Journal ArticleDOI

Management of postoperative pain: A clinical practice guideline from the american pain society, the american society of regional anesthesia and pain medicine, and the american society of anesthesiologists' committee on regional anesthesia, executive committee, and administrative council.

TL;DR: The American Pain Society, with input from the American Society of Anesthesiologists, developed a clinical practice guideline to promote evidence-based, effective, and safer postoperative pain management in children and adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation: Basic science mechanisms and clinical effectiveness

TL;DR: TENS is a noninvasive modality that is easy to apply with relatively few contraindications, however, the clinical efficacy of TENS will remain equivocal until the publication of sufficient numbers of high quality, randomized, controlled clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

The DRASIC Cation Channel Contributes to the Detection of Cutaneous Touch and Acid Stimuli in Mice

TL;DR: The data suggest that DRASic subunits participate in heteromultimeric channel complexes in sensory neurons, and in different cellular contexts, DRASIC may respond to mechanical stimuli or to low pH to mediate normal touch and pain sensation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unilateral intramuscular injections of acidic saline produce a bilateral, long-lasting hyperalgesia

TL;DR: This new model of widespread, chronic muscle‐induced pain is unrelated to tissue damage and is not maintained by continued primary afferent input from the site of injury.
