Acute Pain Management: Scientific Evidence
TL;DR: The fourth edition of Acute Pain Management: Scientific Evidence as discussed by the authors summarizes the evidence available to assist health professionals in the management of acute pain and provides a summary of clinical experience or expert opinion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term impact of neonatal intensive care and surgery on somatosensory perception in children born extremely preterm
Suellen M. Walker,Linda S. Franck,Maria Fitzgerald,Jonathan P. Myles,Janet Stocks,Neil Marlow +5 more
TL;DR: Reductions in mechanical and thermal sensitivity adjacent to scars may be related to localized tissue injury, whereas generalized decreases in thermal sensitivity but not in mechanical sensitivity suggest centrally mediated alterations in the modulation of C‐fibre nociceptor pathways, which may impact on responses to future pain or surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infant pain management: a developmental neurobiological approach
TL;DR: It is shown how the application of neurophysiological and neuropharmacological approaches can help to overcome the problems inherent in measuring and treating pain in infants, and how research data in these areas can be used to devise age-appropriate methods of assessing pain as well as strategies for pain relief.
Journal ArticleDOI
The efficacy of intrathecal morphine and clonidine in the treatment of pain after spinal cord injury.
Philip J. Siddall,Allan R. Molloy,Suellen M. Walker,Laurence E. Mather,S.B. Rutkowski,Michael J. Cousins +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that intrathecal administration of a mixture of clonidine and morphine is more effective than either drug administered alone and is related to the CSF-borne drug concentration above the level of spinal cord injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Priming of adult pain responses by neonatal pain experience: maintenance by central neuroimmune activity
TL;DR: The enhanced neuroimmune response seen in neonatally primed animals could also be demonstrated in the absence of peripheral tissue injury by direct electrical stimulation of tibial nerve fibres, confirming that centrally mediated mechanisms contribute to these long-term effects.
