antidepressants are widely used for the treatment of various neuropathic pain conditions in humans. recent studies have demonstrated that bupropion is effective for the treatment of neuropathic pain. also antidepressants like bupropion showed anti-inflammatory properties. so in the present study, the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of bupropion in mice and rat were investigated. the ace...

background: there are various factors that may cause pain and dysfunction in the pelvic region. myofascial trigger points can likewise contribute in pelvic pain. common treatments for myofascial trigger points include electrotherapy, laser therapy, massage, ischemic compression, dry-needling, stretch, icing, heating, and biofeedback. case report: a 26 year old man with an exertion-related pain ...

The effects of spironolactone, a non-selective aldosterone antagonist, were examined on thermally-induced pain using the hot-plate and tail-flick tests, on chemogenic pain induced by intraplantar capsaicin, on electrically-induced pain, on visceral nociception induced by intraperitoneal acetic acid injection and on haloperidol-induced catalepsy in mice. Spironolactone significantly shortened re...

Objective(s) Current study was undertaken to investigate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of the aqueous extract of Teucrium chamaedrys in mice and rats. Materials and Methods For evaluating of analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity, we used the carrageenan- and dextran-induced paw oedema, acetic acid-induced writhing, tail flick and formalin pain tests. Results The extract of...

Objective(s) The present study was undertaken to investigate the nociception activity of promethazine, a tranquillizer devoid of hypnotic activity in mice. Materials and Methods Antinociception was evaluated, using the acetic acid-induced writhing, tail flick, hot plate and formalin pain tests. Results Promethazine (4 and 6 mg/kg) and acetylsalicylic acid (100 mg/kg) produced a significant...

Background. It seems that based on the independent effects of physical activity and flax oil on pain, it is possible the interactions of these two effects reduces or mitigate the impact of pain or strengthen it. Objectives. This study investigates the effect of high-intensity interval training and flaxseed oil supplementation on hippocampal BDNF expression and pain feeling in male rats. M...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of inflammatory pulpal pain on spatial learning and memory in male wistar rats. fifty-six adult rats were divided into eight groups as follows (n=7 per group): control, sham-operated group that received normal saline, sham vehicle group that received vehicle of capsaicin, three capsaicin treated groups that received intradental injection of 10...

This study examined the role of pain catastrophizing, fear of movement and depression as determinants of repetition-induced summation of activity-related pain. The sample consisted of 90 (44 women and 46 men) work-disabled individuals with chronic low back pain. Participants were asked to lift a series of 18 canisters that varied according to weight (2.9kg, 3.4kg, 3.9kg) and distance from the b...
