Emphasis is placed on the necessity of paincontrol in accordance with Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) principles. Temporary or permanent nervestructure damage due to cooling attenuate pain conduction, finding application across various medical fields. Inthe context of pediatric chest surgery, cryoanalgesia proves exceptionally effective in managing acute pain andpreventing chronic pain. Research demonstrates shortened hospitalization times, potential opioid dose reduction,and improved mobility rehabilitation. The article describes the first intraoperative application of intercostal nervecryoablation during the Nuss procedure in Polish children, showcasing its efficacy in treating acute pain. Twocryoanalgesia techniques are discussed in the article: intraoperative – intrathoracic during the thoracoscopy andpercutaneous – before the surgical procedure. Studies underscore the crucial role of precise probe placement foroptimal results. In conclusion, cryoanalgesia serves as an effective complement to pain control methods, presentingfavorable outcomes in various medical specialties, especially pediatric surgery.

Treatments remain inadequate, in large part, because thepathophysiological mechanisms underlying the development of chronic pain remain poorly understood. Painbiomarkers could potentially identify and measure biological pathways and phenotypical expressions that arealtered by pain, provide insight into biological treatment targets, and help identify at-risk patients who might benefit from early intervention. Biomarkers are used to diagnose, track, and treat other diseases, but no validated clinicalbiomarkers exist yet for chronic pain. To address this problem, the National Institutes of Health Common Fundlaunched the Acute to Chronic Pain Signatures (A2CPS) program to evaluate candidate biomarkers, develop theminto biosignatures, and discover novel biomarkers for chronification of pain after surgery. This article discussescandidate biomarkers identified by A2CPS for evaluation, including genomic, proteomic, metabolomic, lipidomic,neuroimaging, psychophysical, psychological, and behavioral measures. Acute to Chronic Pain Signatures will providethe most comprehensive investigation of biomarkers for the transition to chronic postsurgical pain undertaken todate. Data and analytic resources generated by A2CPS will be shared with the scientific community in hopes thatother investigators will extract valuable insights beyond A2CPS’s initial findings. This article will review the identifiedbiomarkers and rationale for including them, the current state of the science on biomarkers of the transition fromacute to chronic pain, gaps in the literature, and how A2CPS will address these gaps.","PeriodicalId":472438,"journal":{"name":"Ból","volume":"71 S10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140234461","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 is a common nonmotor symptom that affects up to 80% of patients with (Pw) PD bothin prodromal phases and during the subsequent stages of the disease, negatively affecting patient’s quality of lifeand function. Pain in PwPD is rather heterogeneous and may occur because of different mechanisms. Targetingmotor symptoms by dopamine replacement or with neuromodulatory approaches may only partially control PD---related pain. Pain in general has been classified in PwPD according to the motor signs, pain dimensions, or painsubtypes. Recently, a new classification framework focusing on chronic pain was introduced to group different typesof PD pains according to mechanistic descriptors: nociceptive, neuropathic, or neither nociceptive nor neuropathic.This is also in line with the International Classification of Disease-11, which acknowledges the possibility of chronicsecondary musculoskeletal or nociceptive pain due to disease of the CNS. In this narrative review and opinionarticle, a group of basic and clinical scientists revise the mechanism of pain in PD and the challenges faced whenclassifying it as a stepping stone to discuss an integrative view of the current classification approaches and howclinical practice can be influenced by them. Knowledge gaps to be tackled by coming classification and therapeuticefforts are presented, as well as a potential framework to address them in a patient oriented manner.","PeriodicalId":472438,"journal":{"name":"Ból","volume":"8 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140498564","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}

In dental practice, topical anaesthesia of the oral mucosa is used routinely at the injection site before the localanaesthesia by infiltration or regional block, and in various fields of dentistry it may also be the only way needed toensure painless performance of some interventions. Furthermore, topical agents play an important role in relievingpost-treatment ailments, such as post-extraction pain, and are a valuable aid in the symptomatic treatment of painfullesions.

It has a long history of use in the treatment of respiratory tract diseases and has shown to be efficacious in relieving sore throat. In more recent years, ambroxol has gained interest for its potential usefulness in treating neuropathic pain. Research into this area has been slow, despite clear preclinical evidence to support its primary analgesic mechanism of action—blockade of voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels in sensory neurons. Ambroxol is a commercially available inhibitor of Nav1.8, a crucial player in the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain, and Nav1.7, a particularly exciting target for the treatment of chronic pain. In this review, we discuss the analgesic mechanisms of action of ambroxol, as well as proposed synergistic properties, followed by the preclinical and clinical results of its use in the treatment of persistent pain and neuropathic pain symptoms, including trigeminal neuralgia, fibromyalgia, and complex regional pain syndrome. With its well-established safety profile, extensive preclinical and clinical drug data, and early evidence of clinical effectiveness, ambroxol is an old drug worthy of further investigation for repurposing. As a patent-expired drug, a push is needed to progress the drug to clinical trials for neuropathic pain. We encourage the pharmaceutical industry to look at patented drug formulations and take an active role in bringing an optimized version for neuropathic pain to market.","PeriodicalId":472438,"journal":{"name":"Ból","volume":"30 12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135321884","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 article presented here focuses on a critique of the serial model, which iscommonly used to discuss the nociceptive system. The serial model proposes a hierarchical structure, where informationis conducted from the nociceptor through the dorsal horns of the spinal cord to the higher areas of the centralnervous system. A disturbance of the system at one of its lower levels should result in disruption of the integrationof nociceptive information by higher neural centers. However, this model seems to obscure the actual principlesby which the nociceptive system processes information (Coghill, 2020) and is only vaguely reflected in the resultsof animal and human studies. The simplification of the nociceptive system – common in polish textbooks – maylead to a limited understanding of the mechanisms of pain sensation and the utilization of ineffective therapeuticinterventions. In this article, the nociceptive system is discussed in terms of recently proposed distributed (parallel)model. The nociceptive system should not be simplified. Its complexity argues for the use of complex and distributedtherapeutic approaches.","PeriodicalId":472438,"journal":{"name":"Ból","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135253050","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}
