Objectives: This study aims to define and compare sensory phenotypes in cervical radiculopathy patients exhibiting neuropathic pain (NP) components with healthy volunteers using clinical examination and quantitative sensory test (QST) findings. Another aim of the study is to show whether symptomatic components of the pain detect questionnaire (PDQ) are correlated with the QST findings, which may help clinicians indicate patients with sensory abnormalities without the use of specialized tests.

Methods: Fifty-seven participants were included in the study, including patients with NP (n=20) and healthy volunteers (n=37). After obtaining the sociodemographic and clinical data of the participants, the PDQ was performed in patients with pain followed by QST analysis in all participants.

Results: Analyses between painful and non-painful extremities yielded no differences in all groups for QST (p>0.05). Sensory thresholds were found to be higher in the NP group compared to healthy volunteers, and the pain threshold test was found to be lower (p<0.05) in the intergroup analyses. The changes described were found in both painful and non-painful limbs. Pain with slight pressure was found to be correlated with the lower heat pain threshold values (R=-0.602, p=0.005).

Conclusion: Patients with NP were found to have lower thresholds for pain and higher sensory thresholds when compared to healthy volunteers. Moreover, pain with pressure component in PDQ was found to be associated with hyperalgesia in QST.

目的:本研究旨在通过临床检查和定量感觉测试(QST)结果,定义并比较表现神经性疼痛(NP)成分的颈神经根病患者与健康志愿者的感觉表型。该研究的另一个目的是显示疼痛检测问卷(PDQ)的症状成分是否与QST结果相关,这可能有助于临床医生在不使用专门测试的情况下指出感觉异常的患者。方法:纳入57例受试者,包括NP患者(n=20)和健康志愿者(n=37)。在获得参与者的社会人口学和临床资料后,对疼痛患者进行PDQ,然后对所有参与者进行QST分析。结果:疼痛肢与非疼痛肢的QST在两组间无差异(p>0.05)。NP组的感觉阈值高于健康志愿者,疼痛阈值测试低于健康志愿者(p结论:NP患者的疼痛阈值低于健康志愿者,感觉阈值高于健康志愿者。此外,PDQ中有压力成分的疼痛与QST中的痛觉过敏有关。

Objectives: Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal pain syndromes. Interventional treatments can be applied to patients who do not respond to conservative therapies. Intra-articular steroid injection and suprascapular nerve block are both short-acting and may sometimes be clinically inadequate. In this study, the answer to the question of whether pulse radiofrequency application to the suprascapular nerve provides additional benefit was investigated.

Methods: Patients who had shoulder pain and were injected between October 2016 and April 2018 were evaluated retrospectively. Totally 160 patients who underwent shoulder injections were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups: 114 patients who underwent shoulder intra-articular steroid injection and suprascapular nerve block, as Group 1 and 46 patients who underwent pulse radiofrequency to the suprascapular nerve, in addition to shoulder intra-articular steroid injection and suprascapular nerve block, as Group 2.

Results: There was no statistical difference between the groups in pre-intervention numerical rating scale (NRS) scores. One month after the intervention, NRS scores of Group 2 were significantly lower than Group 1. In both groups, 1 month after the intervention NRS scores were significantly lower than pre-intervention. The duration of pain relief for Group 2 was longer than Group 1. The satisfaction percentages of patients for Group 2 were higher than Group 1.

Conclusion: In addition to glenohumeral intra-articular steroid injection and suprascapular nerve block, pulse radiofrequency application to the suprascapular nerve provides additional benefits in terms of NRS scores, duration of pain relief, and patient satisfaction.

目的:肩痛是最常见的肌肉骨骼疼痛综合征之一。对于保守疗法无效的患者,可采用介入性治疗。关节内类固醇注射和肩胛上神经阻滞都是短效的,有时在临床上可能不充分。在这项研究中,对脉冲射频应用于肩胛上神经是否提供额外的好处的问题的答案进行了调查。方法:回顾性分析2016年10月至2018年4月期间肩部疼痛并注射的患者。总共有160名接受肩部注射的患者被纳入研究。将患者分为两组:114例患者接受肩关节内类固醇注射和肩胛上神经阻滞为1组,46例患者接受肩胛上神经脉冲射频治疗,肩关节内类固醇注射和肩胛上神经阻滞为2组。结果:两组干预前数值评定量表(NRS)评分差异无统计学意义。干预1个月后,2组NRS评分显著低于1组。两组干预后1个月NRS评分均显著低于干预前。2组疼痛缓解时间明显长于1组。2组患者满意率高于1组。结论:除了肩关节内类固醇注射和肩胛上神经阻滞外,脉冲射频应用于肩胛上神经在NRS评分、疼痛缓解持续时间和患者满意度方面提供了额外的好处。

After the brachial plexus blocks, local anesthetics do not diffuse under the clavicle and can spread to the epidural space with a cephalic tendency. We aimed to show how the local anesthetic spread will be according to the integrity of the clavicle by adding contrast agent to the peripheral blocks. We observed that the barrier created by the clavicle at the neck-shoulder junction disappeared in fracture >2 cm and the drug distribution showed a caudal transition. We think that the type and degree of clavicle fracture changes the drug diffusion and affects the success of the block.

臂丛阻滞后,局部麻醉剂不能在锁骨下扩散,可扩散到硬膜外腔,呈头侧倾向。我们的目的是通过向周围阻滞添加造影剂来显示局部麻醉如何根据锁骨的完整性进行扩散。我们观察到锁骨在颈肩交界处形成的屏障在骨折>2 cm时消失,药物分布呈尾侧过渡。我们认为锁骨骨折的类型和程度改变了药物的扩散,影响了阻滞的成功。

The superior cluneal nerve (SCN) is a sensory nerve known to be originated from the dorsal rami of the lower thoracic and lumbar nerve roots. One of the overlooked causes of low back pain (LBP) is the SCN Entrapment Neuropathy (SCNEN). SCNEN may also be associated with SCN stretching due to lumbar movement and the poor body posture through an increase in the paravertebral muscle tonus. A 59-year-old female patient presented with chronic LBP localized on the right iliac crest and radiating to the right buttock, groin, and leg. She had increased lumbar lordosis and anterior pelvic tilt. She had a tender point over the right iliac crest, and the pain was radiating to the buttock and posterolateral thigh (Tinel sign +). She was diagnosed with lower crossed syndrome and SCNEN, and a therapeutic nerve block was performed. Clinicians should consider SCNEN as a possible diagnosis of LBP.

臀上神经(SCN)是一种感觉神经,起源于下胸神经根和腰神经根的背支。腰痛(LBP)的一个被忽视的原因是SCN卡压神经病(SCNEN)。SCNEN也可能与腰椎运动和身体姿势不良导致的SCN拉伸有关,通过增加椎旁肌张力。一位59岁的女性患者表现为慢性腰痛,位于右髂嵴,并放射到右臀部、腹股沟和腿部。她腰椎前凸加重,骨盆前倾。右髂嵴上方有压痛点,疼痛放射至臀部和大腿后外侧(Tinel征+)。她被诊断为下交叉综合征和SCNEN,并进行了治疗性神经阻滞。临床医生应考虑SCNEN作为LBP的可能诊断。

Objectives: Psychiatric disorders including somatization impact pain severity and chronicity. This study aimed to determine sleep quality and the presence of psychiatric disorders in patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis (LE) and to investigate the effect of these comorbidities on pain levels.

Methods: This study included 46 patients diagnosed with chronic LE and 46 healthy controls. Visual analog scale (VAS) was used for the assessment of pain intensity. The prevalence of depression and other psychological factors was examined using Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised test (SCL-90-R). Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to evaluate sleep quality.

Results: The mean BDI (p<0.001), all subdivisions of SCL-90-R including somatization (p<0.001), and the mean global PSQI scores (p=0.002) were found to be significantly higher in patients with chronic LE than those in the control group. The presence of depression according to BDI was 41.3% in the patient group. About 60.8% of the patients had somatization and 71.7% had poor sleep quality. VAS scores were significantly higher in the patients with depression, somatization, and low sleep quality indicating a low positive linear relationship (r=0.357, r=0.360, and r=0.463, respectively, and all p<0.05).

Conclusion: Psychiatric disorders and poor sleep quality are frequently observed in patients with chronic LE. These comorbidities negatively affect pain levels and may be linked to pain chronicity. Therefore, the potential coexistence of psychiatric disorders should be kept in mind when determining the treatment protocols for patients with chronic LE and adjunctive treatment should be given if necessary.

目的:躯体化等精神疾病影响疼痛的严重程度和慢性程度。本研究旨在确定慢性外上髁炎(LE)患者的睡眠质量和精神障碍的存在,并探讨这些合并症对疼痛水平的影响。方法:本研究纳入46例诊断为慢性LE的患者和46例健康对照。采用视觉模拟量表(VAS)评估疼痛强度。采用贝克抑郁量表(BDI)和症状自评量表(SCL-90-R)检查抑郁的发生率及其他心理因素。采用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)评价睡眠质量。结论:慢性LE患者常伴有精神障碍和睡眠质量差。这些合并症对疼痛水平有负面影响,并可能与疼痛的慢性性有关。因此,在确定慢性LE患者的治疗方案时,应考虑到精神疾病的潜在共存,必要时应给予辅助治疗。

Objectives: This study aims to determine the validity and reliability of the full cup test (FCT), evaluating the pain severity in patients with chronic low back pain.

Methods: A total of 100 patients (70 women and 30 men) aged over 18 years with mechanical low back pain were enrolled in the study. Demographic and clinical characteristics were recorded. Pain severity was evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) and FCT, the functional state was assessed by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and the quality of life was assessed using the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). FCT was performed on the 1st day by two independent observers (G1 and G2) and 3 days after the first application, patients were readministered the FCT by G1.

Results: The mean age of participants was 56.04±12.33 years and mean body mass index was 27.7±4.3 kg/m². The reliability of the FCT and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was found to be 0.989 for intrarater compliance, ICC was found to be 0.984 for inter-rater compliance, and Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was α=0.994. External construct validity of the scale was confirmed with expected correlations with all subgroups of NHP except for social isolation, VAS and ODI (p<0.01).

Conclusion: This study concludes that the FCT provides a reliable and valid instrument for measuring pain severity and loss of the function in patients with chronic mechanical back pain. We consider that FCT is a simple and easy test in patients with low education and advanced age.

目的:本研究旨在确定全杯试验(FCT)的效度和信度,评估慢性腰痛患者的疼痛严重程度。方法:共纳入100例18岁以上机械性腰痛患者(女性70例,男性30例)。记录人口学和临床特征。采用视觉模拟量表(VAS)和FCT评估疼痛严重程度,采用Oswestry残疾指数(ODI)评估功能状态,采用Nottingham Health Profile (NHP)评估生活质量。第1天由两名独立观察员(G1和G2)进行FCT,第一次应用后3天,患者按G1重新给予FCT。结果:参与者平均年龄56.04±12.33岁,平均体重指数27.7±4.3 kg/m²。内部依从性的FCT信度为0.989,内部依从性的ICC信度为0.984,Cronbach′s α信度系数为α=0.994。除了社会隔离、VAS和ODI外,该量表的外部结构效度与NHP的所有亚组均有预期的相关性(pp结论:本研究认为FCT为测量慢性机械性背痛患者的疼痛严重程度和功能丧失提供了一种可靠有效的工具。我们认为FCT是一种简单易行的检测方法,适用于受教育程度低、年龄大的患者。

Peripheral neuropathy secondary to entrapment of the nerves is not an uncommon etiology. Nerve entrapment is a common occurrence following trauma or surgery and poses significant diagnostic challenge. Entrapment neuropathy (EN) may not respond to standard neuropathic medication and may need invasive treatment. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) application is a recent modality and is gaining popularity for many EN as it does not cause neural ablation unlike conventional radiofrequency ablation. In this report, we present a case of young patient who presented with severe lower lateral leg pain in whom superficial peroneal nerve (SPN) EN was suspected and diagnostic SPN injection under ultrasound guidance confirmed the diagnosis. He subsequently underwent PRF neuromodulation and experienced long-lasting pain relief.

继发于神经卡压的周围神经病变并不是罕见的病因。神经卡压是创伤或手术后常见的情况,并提出了重大的诊断挑战。卡压神经病(EN)可能对标准的神经病药物无效,可能需要侵入性治疗。脉冲射频(PRF)应用是最近的一种方式,并且在许多EN中越来越受欢迎,因为它不像传统的射频消融那样引起神经消融。在本报告中,我们报告了一例年轻患者,其表现为严重的下肢外侧疼痛,怀疑腓浅神经(SPN) EN,超声引导下诊断性SPN注射证实了诊断。随后,他接受了PRF神经调节,并经历了持久的疼痛缓解。

Objectives: Patients suffer notable levels of pain after lumbar spine surgery. The primary objective of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) on 24-h post-operative pain score of patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery. Cumulative opioid consumption and intraoperative bleeding were assessed as well.

Methods: Adult patient candidates for elective lumbar spine surgery were randomly assigned to case (ESPB) and control (no ESPB) groups. The block was performed under ultrasound guidance in prone position after induction of general anesthesia. Both groups received the same anesthesia medication and technique. Post-operative pain score, number of patients requiring rescue analgesia (meperidine), total amount of post-operative rescue analgesic demand in the first 24 h, and intraoperative bleeding were recorded. To compare pain score variable in time span, the ANOVA repeated measure test was used. All the statistical tests were two tailed and p<0.05 considered as statistically significant.

Results: In all time intervals, pain score in case group was significantly lower than control group. In case group, eight patients demanded rescue analgesic (40%) which was significantly lower than that in control group (15 patients [75%]) (p=0.025). Total amount of meperidine consumption was 57.50±45.95 in control group and 22.50±32.34 in case group (p=0.01) which was higher in control group and statistically significant.

Conclusion: ESPB reduces post-operative pain score and opioid consumption, while it does not affect intraoperative bleeding in lumbar spine surgery.

目的:腰椎手术后患者疼痛程度显著。本随机临床试验的主要目的是探讨竖脊肌平面阻滞(ESPB)对腰椎手术患者术后24小时疼痛评分的影响。同时评估阿片类药物累积用量和术中出血。方法:选择腰椎择期手术的成年患者随机分为病例组(ESPB)和对照组(无ESPB)。全麻诱导后,在超声引导下俯卧位进行阻滞。两组均采用相同的麻醉药物和麻醉技术。记录两组患者术后疼痛评分、需抢救镇痛(哌哌啶)患者人数、术后24 h抢救镇痛总需求量及术中出血量。比较疼痛评分变量在时间跨度上的差异,采用方差分析重复测量检验。结果:病例组疼痛评分在所有时间间隔内均显著低于对照组。病例组有8例(40%)患者需要抢救性镇痛,显著低于对照组(15例[75%])(p=0.025)。对照组用药总用量为57.50±45.95,病例组为22.50±32.34 (p=0.01),对照组高于对照组,差异有统计学意义。结论:ESPB可降低腰椎手术患者术后疼痛评分和阿片类药物消耗,但对术中出血无影响。

High-energy chest wall traumas usually lead to multiple rib fractures associated with high morbidity and mortality. Pulmonary morbidity in patients with multiple rib fractures results from the impaired gas exchange from the pulmonary contusion areas and compromised breathing mechanics as a result of severe pain. Thus, analgesia plays a key role in the management of rib fractures. Erector spinae plane (ESP) block is a newly described technique and it has come into use in emergency departments for posterior rib fractures. ESP blocks can be administered in patients under anticoagulant therapy in the intensive care unit because the relevant area is located relatively superficial and far from the major vascular structures. In this report, anecdotal records of three patients with multiple rib fractures who had real benefits from ESP blocks are presented. This report highlights the bilateral extent of the sensory block after unilateral injection, the effect of ESP blocks on weaning from mechanical ventila-tion, and dramatic improvement in arterial blood gases analysis following ESP catheter insertion.

高能胸壁创伤通常导致多发肋骨骨折,发病率和死亡率高。多发肋骨骨折患者的肺部发病是由于肺挫伤区域的气体交换受损以及剧烈疼痛导致的呼吸力学受损。因此,镇痛在肋骨骨折的治疗中起着关键作用。竖脊平面(ESP)阻滞是一种新出现的技术,已在急诊科用于治疗后肋骨骨折。在重症监护病房接受抗凝治疗的患者可以使用ESP阻滞,因为相关区域位于相对浅表且远离主要血管结构。在这篇报道中,我们介绍了3例多处肋骨骨折患者的轶事记录,他们从ESP阻滞中获得了真正的好处。本报告强调了单侧注射后感觉阻滞的双侧程度,ESP阻滞对机械通气脱机的影响,以及插入ESP导管后动脉血气分析的显着改善。
