conclusions this study showed that, compared to simply increasing the dose of morphine, adding chloropromazine, promethazine, midazolam, and clinidine to morphine significantly controlled pain scores and increased treatment satisfaction in addicted patients without notable side effects. objectives the objective of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effects of adding clonidine, promethazin...

Introduction: N- nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), one of the L-arginine analogs, has been specified as an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase ( NOS).Nitric oxide synthase is an enzyme which leads to nitric oxide synthesis. Since nitric oxide has been known as a pain mediator, it can be said that L-NAME can decrease and relieve pain. In this research the effect of L-NAME on morphine antino...

pain management is crucially important in the postoperative period as it increases patient comfort and satisfaction. the primary outcome of present study was to evaluate the effect of sufentanil added to hyperbaric bupivacaine solution 0.25% in transversus abdominis plane (tap) block, on postoperative analgesic consumption. fifty asa physical status i–ii term primiparous single-tone pregnant wo...

Background: Empathy is the capability to represent the mental and emotional states of other subjects.Previous studies have demonstrated a possible correlation between morphine addiction and altered empathyresponse in morphine-addicted subjects. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of chronic morphineexposure as an animal model of morphine addiction on empathic changes in affective an...

It has been reported that morphine tolerance does not develop in the presence of chronic pain. Therefore, this study was conducted to find out whether chronic inflammatory pain is able to eliminate or attenuate the developed tolerance to analgesic effect of morphine and also to investigate the role of lumbar spinal cord as a candidate site for this interaction. Tolerance was induced in adult ma...

Objective: we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of celecoxib in reducing Intrathecal morphine-induced pruritus in parturient undergoing cesarean section delivery under spinal anesthesia. Materials and methods: In a randomized double-blind placebo controlled study 126 women undergoing elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia (0.5% bupivacaine 12mg plus 0.2 mg preservativefree morphine )wer...

in the present study, the effects of the acute and chronic oral administrations (po) of curcumin in the absence and presence of morphine and naloxone was investigated on the sensation of acute corneal pain in rats. acute corneal pain was induced by the local application of hypertonic saline (5 m nacl) on the corneal surface, and the number of eye wipes was then counted for 30 s. subcutaneous (s...

post operative pain and its control remains one of the most important issues in the field of surgery and health care system. formalin test has been used as a method for assessing pain and analgesia in rats. systemic and spinally administered clonidine, an ?2-adrenergic agonist, is proved to enhance postoperative analgesia. it has also been shown that morphine-dependent rats experience more chro...
