Perineural dexmedetomidine added to ropivacaine causes a dose-dependent increase in the duration of thermal antinociception in sciatic nerve block in rat.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: The current study was designed to test the hypothesis that dexmedetomidine added to ropivacaine would increase the duration of antinociception to a thermal stimulus in a dose-dependent fashion in a rat model of sciatic nerve blockade. ... Read more...

Association of depression and pain interference with disease-management self-efficacy in community-dwelling individuals with spinal cord injury.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine factors influencing disease-management self-efficacy in individuals with spinal cord injury. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS/PATIENTS: Forty-nine community-dwelling individuals with chronic spinal cord injury (mean ... Read more...

Validity of electrical stimulus magnitude matching in chronic pain.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To examine the validity of the PainMatcher in chronic pain. DESIGN: Comparison of parallel pain estimates from visual analogue scales with electrical stimulus magnitude matching. PATIENTS: Thirty-one patients with chronic musculoskeletal ... Read more...
