Purpose Of Review: Regenerative modalities have been identified in numerous clinical studies as beneficial in various settings. The focus of this review is to summarize key studies and current concepts for the role of regenerative medicine in the treatment of neuraxial back pain.
Recent Findings: Recent studies have demonstrated the benefit of regenerative therapies for the treatment of neuraxial back pain. A literature review of clinical trials published between 2015 and 2017 was performed using OVID, PubMed, and Google Scholar to identify investigations attempting to determine the efficacy of various regenerative modalities on two primary sources of low back pain: facet arthropathy and degenerative disc disease. The seven articles analyzed in this systematic review present promising data regarding the use of these autologous biologic treatments, but many of these investigations have several limitations in common including small sample size. Regenerative medicine has been shown to demonstrate efficacy in the treatment of neuraxial back pain. As the field advances, new studies are needed comparing efficacy and safety profiles to better determine best practice techniques and standards in the future.

Oxytocin versus carbetocin at elective Cesarean delivery in parturients with class III obesity: a double-blind randomized controlled noninferiority trial.

Purpose: Class III obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 40 kg·m) is associated with high rates of Cesarean deliveries and postpartum hemorrhage, with increased maternal and fetal morbidity. The doses of oxytocin and carbetocin are two to four times higher at Cesarean delivery in patients with class III obesity. We sought to investigate the efficacy of carbetocin 80 µg iv compared with oxytocin 1 IU iv (plus infusion) at elective Cesarean delivery in parturients with class III obesity.

Introduction: Use of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is still in the focus of research, in which pigs are commonly involved. During VA-ECMO, cardiovascular parameters are artificially manipulated and therefore not reliable indicators of nociception. Nociceptive withdrawal reflex (NWR) thresholds can be a suitable alternative in such a context.

The neuraxial delivery of drugs for the management of pain and other spinal pathologies is widely employed and is the subject of a large volume of ongoing research with several thousand papers appearing in the past 5 years alone on neuraxial delivery. Several learned texts have been recently published. A number of considerations have contributed to this widespread interest in the development of the use of neuraxial therapeutics to manage pain.

Individuals with joint hypermobility and the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) are disproportionately affected by neuraxial dysfunction and Central Nervous System (CNS) disorders: such as Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension (SIH) due to spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, Upper Cervical Instability (UCI; including craniocervical or atlantoaxial instability (CCI/AAI)), Occult Tethered Cord Syndrome (TCS), Chiari Malformation (CM) and Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH). The neuraxis comprises the parts of the nervous system (brain, nerves, spinal cord) along the craniospinal axis of the body. Neuraxial tissue includes all tissue structures that comprise, support, sheath, and connect along the neuraxis and peripheral nerves.

Background: Racial and ethnic disparities in health care delivery can lead to inadequate peripartum pain management and associated adverse maternal outcomes. An epidural blood patch (EBP) is the definitive treatment for moderate to severe postdural puncture headache (PDPH), a potentially debilitating neuraxial anesthesia complication associated with significant maternal morbidity if undertreated. In this nationwide study, we examine the racial and ethnic disparities in the inpatient utilization of EBP after obstetric PDPH in the United States.
