Article Synopsis
- Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is often associated with significant pain, and this study explores hypnoanalgesia as a potential method to alleviate discomfort during the procedure.* -
- In a clinical trial with 12 patients averaging 74.6 years old, hypnoanalgesia was effective in reducing pain levels significantly, with an average pain score of 2.9/10 compared to 8.3/10 in previous treatments without hypnosis.* -
- The researchers suggest that hypnoanalgesia is a simple and cost-effective pain management technique that could improve patient experience during PDT, while also advocating for further training in this technique for healthcare professionals.*
Background: Endogenous endophthalmitis is a devastating infection of the eye that leads to blindness in about two-thirds of patients. It results from the haematogenous spread of a microorganism from a focus of sepsis, mainly gastro-intestinal, genitourinary or cardiac.
Patients And Methods: We describe the case of a diabetic subject presenting endogenous endophthalmitis following erysipelas of the leg due to Streptococcus agalactiae.
