[Clonidine in the treatment of cancer pain]

Nov 2008 Clonidine is an alpha2-adrenergic agonist with analgetic properties. Due to its side-effects, the drug is administered via the epidural or spinal route. A literature search yielded nine controlled studies on clonidine as a supplemental drug in the ... Read more...

Postoperative pain and analgesic requirements after anesthesia with sevoflurane, desflurane or propofol.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: General anesthetics may have nociceptive actions that affect postoperative pain. In studies evaluating postoperative pain, the effect of general anesthetics on analgesic requirements has not been considered except for one recent study ... Read more...

Gabapentin attenuates late but not early postoperative pain after thyroidectomy with superficial cervical plexus block.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Preoperative oral gabapentin has been shown to reduce postoperative pain. However, the effects of gabapentin as an adjunct to regional anesthesia is unclear and its effects on chronic pain remains unknown. In patients undergoing ... Read more...
