微型针刀松解疗法治疗颈源性头痛的临床研究

目的:观察微型针刀松解疗法及针灸治疗颈源性头痛的疗效差异。方法:选取2015年7月~2018年6月在我院门诊确诊为颈源性头痛的71例患者,并随机分为针刀组(34例)和针灸组(37例),针刀组采用微型针刀松解治疗,针灸组给予单纯针灸治疗,分别于治疗前后采用视觉模拟评分法(VAS)进行疗效评定。结果:针刀组总有效率为97.05%,显著高于针灸组的81.08%(P<0.05);针刀组静息、活动VAS评分改善程度均显著优于针灸组(P<0.05)。结论:微型针刀松解疗法治疗颈源性头痛疗效显著,值得临床推广应用。     

Contribution of Vision,Touch, and Hearing to the Use of Sham Devices in Acupuncture-Related Studies

This study investigates whether visual deprivation influences participants' accuracy in differentiating between real and sham acupuncture needles. It also evaluates the relative contributions of tactile, visual, and auditory cues that participants use in their decision-making processes. In addition, a simple sensory decision-making model for research using acupuncture sham devices as comparative controls is proposed. Forty healthy individuals underwent two conditions (blindfolded and sighted) in random sequence. Four sham and four real needles were randomly applied to the participants' lower limb acupoints (ST32 to ST39). Participants responded which needle type was applied. Participants then verbally answered a questionnaire on which sensory cues influenced their decision-making. The proportion of correct judgments, P(C), was calculated to indicate the participants' accuracy in distinguishing between the needle types. Visual deprivation did not significantly influence the participants' discrimination accuracy. Tactile cues were the dominant sensory modality used in decision-making, followed by visual and auditory cues. Sharp and blunt sensations were associated with the real and sham needles, respectively, for both conditions. This study confirmed that tactile cues were the main sensory modalities used in participant decision-making during acupuncture administration. Also, short-term blindfolding of participants during procedures will unlikely influence blinding effectiveness.Clinical trial registration numberNot applicable. This study does not fall under the definition of a clinical trial under the ICMJE guidelines.

Bloqueo ecoguiado bajo el músculo multífido para el dolor postoperatorio tras cirugía de columna lumbar: serie prospectiva de casos

We describe a series of 15 patients scheduled for single level lumbar spine decompression with instrumentation receiving ultrasound (US) guided submultifidus block (SMFB). In this series, injections of local anesthetic deep to the multifidus muscle provided reliable block of dorsal rami of spinal nerves at multiple levels. With US, the multifidus muscle can be identified both in axial and parasagittal planes. Needle tip is easily visualized beneath the multifidus and medial to the transverse process. Good quality analgesia was documented by pain scores. There were no adverse events. Further studies are needed to compare this nerve block with routine multimodal analgesia or with the recently described thoracolumbar interfascial plane block to compare safety and analgesic efficacy.     

Neuraxial anesthesia in a parturient with common variable immunodeficiency: a case report

Choosing whether or not to initiate neuraxial anesthesia in pregnant women with immune system defects may be challenging. Anesthesiologists have the responsibility of making the best decision in terms of anesthesia management for both mother and baby during the labor and delivery process. Whether neuraxial anesthesia is associated with an increased risk of central nervous system infection in immunocompromised compared with healthy patients is unknown. It is also unclear if maternal immune modulation required for fetal tolerance makes pregnant women susceptible to pathogens and causes an altered immune response. Infection-related complications of neuraxial anesthesia are rare but may be severe, especially in immunocompromised parturients. There are no guidelines regarding the indications and limitations of regional anesthesia procedures in these patients. Immunocompromised patients are now seen more commonly, and it is essential to adopt a multidisciplinary approach to their care while tailoring anesthetic plans to the individual. We present the case of a 37-year-old parturient who had a congenital immune deficiency and who developed aseptic meningitis after receiving spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery.     

Otosclerosis surgery: Assessment of patient comfort

ObjectivesTo evaluate operative comfort and stress in patients undergoing stapedotomy for otosclerosis under local versus general anesthesia.Material and methodsConsecutive otosclerosis patients managed over a 9-month period responded to 3 validated questionnaires to assess peri- and post-operative comfort: Glasgow Benefit Inventory, Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale and the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist Scale. These results and audiometric data were compared between local and general anesthesia groups.ResultsTwenty-one patients were included in the local anesthesia group and 7 in the general anesthesia group, after exclusion of patients with history of otosclerosis surgery. There was no significant inter-group difference on Glasgow Benefit Inventory (P = 0.38) or Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist Scale (P = 0.86). Perceived Stress Scale scores were higher in the general anesthesia group (P = 0.038). In total, 67% of patients reported no discomfort under local anesthesia, and 86% were ready to undergo the procedure under local anesthesia again. There were no significant differences in postoperative symptoms, or in air-bone gap ≤ 10 dB (local anesthesia 81%, general anesthesia 71%; P = 0.156).ConclusionsLocal anesthesia in otosclerosis surgery did not increase stress or postoperative symptoms compared to general anesthesia. Audiometric results were not affected by type of anesthesia.
