Cryoanalgesia for refractory neuralgia
Introduction Neuropathic pain from peripheral nerve disease or injury consequent to trauma, surgery, infection, cancer or other causes is often referred to as neuralgia. It is common and often difficult to treat. For instance, the incidences of chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) are reported to range between 25 to 50% in patients underwent thoracic surgeries[1,2] , mastectomies[3,4] or abdominal...
متن کاملPudendal nerve entrapment as source of intractable perineal pain.
Perineal pain caused by pudendal nerve entrapment is a rarely reported entity, with only a handful of cases in the modern literature. A 25-yr-old male medical student had refractory unilateral orchialgia for 32 mo and concomitant proctalgia for 14 mo.

متن کاملThought Suppression, Catastrophizing, and Pain1
This study examined the effects of thought suppression, prior to an experimental pain procedure, on subsequent pain experience. The study also examined the role of thought intrusions in mediating the relation between (1) thought suppression and pain, and (2) catastrophizing and pain. Catastrophizers (n = 34) and noncatastrophizers (n = 36) made pain ratings while one arm was immersed in ice wat...
متن کاملCryoanalgesia for post-herpetic neuralgia: a new treatment.
The existent therapeutic options for post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) are varied, albeit not sufficiently effective. The aim of this study was to try a new treatment modality for PHN. A spray of liquid nitrogen (LN) was used in 47 patients suffering from PHN as a stimulator of a mechanism not yet completely understood. The LN spray was carefully applied (so as not to freeze the skin surface) along...
متن کاملSimple perineal and elaborated perineal posterior urethroplasty
A pelvic fracture urethral distraction defect (PFUDD) can present in varying lengths and degrees of complexity. In recent decades the repair of PFUDD has developed into a reliance on a perineal anastomotic approach for all but the most complex cases, which might still require an abdominal transpubic approach, or rarely a staged skin-inlay procedure. There is now controversy about the extent to ...
