Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how a combination of herbal decoction and breast/acupoint massage affects breastfeeding in women who had cesarean sections.
- A total of 120 cesarean section women were divided into two groups: one received standard care, while the other received additional herbal treatment and massage for seven days.
- Results showed that the group receiving the combined treatment experienced earlier lactation onset, increased breast milk volume, reduced breast swelling and pain, and a higher breastfeeding success rate compared to the control group.
The present study was performed to explore the role of galanin and galanin receptor 1 (GalR 1) in nociceptive modulation in the central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) in normal rats and rats with neuropathy, and the involvement of GalR 1 and PKC was also investigated. The hindpaw withdrawal latencies (HWLs) to thermal and mechanical stimulations were increased in a dose-dependent manner after intra-CeA injection of galanin in both normal rats and rats with neuropathy. The increased HWLs were significantly attenuated by intra-CeA injection of galanin receptor antagonist M40, indicating an involvement of galanin receptor in nociceptive modulation in CeA.
