Effect of Remifentanil on the Tpeak-Tend Interval During Electroconvulsive Therapy.

Introduction: QT interval dispersion, which reflects the regional heterogeneity of ventricular repolarization, increases during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Tpeak-Tend (TpTe) is considered a new marker of the transmural dispersion of ventricular repolarization (TDR). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of remifentanil on TpTe during ECT.

Facial onset sensory and motor neuropathy in a pain clinic outpatient: a case report.

Background: Facial onset sensory and motor neuropathy is a very rare sensorimotor disorder characterized by facial onset and gradual progression, with approximately 100 cases reported worldwide in 2020. We report on our experience with a facial onset sensory and motor neuropathy case in our outpatient pain clinic.

Case Presentation: A 71-year-old Japanese man with a previous diagnosis of trigeminal nerve palsy complained of facial paresthesia, cervical pain, and arm numbness.
