Article Synopsis
- - This study highlighted the absence of guidelines for ketamine use in chronic pain in Europe, prompting a Delphi survey among experts to create a national consensus.
- - The survey involved 28 specialists and found that 81.3% of the items achieved consensus, emphasizing ketamine's effectiveness primarily for neuropathic pain and a preferred administration method via intravenous infusion.
- - The final conclusions support quarterly ketamine treatments in a hospital setting, a one-month effectiveness evaluation, and the recommendation to combine ketamine use with non-drug therapies.
Background: Since the development and publication of diagnostic criteria for pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE) syndrome in 2008, no comprehensive work has been published on the clinical knowledge in the management of this condition. The aim of this work was to develop recommendations on the diagnosis and the management of PNE.
Methods: The methodology of this study was based on French High Authority for Health Method for the development of good practice and the literature review was based on the PRISMA method.
Aims: Thirty percent of patients with pudendal neuralgia due to pudendal nerve entrapment obtain little or no relief from nerve decompression surgery. The objective was to describe the efficacy of spinal cord stimulation of the conus medullaris in patients with refractory pudendal neuralgia.
Methods: This prospective study, conducted by two centers in the same university city, described the results obtained on perineal pain and functional disability in all patients with an implanted conus medullaris stimulation electrode for the treatment of refractory pudendal neuralgia.
Background: Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a common, debilitating complication of herpes zoster that has a major impact on patients' quality of life. PHN prevalence increases with advancing age. One treatment option is the topical analgesic 5% lidocaine (lignocaine) medicated plaster (Versatis®), which has been proven to be efficacious and well tolerated in a number of randomized clinical studies.
