Neuropathic pain relief and altered brain networks after dorsal root entry zone microcoagulation in patients with spinal cord injury.
Brain Commun
November 2024
Spaulding Neuroimaging Laboratory, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02129, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Spinal cord injury (SCI) below-level neuropathic pain is challenging to treat, but surgical lesions in the spinal cord’s dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) can target pain sources effectively.
- A study with eight patients showed significant improvement in pain relief after neuroelectrically guided DREZ microcoagulation surgery, with some experiencing long-term relief for over a year.
- Changes in brain connectivity were observed post-surgery, indicating that the procedure not only alleviated pain but also normalized brain function related to sensory and motor processing.
Evaluation of age-based local anaesthetic dosing of bupivacaine for popliteal sciatic nerve block in children undergoing foot and ankle surgery: A prospective single arm interventional study.
Indian J Anaesth
November 2023
Department of Anaesthesiology, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Karaikal, Pondicherry, India.
Background And Aims: Recommendations on paediatric single-injection local anaesthetic (LA) dosing for peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) are based on the children's weight and limited by weight-based toxicity concerns. In this study, we assessed the extent of circumferential spread and block characteristics following the injection of an age-based volume (age in years = LA volume) of 0.25% bupivacaine following popliteal sciatic nerve block (PSNB).

The dose selection for isobaric bupivacaine determines the success of spinal anesthesia (SA). A dose higher than the optimal dose causes high SA, whereas an underdose leads to inadequate spread of cephalad. As it involves anatomical and physiological alterations, the dosing should be reduced with advancing age and body mass index values.
