{"title":"Efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation on tension-type headache and migraine: A systematic review","authors":"Gupta Saloni, G. Deepak, M. Preeti, Garg Shobit, Singhal Tushar","doi":"10.4103/ijpn.ijpn_24_22","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/ijpn.ijpn_24_22","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Headache is one of the most common conditions troubling nearly 68% of the world's population. Tension-type headache (TTH) & migraine are the most common forms of classical headaches, which is nowadays mostly neglected, associated with frequent, severe pain and significant functional impairment. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), is a non-invasive, painless brain stimulation treatment that uses direct electrical currents to stimulate specific parts of the brain. Various studies demonstrated tDCS as a valued device to treat neuropsychiatric conditions such as chronic headache & associated anxiodepressive condition. Objective: The aim of this the current review was to evaluate the effectiveness of tDCS in the management of TTH and Migraine. Results generated from various studies for the effectiveness of tDCS in TTH & Migraine. Methods: We programmed our search strategy, to identify studies pertaining to use of tDCS and pain management in TTH & migraine, within the Database of the Cochrane Library of Systematic Reviews, & various author manuscripts in PMC, MEDLINE, EMBASE, NLM, PsycINFO, Other indexed citations from inception to December 2021 and potentially relevant studies. Outcomes: The outcomes of interest include: Effective pain management, in terms of headache intensity, frequency, its episodes, associated depression, anxiety, in target population prioritised by the individual reviews. The evidences were mapped and synthesised with appropriate health problem, patient subgroups, intervention type, context and outcome.Conclusions: We found a significant reduction of pain intensity in patients receiving tDCS treatment, also the pain intensity and duration were significantly improved from baseline after tDCS treatment and during a follow-up period. There was a significant reduction of pain intensity by both anodal and cathodal stimulation conditions, with noteworthy decrease in episodic headaches equally by both 1mA and 2mA current intensities. The aforementioned works support the utility of tDCS in the pain management of TTH and migraine offering a hope for patients with this debilitating disease. However, the review shows promising results in the pain management by tDCS, but the included studies must be analysed critically since most of them were pilot studies, with some having adapted an open-label design.","PeriodicalId":32328,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Pain","volume":"36 1","pages":"128 - 134"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42330162","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}

Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the quality of postoperative analgesia in abdominal hysterectomy by visual analog scale (VAS) in the group of 0.125% bupivacaine 15 ml with dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg and in the group of 0.125% bupivacaine 15 ml alone. Settings and Design: A prospective observational analytical study was conducted in a tertiary care government hospital including 80 patients undergoing hysterectomy divided into two groups of 40 each. Subjects and Methods: Group A included those patients who received 0.125% bupivacaine 15 ml with dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg and Group B patients received bupivacaine 15 ml alone. The pain was assessed by VAS. Rescue analgesia was given with diclofenac sodium 75 mg intramuscular on demand or whenever the VAS score was ≥4. The level of sedation was assessed using the four-point Sedation Scale. Nausea and vomiting were assessed by four-point categorical scales. Statistical Analysis: Mean and standard deviation were used to depict quantitative data, and paired t-test was used to compare the groups. Results: The combination of bupivacaine with dexmedetomidine has a better and longer anesthetic effect than bupivacaine alone (P < 0.001). The total diclofenac consumption in Group A was less (95.63 [±33.92] mg) than in Group B (150 [±0.0] mg), P < 0.01. Group A rescue analgesia was required after 2 h in only one (2.5%) patient, whereas in Group B, rescue analgesia was required immediately at 0 h in six (15%) patients (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The duration of analgesia was longer, and number of doses of rescue analgesia during the first 24 h after operation was significantly less in the group who received bupivacaine with dexmedetomidine when compared with bupivacaine alone.","PeriodicalId":32328,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Pain","volume":"36 1","pages":"147 - 151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48250381","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}

Although fetus is incapable of declaring pain, various studies have shown that the mere experience of pain without the aptitude of self-contemplation is worth paying attention to, and that the pain in fetus need not be comparable to that of a mature adult to matter. Furthermore, refusing to acknowledge fetal pain in late preterm fetuses would jeopardize the advances in neonatal care because it would question the use of analgesia in neonates of similar gestational age. This systematic review article examines the neuroanatomical and physiological evidence of nociception in the fetus and its implications, which compel the need for its alleviation. It looks into the adequacy of International Association for the Study of Pain definition of pain to define fetal pain. The article also provides a brief overview of the existing literature on whether safe analgesia and anesthesia techniques exist for abortions and therapeutic fetal procedures.

Aims and Objectives: To assess the efficacy of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) compared to treatment as usual (TAU) on headache-related disability and the psychological impact of headache on life of patients suffering from TTH. Materials and Methods: Thirty right-handed TTH patients HDI (headache disability index) > 30 were randomly allocated to group A (tDCS + TAU), group B (CBT + TAU), and group C (TAU). While the primary outcome measure was headache related disability (Headache Disability Index(HDI)), somatic symptoms (Somatic Symptom Severity (SSS-8)), anxiety & depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)) and sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Assessments were done at baseline, end of the third and sixth month. Results: We found a statistically significant reduction in HDI (F=12.419, p <0.001), SSS-8 (F=4.587, p=0.010), and HADS-anxiety (F=4.810, p=0.002). tDCS showed better efficacy than CBT, while these two were significantly better than TAU on HDI and SSS-8. On HADS-A also both tDCS and CBT were better than TAU, but showed no significant difference between them. Conclusion: Supplementing non-pharmacological techniques like tDCS and CBT will be effective in reducing headache-related disability and associated psychological symptoms.","PeriodicalId":32328,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Pain","volume":"36 1","pages":"140 - 146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70764561","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}
