Ventilatory response to intractable pain
Pain, 1981Fifty-two patients, admitted to a pain relief unit, had a cannula placed in the radial artery to measure the paO2, paCO2 and pH of arterial blood every 2 h, for periods ranging from 12 to 24 h. The patients were divided into 3 groups: 14 had low back pain, 21 patients had pain from cancer, and 17 had pain from other causes. Twenty were male and 32 were

Thalamotomy for Alleviation of Intractable Pain
Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 197417 patients had thalamotomies for alleviation of pain due to malignancy since January, 1970. In 12 of them, thalamic electrodes were implanted through occipital burr holes for subsequent radiofrequency thalamotomies. In 4 cases, the lesions were made by the bifrontal approach and 1 case was approached from the left occipital and right frontal.

CelIuIar Transplantation for Intractable Pain
1997Publisher Summary Cellular transplantation may be a powerful approach for the alleviation of chronic pain. To study this, adrenal medullary chromaffin have been chosen as donor sources, because these cells produce and secrete catecholamines and opioid peptides, agents that reduce pain when administered directly into the spinal subarachnoid space and ...
