Implementing the SAFE Principles for the Development of Pain Medicine Therapeutic Algorithms That Include Neuromodulation Techniques.

چکیده
Currently accepted chronic pain treatment algorithms have positioned therapies according to levels of invasiveness and up-front costs. After reviewing updated literature on efficacy and cost outcomes of care for patients with chronic pain that include interventional implantable technologies, we offer a new model of thinking when formulating algorithms of care that might include more invasive and costly interventions such as spinal cord stimulation, the SAFE principles. These SAFE principles include "safety,""appropriateness,""fiscal neutrality," and "efficacy."

Development of 153Sm/177Lu-EDTMP as a possible therapeutic complex
Introduction:Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) has been demonstrated to be an effective therapeutic tool in patients with disseminated bone metastasis. TRT is generally performed with a single radionuclide. In this study we investigated the feasibility of combined TRT with a high-energy beta emitter (153Sm) and a low energy beta emitter (177Lu) in wistar...

Bone is the third most common site of metastatic disease. Bone pain is the major source of morbidity associated bone metastasis. Bone-seeking radiopharma- ceuticals have been applied for many years. The ability to simultaneously treat multiple sites of disease with a more probable therapeutic effect in earlier phases of metastatic disease is one of the advantages of radiopharmaceuticals. ...
