue pain score after lignocaine infusion in PDN group compared to 11% reduction of visual analogue pain score in non-PDN group. These data were statistically significant (p 0.05). All 11 patients had no reported adverse effects and their observations were in normal limits throughout the lignocaine infusion.

Peripheral nerve damage causes the release of pro-inflammatory mediators (including interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, bradykinin, substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide, nerve growth factor, and prostaglandins) contributing to the ‘inflammatory soup’[2] The inflammatory response has adaptive functions enabling nerve repair [2]. On the other hand, these mediators have the undesired effect of sensitizing and stimulating nociceptors, leading to neuropathic pain [2]. The intensity of neuropathic pain progressively increases throughout the day [3]. This circadian cycle of neuropathic pain might be due to fluctuation of neurotransmitters and endocrine hormones, as well as repeated somatic stimulation and physical activity [3]. Allodynia (a potential characteristic of neuropathic pain) can exhibit temporal summation [3]. The fact that neuropathic pain often restricts walking and mobility, implies that physical activity evokes or exacerbates neuropathic pain [3]. Thus sensitization and stimulation of the peripheral nerve seem to play an important role in the aggravation throughout the day.","PeriodicalId":16641,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pain and Relief","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84256072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
