Conditions which feature recurrent or persistent facial pain as the primary manifestation of disease are referred to as FACIAL PAIN SYNDROMES.Pancreatitis, Chronic: INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS that is characterized by recurring or persistent ABDOMINAL PAIN with or without STEATORRHEA or DIABETES MELLITUS. It is characterized by the irregular destruction of the pancreatic parenchyma which may be focal, segmental, or diffuse.Pelvic Pain: Pain in the pelvic region of genital and non-genital origin and of organic or psychogenic etiology. Frequent causes of pain are distension or contraction of hollow viscera, rapid stretching of the capsule of a solid organ, chemical irritation, tissue ischemia, and neuritis secondary to inflammatory, neoplastic, or fibrotic processes in adjacent organs. (Kase, Weingold & Gershenson: Principles and Practice of Clinical Gynecology, 2d ed, pp479-508)Naloxone: A specific opiate antagonist that has no agonist activity.

In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions.They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.Maternal Deprivation: Prolonged separation of the offspring from the mother.Anesthetics, Local: Drugs that block nerve conduction when applied locally to nerve tissue in appropriate concentrations. They act on any part of the nervous system and on every type of nerve fiber. In contact with a nerve trunk, these anesthetics can cause both sensory and motor paralysis in the innervated area. Their action is completely reversible. (From Gilman AG, et. al., Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed) Nearly all local anesthetics act by reducing the tendency of voltage-dependent sodium channels to activate.Dextropropoxyphene: A narcotic analgesic structurally related to METHADONE. Only the dextro-isomer has an analgesic effect; the levo-isomer appears to exert an antitussive effect.Receptor, PAR-2: A G-protein-coupled, proteinase-activated receptor that is expressed in a variety of tissues including ENDOTHELIUM; LEUKOCYTES; and the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT. The receptor is activated by TRYPSIN, which cleaves off the N-terminal peptide from the receptor. The new N-terminal peptide is a cryptic ligand for the receptor. The uncleaved receptor can also be activated by the N-terminal peptide present on the activated THROMBIN RECEPTOR and by small synthetic peptides that contain the unmasked N-terminal sequence.Drug Tolerance: Progressive diminution of the susceptibility of a human or animal to the effects of a drug, resulting from its continued administration. It should be differentiated from DRUG RESISTANCE wherein an organism, disease, or tissue fails to respond to the intended effectiveness of a chemical or drug. It should also be differentiated from MAXIMUM TOLERATED DOSE and NO-OBSERVED-ADVERSE-EFFECT LEVEL.Colitis: Inflammation of the COLON section of the large intestine (INTESTINE, LARGE), usually with symptoms such as DIARRHEA (often with blood and mucus), ABDOMINAL PAIN, and FEVER.Neurons, Afferent: Neurons which conduct NERVE IMPULSES to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.Time Factors: Elements of limited time intervals, contributing to particular results or situations.Codeine: An opioid analgesic related to MORPHINE but with less potent analgesic properties and mild sedative effects. It also acts centrally to suppress cough.Ganglia, Spinal: Sensory ganglia located on the dorsal spinal roots within the vertebral column. The spinal ganglion cells are pseudounipolar. The single primary branch bifurcates sending a peripheral process to carry sensory information from the periphery and a central branch which relays that information to the spinal cord or brain.Fentanyl: A potent narcotic analgesic, abuse of which leads to habituation or addiction. It is primarily a mu-opioid agonist. Fentanyl is also used as an adjunct to general anesthetics, and as an anesthetic for induction and maintenance. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1078)Oxycodone: A semisynthetic derivative of CODEINE.Electromyography: Recording of the changes in electric potential of muscle by means of surface or needle electrodes.Double-Blind Method: A method of studying a drug or procedure in which both the subjects and investigators are kept unaware of who is actually getting which specific treatment.Receptors, N-Methyl-D-Aspartate: A class of ionotropic glutamate receptors characterized by affinity for N-methyl-D-aspartate. NMDA receptors have an allosteric binding site for glycine which must be occupied for the channel to open efficiently and a site within the channel itself to which magnesium ions bind in a voltage-dependent manner. The positive voltage dependence of channel conductance and the high permeability of the conducting channel to calcium ions (as well as to monovalent cations) are important in excitotoxicity and neuronal plasticity.Meperidine: A narcotic analgesic that can be used for the relief of most types of moderate to severe pain, including postoperative pain and the pain of labor. Prolonged use may lead to dependence of the morphine type; withdrawal symptoms appear more rapidly than with morphine and are of shorter duration.Bupivacaine: A widely used local anesthetic agent.Analgesia, Epidural: The relief of pain without loss of consciousness through the introduction of an analgesic agent into the epidural space of the vertebral canal. It is differentiated from ANESTHESIA, EPIDURAL which refers to the state of insensitivity to sensation.Rats, Wistar: A strain of albino rat developed at the Wistar Institute that has spread widely at other institutions. This has markedly diluted the original strain.

- Outcomes included change in IBS symptom severity score, Hospital anxiety and depression scale and diary-derived symptom scores (diarrhea, pain, urgency) post-treatment compared with baseline. (alliedacademies.org)
Treatment1
- This pain is often similar to pain from organic dental disease such as periapical periodontitis, or pulpitis (toothache), but unlike normal dental pain, it is not relieved in the long term by dental treatments such as endodontic therapy (root canal treatment) or tooth extraction, and it may even be worsened, return soon after, or simply migrate to other areas in the mouth following dental treatment. (wikipedia.org)
Response2
- The main features of AFP are: no objective signs, negative results with all investigations/ tests, no obvious explanation for the cause of the pain, and a poor response to attempted treatments. (wikipedia.org)
- Over time the pain may migrate, spontaneously or as a response to interventions, to other sites, or slowly expand. (wikipedia.org)
Involves1
- Generally, the term AO may be used where the pain is confined to the teeth or gums, and AFP when the pain involves other parts of the face. (wikipedia.org)

- Disorders of the somatosensory system such as neuropathic pain are common in people with chronic neurologic and musculoskeletal diseases, yet these conditions remain an underappreciated morbidity in veterinary patients. (frontiersin.org)
- This is likely because assessment of neuropathic pain in people relies heavily on self-reporting, something our veterinary patients are not able to do. (frontiersin.org)
- The development of neuropathic pain is a complex phenomenon, and concepts related to it are frequently not addressed in the standard veterinary medical curriculum such that veterinarians may not recognize this as a potential problem in patients. (frontiersin.org)
- The goals of this review are to discuss basic concepts in the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain, provide definitions for common clinical terms used in association with the condition, and discuss pharmacological treatment options for dogs with neuropathic pain. (frontiersin.org)
- The development of neuropathic pain involves key mechanisms such as ectopic afferent nerve activity, peripheral sensitization, central sensitization, impaired inhibitory modulation, and pathologic activation of microglia. (frontiersin.org)
- Treatments aimed at reducing neuropathic pain are targeted at one or more of these mechanisms. (frontiersin.org)
- Several drugs are commonly used in the veterinary clinical setting to treat neuropathic pain. (frontiersin.org)

Opioids20
- The recognition that use of opioids after painful injury may prevent chronic pain. (powershow.com)
- The narcotic analgesics, also termed opioids, are all derived from opium. (encyclopedia.com)
- Opioids continue to be the cornerstone of effective pain treatment in veterinary medicine. (merckvetmanual.com)
- The opioids are a diverse group of naturally occurring and synthetic drugs used primarily for their analgesic activity. (merckvetmanual.com)
- Despite some well-known adverse effects and disadvantages, opioids are the most effective analgesics available for the systemic treatment of acute pain in many species, particularly dogs and cats. (merckvetmanual.com)
- Opioids combine reversibly with these receptors and alter the transmission and perception of pain. (merckvetmanual.com)
- The clinical effect of an opioid depends on additional patient factors, including the presence or absence of pain, health status of the animal, concurrent drugs administered (eg, tranquilizers), and individual sensitivity to opioids. (merckvetmanual.com)
- Pain wind up is the phenomenon where patients require increasing doses of opioids over a short period of time or have rapidly increasing cancer pain scores over a short period of time (pain score example: 0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain ever felt). (healthengine.com.au)
- Pain wind up is a type of opioid insensitive pain - opioids will not relieve pain wind up. (healthengine.com.au)
- Poorly controlled cancer pain and adverse effects of some pain medications such as opioids, can contribute to depression, suicidal thoughts or requests for aid in dying. (healthengine.com.au)
- Indeed, long-acting opioids have been shown to improve the quality of life in patients with chronic pain of both cancer and noncancer etiology. (cpmission.com)
- 12,Opioids act by blocking the repeated transmission of pain signals and the resulting neural remodeling underlying the pathophysiology of chronic pain (discussed in detail below). (cpmission.com)
- Although the appropriate use of opioids can lead to effective control of chronic pain, including breakthrough pain, these drugs do not wholly eliminate the pain. (cpmission.com)
- Opioids are administered with the aim of easing or reducing pain and suffering while improving physical and mental functioning. (cpmission.com)
- Opioids are the strongest pain relievers available, but because of their potential for abuse, they are classified as scheduled drugs by the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. (cpmission.com)
- The continued stigmatization of opioids and their prescription, coupled with often unfounded and self-imposed physician fear of dealing with the highly regulated distribution system for opioid analgesics, remains a barrier to effective pain management and must be addressed. (cpmission.com)
- Despite their introduction over five millennia ago, opioids remain the most common therapeutic treatment for the management of chronic pain [ 10 , 11 ]. (nature.com)
- Of course, there is an option to use opioids, but that can also lead to long term consequences like opioid-induced hyperalgesia and more pain. (healthcentral.com)
- Because of the patient's worsening pain, treatment with opioids and neuropathic adjuvants was started. (cmaj.ca)
- For this reason, in addition to NSAIDs [nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs] and opioids, multiple adjuvant analgesics with different mechanisms of action, such as anticonvulsants, antidepressants, anesthetics, and other neuropharmacologic agents, are commonly used. (pharmacytimes.com)
Nociception8
- Recent studies indicate that this mixture inhibits visceral nociception, as well as attenuating capsaicin-induced acute pain. (scielo.br)
- 5,6 The biological actions of flavonoids quercitrin ( 3 ) and isoquercetin ( 4 ) are well-documented, and some studies conducted at our laboratories have shown analgesic effects in distinct animal models of nociception. (scielo.br)
- In mice, visceral nociception was assessed by neuronal activation within the spinal cord in response to noxious colorectal distension (CRD). (bmj.com)
- TT-232 (80 microg/kg i.p.) inhibited both early (0-5 min) and late phases (25-45 min) of formalin-induced nociception as revealed by determination of the composite pain score. (nih.gov)
- These findings show that TT-232 potently inhibits acute chemical somatic/visceral and thermal nociception and diminishes chronic mechanical allodynia associated with diabetic neuropathy, thereby it could open new perspectives in the treatment of various pain syndromes. (nih.gov)
- The gut microbiota dramatically impacts normal visceral pain sensation and affects the mechanisms mediating visceral nociception. (springer.com)
- We aimed to develop a reproducible methodology to study visceral nociception in human tissue that could aid future target identification and drug evaluation. (bmj.com)
- Conclusions Functionally distinct subpopulations of human visceral afferents can be demonstrated and could provide a platform technology to further study nociception in human tissue. (bmj.com)
Analgesia13
- The purpose of this randomized blinded placebo controlled study is to compare pre-emptive analgesia vs non-preemptive analgesia for immediate postoperative pain control, long term pain control, and improved quality of life in woman following uterine artery embolization surgery. (clinicaltrials.gov)
- The addition of pregabalin and celecoxib together with epidural analgesia may improve pain management as well as leading to a better post-procedure outcome in women following uterine artery embolization. (clinicaltrials.gov)
- In addition to being an effective analgesic for chronic pain syndromes, the use of pregabalin provides effective postoperative analgesia when it is administered pre-emptively before an operation. (clinicaltrials.gov)
- Preemptive analgesia involves the introduction of an analgesic regimen before the onset of noxious stimuli, with the goal of preventing sensitization of the nervous system to subsequent stimuli that could amplify pain. (clinicaltrials.gov)
- Therefore, the addition of pregabalin and celecoxib together with epidural analgesia may improve pain management as well as having an effect on long term sequelae. (clinicaltrials.gov)
- The analgesia is limited to the body regions innervated by the spinal segments where analgesic concentrations of clonidine are present. (drugs.com)
- Clonidine is thought to produce analgesia at presynaptic and postjunctional alpha-2-adrenoceptors in the spinal cord by preventing pain signal transmission to the brain. (drugs.com)
- Step 2 treats patients experiencing mild to moderate pain who are already taking a nonopioid analgesic, with or without an adjuvant analgesic, but who are still experiencing poor analgesia. (adventisthealthcare.com)
