Perineural Dexmedetomidine Added to Ropivacaine for Sciatic Nerve Block in Rats Prolongs the Duration of Analgesia by Blocking the Hyperpolarization-activated Cation Current

TL;DR: In this article, the authors test the hypothesis that the increased duration of analgesia caused by adding dexmedetomidine to local anesthetic results from blockade of the hyperpolarization-activated cation (Ih)current.
Journal ArticleDOI

Survey criteria for fibromyalgia independently predict increased postoperative opioid consumption after lower-extremity joint arthroplasty: a prospective, observational cohort study.

TL;DR: The use of the survey criteria for fibromyalgia led to the finding of distinct phenotypic differences, and the measure was independently predictive of opioid consumption, which may provide an additional simple means of predicting postoperative pain outcomes and analgesic requirements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fibromyalgia survey criteria are associated with increased postoperative opioid consumption in women undergoing hysterectomy.

TL;DR: Increased fibromyalgia survey scores were predictive of postoperative opioid consumption in the posthysterectomy surgical population during their hospital stay, and data suggest that patients with Fibromyalgia-like characteristics may require a tailored perioperative analgesic regimen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perineural dexmedetomidine provides an increased duration of analgesia to a thermal stimulus when compared with a systemic control in a rat sciatic nerve block.

TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that perineural dexmedetomidine provides a longer duration of analgesia than the same dose given subcutaneously in a peripheral nerve block in rats found it to be a peripherally mediated effect.
