Rapid and appropriate treatment is crucial for achieving optimal outcomes in these patients. Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) are two commonly used interventions for acute ischemic stroke, but their effectiveness in improving neurological symptoms and functional outcomes in patients with hemiplegia remains uncertain. The aim of this work was to evaluate the impact of IVT and MT within a 4.5-h time frame on patients with acute ischemic stroke and hemiplegia. A systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Relevant studies that assessed the impact of IVT and MT within 4.5-h on hemiplegia in patients with an acute ischemic stroke were included. Data were extracted and analyzed to determine the overall effects of these interventions. Most included case reports indicate positive outcomes in terms of neurological symptom improvement and functional recovery in patients with hemiplegia after receiving IVT and MT within the specified time frame. However, the heterogeneity among the patients and the limited use of IVT due to contraindications posed challenges in determining the most effective treatment option. The findings from the included studies demonstrate that both interventions led to a decrease in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores, indicating an improvement in neurological symptoms.

This study aims to compare the clinical effectiveness and treatment satisfaction of two triple‐therapy regimens in treating neuropathic pain in a real‐world setting. This prospective, single‐center, observational study compared the efficacy, safety, and treatment satisfaction of triple therapy in Pregabalin triple therapy versus Gabapentin triple therapy for patients with neuropathic pain. The primary outcome measured the reduction in mean Self‐Administered Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs pain score value from the baseline to 12 weeks posttreatment. The secondary outcome measured the treatment satisfaction for both therapies using the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication version 1.4. Of 264 patients who received either treatment group, during the third follow‐up, it became evident that Group A Pregabalin triple therapy yielded a significantly more substantial reduction in neuropathic pain (60.61%) when compared to Group B Gabapentin triple therapy (12.88%). Furthermore, patients expressed markedly higher levels of satisfaction and convenience with the Pregabalin treatment (p ≤ 0.001). Our study's findings, encompassing both clinical effectiveness and treatment satisfaction, unequivocally demonstrate that Group A surpasses Group B in ameliorating neuropathic symptoms and signs. Pregabalin is a more effective and convenient treatment for neuropathic pain than Gabapentin, with no significant difference in side effects. Clinicians should consider Pregabalin as a first‐line treatment option for neuropathic pain, especially for patients not responding to Gabapentin or who seek a more convenient option.","PeriodicalId":94030,"journal":{"name":"Ibrain","volume":"3 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138585328","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}

Stauntonia chinensis is extracted from <i>Stauntonia chinensis</i> DC, which has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine to control trigeminal neuralgia or sciatica. However, the specific anti-neuralgia mechanism of Stauntonia chinensis is unknown. In this study, the analgesic effect of Stauntonia chinensis injection (SCI) in mice with neuropathic pain and the possible mechanisms are explored. We find that a local injection of 0.1 mL Stauntonia chinensis for 14 days can considerably relieve mechanical hyperalgesia and thermal hyperalgesia in mice with sciatic chronic constriction injury (CCI). Immunofluorescence staining shows that SCI reduces neuroinflammation in the spinal cord of CCI mice. RNA sequencing reveals that the expression of postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95), a postsynaptic scaffold protein, is downregulated in the spinal cord of CCI mice, but upregulated after SCI administration. Immunofluorescence experiments also demonstrate that SCI administration reverses microglia proliferation and PSD-95 downregulation in CCI mice.
