Introduction: Postoperative pain management after a cesarean section is essential to promote mother-infant bonding and ease of breastfeeding. Transdermal patches present a viable alternative to oral medications, offering controlled drug delivery and better bioavailability while avoiding first-pass metabolism, all of which can facilitate smoother recovery and rehabilitation.

Methods: This comparative, randomized, double-blind study was conducted on 70 parturients scheduled for cesarean section under spinal anesthesia, classified as ASA II.

Prolonged use of opioids can lead to increased sensitivity to painful stimuli, a condition referred to as opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH). However, the mechanisms underlying this contradictory situation remain unclear. This study elucidates the pivotal role of the paratenial thalamic nucleus (PT)-anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) neuronal circuit in the development of OIH in male rats.

We describe a rare case of bilateral globus pallidus lesions (BPL) and delayed hypoxic encephalopathy (DHE) induced by the overuse of transdermal fentanyl patches. The patient was a 54-year-old woman, who had a history of unexplained, intractable anal pain, for which several medications were prescribed, but with very limited effectiveness. Four days prior to admission, she was newly prescribed transdermal fentanyl patches at a dose of 4 mg/day.
