Introduction: Temporomandibular disorders are a collectiveterm for a range of clinical signs and symptoms involving the masticatory muscles, the temporomandibular joint, and associated structures. Treating patients with disorder temporomandibularshould involve a multidisciplinary team, and for effective intervention in dysfunction treatment, it is necessary for the involved professionals to work together and have a comprehensive understanding of stomatognathic functions. Objective: review the literature on therapeutic modalities for temporomandibular disorders and their effectiveness. Methodology:This is a study on the current landscape of therapies used for the treatment of temporomandibular disorders. To compose this work, the PubMed database was consulted using the keywords "temporomandibular disorder" and "therapy" associated with the boolean operator AND. Inclusion criteria were articles published in English from 2020 to 2024. The search yielded a total of 545 articles, from which articles deviating from the proposed theme, articles discussing techniques with little scientific basis, and articles not fully available were excluded. Results:Literature findings support the prioritization of conservative, reversible, and non-invasive treatment. Among the options, self-care guidance, occlusal splint fabrication, manual therapies, muscle exercises, biofeedback, and pharmacological management for somatic symptoms stand out. Botulinum toxin has been suggested for treatment in cases of muscular disordertemporomandibular, however, with low scientific evidence regarding adverse effects. Surgical techniques are indicated in cases where conservative therapies fail to resolve the issue. Conclusions:Despite the diversity in protocols, conservative treatment demonstrates resolution of the problem in most cases of disorder temporomandibular,and treatments combining multiple techniques show better results than isolated treatments (AU).

ABSTRACT

En la actualidad, la oferta de cuidados paliativos especializados ha sido superada por la demanda, por lo cual la atención a pacientes con enfermedades en estado terminal o en fase final de la vida suele estar a cargo del médico del nivel primario de asistencia. En ese sentido, los cuidados paliativos primarios incluyen el diagnóstico, el tratamiento paliativo, la planificación anticipada, la gestión y coordinación de intervenciones multidisciplinarias y la transferencia a cuidados especializados cuando sea necesario y haya disponibilidad para ello. Al respecto, en este artículo se exponen brevemente algunos elementos sobre el tema y se propone, además, un algoritmo práctico y fácil de aplicar en la atención primaria, que permitirá identificar a la población aquejada por dolencias en esas etapas, con diferenciación en cuanto a afecciones neoplásicas o no neoplásicas.


Nowadays, the offer of specialized palliative care has been overcome by the demand, reason why care to patients with terminal illness or in end-of-life period is usually in charge of the doctor from primary care level. In that sense, primary palliative care includes the diagnosis, palliative treatment, early planning, administration and coordination of multidisciplinary interventions and referring to specialized care when it is necessary and the service is available. In this respect, some elements on the topic are shortly exposed in this work and, also, a practical and easy implementation algorithm in primary care is proposed that will allow identifying population suffering from pain in those stages, with differentiation as for neoplastic or non neoplastic affections.

ABSTRACT

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifaceted joint disorder affecting various structures, including articular cartilage, peri-articular bone, synovial joint lining, and connective tissues. This degenerative condition manifests as joint pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and functional decline, impacting both dogs and humans globally. Risk factors include breed predispositions, joint diseases, higher body weight, and age. The current clinical approaches aim at symptom management and disease progression delay, with limited curative methods available. Nanoparticle (NPs)-based drug delivery systems, particularly curcumin liposomal formulations, show promise in OA treatment. Liposomes, lipid-based NPs, provide targeted drug distribution, extended-release, and enhanced retention in affected joints. Curcumin, a tetraterpenoid, exhibits anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Despite its efficacy, poor oral bioavailability led to the development of curcumin NPs to enhance therapeutic impact. Intra-articular administration of curcumin, especially in the form of curcumin monoglucuronide, addresses challenges associated with low hydrophilicity, demonstrating effectiveness in suppressing cartilage degeneration in OA. While non-encapsulated curcumin exhibits efficacy, its limited bioavailability prompts innovative approaches like curcumin NPs. The combination of curcumin with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or chondroprotective agents enhances anti-inflammatory effects, minimizing adverse reactions. Studies support curcumin’s multifaceted therapeutic potential, promoting chondrogenic differentiation and inhibiting inflammatory mediators. This comprehensive review provides insights into canine OA treatment, emphasizing curcumin liposomal formulations as a promising avenue for informed decision-making in veterinary practice.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: A dor lombar possui alta prevalência, sendo uma das principais causas de incapacidade no Brasil e no mundo. A dor lombar apresenta etiologia multifatorial, sendo extremamente comum em trabalhadores. OBJETIVOS: Verificar o conhecimento sobre os fatores de risco para dor lombar, crenças e atitudes sobre o manejo da dor lombar entre profissionais de saúde (fisioterapeutas e ergonomistas) atuantes na área ocupacional. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo observacional transversal com 81 profissionais de saúde ocupacional brasileiros. Os participantes preencheram um questionário eletrônico composto por dados profissionais, sociodemográficos, itens sobre fatores de risco para dor lombar e a Brazilian version of the Pain Attitudes and Beliefs Scale for Physiotherapists. Conhecimentos, crenças e atitudes foram analisados por meio do teste do qui-quadrado para fatores de risco para dor lombar e um modelo de regressão linear para crenças e atitudes dos profissionais de saúde. RESULTADOS: Obesidade (7,4%), ficar sentado mais de 2 horas (8,6%), atividade física (9,9%), falta de apoio psicossocial no trabalho (11,1%) e consumo de álcool (37,0%), apresentaram os menores índices de conhecimento sobre fatores de risco da dor lombar pelos profissionais. Itens sobre saúde geral apresentaram o menor conhecimento. Uma orientação biomédica e psicossocial equilibrada de crenças e atitudes sobre o manejo da dor lombar foi observada. CONCLUSÃO: Profissionais de saúde ocupacional brasileiros carecem de conhecimento sobre os fatores de risco não ocupacionais da dor lombar, especialmente o estado geral de saúde. Esses profissionais também possuem conceitos biomédicos e psicossociais equilibrados no manejo da dor lombar.


INTRODUCTION: Low back pain (LBP) is highly prevalent and is one of the main causes of disability in Brazil and around the world. LBP presents a multifactorial etiology, being extremely common in workers. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to verify the knowledge about the LBP risk factors, beliefs and attitudes about the management of LBP among health professionals (physiotherapists and ergonomists) working in the occupational area. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 81 Brazilian occupational health professionals. Participants completed an electronic questionnaire comprising professional data, sociodemographics, items about LBP risk factors, and the Brazilian version of the Pain Attitudes and Beliefs Scale for Physiotherapists. Knowledge, beliefs and attitudes were analyzed using the chi-square test for LBP risk factors and the linear regression model for health professionals' beliefs and attitudes. RESULTS: Obesity (7.4%), sitting for more than 2 hours (8.6%), physical activity (9.9%), lack of psychosocial support at work (11.1%) and consuming alcohol (37.0%) presented the lowest rate of knowledge about LBP risk factors by professionals. Items about general health showed the lowest knowledge. A balanced biomedical and psychosocial orientation of beliefs and attitudes about managing LBP was observed. CONCLUSION: Brazilian occupational health professionals lack knowledge about non-occupational LBP risk factors, especially general health status. These professionals also have balanced biomedical and psychosocial concepts in managing LBP.

ABSTRACT

Palliative care plays a role in meeting the needs of individuals facing life limiting illnesses. One of the aspects of this specialized healthcare approach is effectively managing pain. Understanding types of pain from nociceptive to neuropathic is essential in navigating the nature of pain within a palliative care setting. Nursing strategies for pain management adopt an approach that addresses sources and aspects of pain. Alongside medication management, including opioids and complementary medications, non-pharmacological interventions such as therapy, massage and music therapy are utilized. Continuous monitoring, collaboration, patient education and addressing dimensions are crucial elements in nursing strategies. Nurses also serve as advocates, in navigating considerations related to pain management while ensuring autonomy and shared decision making. This exploration highlights the multifaceted contributions that nurses make in managing pain. It underscores the importance of research, education and fostering an organizational culture. Efforts, like these play a role in improving the efficiency of nursing practices in the changing field of palliative care. To sum up nursing shines as a guiding light, in providing evidence-based care greatly enhancing the quality of life for individuals confronting illnesses with limited time.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN El dolor se define como una experiencia sensorial y emocional desagradable que se asocia con el daño. Es un fenómeno multifactorial y subjetivo que presenta una incidencia de hasta el 60 % en los pacientes críticos y que puede ocasionar consecuencias negativas a nivel cardiovascular, respiratorio, digestivo, muscular, hematológico y psicológico. El estándar de oro para la evaluación del dolor es el reporte del paciente, quien puede indicar la presencia de dolor respondiendo a la pregunta simple «¿Tenés/tiene dolor?¼ o expresar la intensidad mediante la escala numérica del dolor (NRS, por sus siglas en inglés). El paciente capaz de comunicarse puede brindar también información sobre otras características del dolor. En pacientes que no pueden comunicarse pero pueden manifestar respuesta a estímulos, es apropiado utilizar escalas conductuales, las cuales se basan en observar la presencia de comportamientos asociados al dolor. El objetivo del presente paso a paso es describir la evaluación del dolor en pacientes adultos críticos.


ABSTRACT Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with damage. It is a multifactorial and subjective phenomenon with an incidence of up to 60 % in critically ill patients, which may lead to negative consequences at cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, muscular, hematological, and psychological levels. The gold standard for pain assessment is the patient's report, who can indicate the presence of pain by answering the simple question «Do you have pain?¼ or express its intensity using the numeric pain rating scale (NRS). Patients who can communicate may also provide information regarding other characteristics of pain. In patients unable to communicate but capable of responding to stimuli, it is appropriate to use behavioral scales, which are based on observing the presence of behaviors associated with pain. The objective of this study is to describe the pain assessment in critically ill adult patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oliceridine for treatment of moderate to severe pain after surgery with general anesthesia in patients.Methods:The patients with moderate to severe pain (numeric pain rating scale ≥4) after abdominal surgery with general anesthesia from 14 hospitals between July 6, 2021 and November 9, 2021 were included in this study. The patients were assigned to either experiment group or control group using a random number table method. Experiment group received oliceridine, while control group received morphine, and both groups were treated with a loading dose plus patient-controlled analgesia and supplemental doses for 24 h. The primary efficacy endpoint was the drug response rate within 24 h after giving the loading dose. Secondary efficacy endpoints included early (within 1 h after giving the loading dose) drug response rates and use of rescue medication. Safety endpoints encompassed the development of respiratory depression and other adverse reactions during treatment.Results:After randomization, both the full analysis set and safety analysis set comprised 180 cases, with 92 in experiment group and 88 in control group. The per-protocol set included 170 cases, with 86 in experiment group and 84 in control group. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in 24-h drug response rates, rescue analgesia rates, respiratory depression, and incidence of other adverse reactions ( P>0.05). The analysis of full analysis set showed that the experiment group had a higher drug response rate at 5-30 min after giving the loading dose compared to control group ( P<0.05). The per-protocol set analysis indicated that experiment group had a higher drug response rate at 5-15 min after giving the loading dose than control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:When used for treatment of moderate to severe pain after surgery with general anesthesia in patients, oliceridine provides comparable analgesic efficacy to morphine, with a faster onset.

ABSTRACT

Improving the reproducibility of biomedical research results is a major challenge. Transparent and accurate reporting of the research process enables readers to evaluate the reliability of the research results and further explore the experiment by repeating it or building upon its findings. The ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines, released in 2019 by the UK National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs), provide a checklist that is applicable to any in vivo animal research report. These guidelines aim to improve the standardization of experimental design, implementation, and reporting, as well as enhance the reliability, repeatability, and clinical translation of animal experimental results. The use of the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines not only enriches the details of animal experimental research reports, ensuring that information on animal experimental results is fully evaluated and utilized, but also enables readers to understand the content expressed by the author accurately and clearly, promoting the transparency and completeness of the fundamental research review process. At present, the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines have been widely adopted by international biomedical journals. This article is based on the best practices following the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines in international journals, and it interprets, explains, and elaborates in Chinese the fifth part of the comprehensive version of the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines published in PLoS Biology in 2020 (the original text can be found at https://arriveguidelines.org). This section includes the items 6-11 of Recommended 11 section, covering "Animal Care and Monitoring", "Interpretation/Scientific Implications", "Generalisability/Translation", "Protocol Registration", "Data Access" and "Declaration of Interests". Its aim is to promote a comprehensive understanding and use of the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines among domestic researchers, to enhance the standardization of experimental animal research and reporting, and to promote high-quality development of experimental animal sciences and comparative medicine research in China.

ABSTRACT

Introduction@#Perioperative pain is a major problem for patients undergoing surgery. Inadequate pain relief can lead to complications like pneumonia, extended hospital stay, re-admissions and patient dissatisfaction. The aim of this research was to determine adequacy of perioperative pain management on immediate post-operative analgesia for elective Intra-abdominal procedures done under general anaesthesia.@*Method@#This is a retrospective study which involved auditing inpatient folders from the 1st of January to 31st of December, 2015.The inclusion criteria were those between the ages of 18 to 60years who had Elective Intra-abdominalprocedure done under general anesthesia.Each folder was audited for perioperative pain management from surgical and anaesthetic charts and data were entered into a proforma list. EpiInfo 3.1 software and Microsoft Excel Spreadsheetwere used for analysis of the extracted data.@*Results@#159 records met the inclusion criteria but only 127 folders were recovered. 28% of patients recorded pain in the immediate postoperative period. There were more females than males and Total Abdominal Hysterectomies was the most common procedure. The age between 31 to 40 years, reported the most pain. Open cholecystectomy’s procedures recorded the most pain complaints and hernia repairs had the least. Verbal response was the highest pain indicator used and 11% of patients who indicated having some pain went from PARU untreated. There were no records of usage of pain scales in any folder retrieved.@*Discussion@#Pain recording in the recovery unit was heavily dependent on the recovery nurse and the patient. The incidence of immediate postoperative pain from this study group was lower when compared to other studies. This could be due to a lack of documentation or a reflection on how well perioperative pain treatment has been done in Lautoka. @*Conclusion@#Overall management of perioperative pain still needs improvement. The anaesthetic team should seriously look at this problem as Anaesthetists are still unaware of their patients pain. It is highly recommend that the formulation of an Acute Pain Management Protocol for Fiji to ensure that Pain be included as the 5th vital sign.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Bone cancer metastasis may produce severe and refractory pain. It is often difficult to manage with systemic analgesics. Chemical neurolysis may be an effective alternative in terminally ill patients. Case report: Female terminally ill patient with hip metastasis of gastric cancer in severe pain. Neurolytic ultrasound-guided blocks of the pericapsular nerve group and obturator nerve were performed with 5% phenol. This led to satisfactory pain relief for 10 days, until the patient's death. Discussion: This approach may be effective and safe as an analgesic option for refractory hip pain due to metastasis or pathologic fracture in terminally ill patients.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Pain is the most common complaint reported to orthopedists in the outpatient clinic, emergency room, or booth. Numerous publications report the inadequate management of both acute and chronic pain by health professionals. This updated article aims to provide information about musculoskeletal pain, its classification, evaluation, diagnosis, and the multimodal therapeutic approach for each case. For acute pain, adequate control allows for earlier rehabilitation to work and reduces the rates of pain chronification. For chronic pain, the goal is to reduce its intensity and improve the quality of life. Currently, some procedures are increasingly used and aided by imaging tests for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.


Resumo A dor é a queixa mais comum recebida pelo ortopedista no ambulatório e/ou emergência. Inúmeras publicações relatam o manejo inadequado tanto da dor aguda quanto da dor crônica pelos profissionais da saúde. O objetivo desse artigo de atualização é trazer informações sobre a dor musculoesquelética, sua classificação, avaliação, diagnóstico e abordagem terapêutica multimodal para cada situação. Desta maneira, nas dores agudas seu controle adequado possibilita um trabalho de reabilitação mais precoce, bem como diminui os índices de cronificação da dor. Nas dores crônicas sua abordagem além da diminuição de sua intensidade, visa também melhorar a qualidade de vida. Atualmente alguns procedimentos estão sendo cada vez mais utilizados com auxílio de aparato de imagem com objetivo diagnóstico e terapêutico.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand nursing team perceptions about the barriers in pain management in the care of hospitalized children. Method: Descriptive-exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, conducted with eight nurses and seven nursing technicians. Data were collected at the Universidade de São Paulo University Hospital, between June and September 2022, through individual interviews, analyzed from the perspective of thematic content analysis and in the light of Symbolic Interactionism. Results: The following categories emerged: 1) Knowledge translation: is pain management actuallyperformed? and 2) Reflecting changes: how to achieve the potential of pain management? Professionals have theoretical knowledge about pain management, however, they listed numerous barriers at each stage, mainly related to institutional routine, and, when reflecting on this context, they indicated the need for an institutional protocol. Final considerations: Barriers stand out from theoretical knowledge and make pain management for hospitalized children disregarded. Knowing this context is relevant forimplementing change strategies.


RESUMEN Objetivo: Comprender las percepciones del equipo de enfermería sobre las barreras en el manejo del dolor en el cuidado de niños hospitalizados. Método: Estudio descriptivo-exploratorio, con abordaje cualitativo, realizado con ocho enfermeros y siete técnicos de enfermería. Los datos fueron recolectados en el Hospital Universitario de la Universidade de São Paulo, entre junio y septiembre de 2022, a través de entrevistas individuales, analizados en la perspectiva del análisis de contenido temático y a la luz del Interaccionismo Simbólico. Resultados: Emergieron las siguientes categorías: 1) Traducción del conocimiento: ¿Se realiza realmente el manejo del dolor? y 2) Reflejar cambios: ¿Cómo alcanzar la potencialidad del manejo del dolor? Los profesionales tienen conocimientos teóricos sobre el manejo del dolor, pero enumeraron numerosas barreras en cada etapa, principalmente relacionadas con el cotidiano institucional, y, al reflejar ese contexto, señalaron la necesidad de un protocolo institucional. Consideraciones finales: las barreras se destacan del conocimiento teórico y hacen que se desestime el manejo del dolor en niños hospitalizados. Conocer este contexto se vuelve relevante para aplicar las estrategias de cambio.

Método: Estudo descritivo-exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa, realizado com oito enfermeiras e sete técnicas de enfermagem. Os dados foram coletados no Hospital Universitário da Universidade de São Paulo, entre junho e setembro de 2022, por meio de entrevistas individuais, analisados sob a ótica da análise temática de conteúdo e à luz do Interacionismo Simbólico. Resultados: Emergiram as seguintes categorias: 1) Tradução de conhecimento: o manejo da dor de fato é realizado? e 2)Refletir mudanças:como atingir a potencialidade do manejo da dor? Os profissionais possuem conhecimento teórico sobre o manejo da dor, porém listaram inúmeras barreiras frente a cada etapa, principalmente relacionadas à rotina institucional, e, ao refletirem sobre esse contexto, indicaram a necessidade de um protocolo institucional. Considerações finais: As barreiras se sobressaem ao conhecimento teórico, e tornam o manejo da dor às crianças hospitalizadas desconsiderado. Conhecer esse contexto é relevante para aplicar estratégias de mudanças.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Aim To identify the phenotypic characteristics of individuals with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) who may benefit from adding duloxetine to self-management (SM) strategies. Methodology This was a post hoc exploratory analysis of a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial with SM-duloxetine (duloxetine 60 mg/day plus SM strategies for 12 weeks) in adult participants with painful TMD. The primary outcome was the proportion of responders to treatment (individuals with ≥ 30% reduction in pain intensity) in SM-duloxetine and SM-placebo group at week 12. For responder analysis, five phenotyping domains recommended by Initiative on Methods, Measurement, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials were assessed: pain, psychological, sleep, quantitative sensory testing, and conditioned pain modulation. Relative risk (RR), 95% confidence intervals (CI), and absolute risk reduction were calculated. Results Among participants treated with SM-duloxetine, severe pain intensity (RR 1.33, 95% CI: 0.56, 3.17), pain disability (RR 1.30, 95% CI: 0.63, 2.67), ≥ 1 painful comorbidity (RR 1.48, 95% CI: 0.57, 3.79), and anxiety symptoms (RR 1.80, 95% CI: 0.75, 4.34) were associated with greater likelihood of response to treatment. Among individuals treated with SM-placebo, only temporal summation of pain was associated with greater likelihood of response to treatment. Conclusion Personalized medicine may be implemented in painful TMD management, and phenotype characteristics related to pain and psychological domains may predict which individuals with painful TMD are more likely to respond to the addition of serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors to SM strategies to clinically and significantly reduce pain intensity.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study is justified by the interest of the area in question and the curiosity to know what methods and procedures are carried out on newborn pain, to help professionals and students to better understand the subject, in addition to showing the results obtained and help to improve care for this public. The objective of this study was to know the perceptions of nursing professionals working in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and in the nursery about newborn (NB) pain and its management. METHODS: A descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach. Technicians, assistants, and nurses who worked for at least three months in the NICU and nursery units of a philanthropic hospital participated in the research. Professionals who were on leave due to vacation or leave of any kind during the study period were excluded. A semi-structured interview was used, and a data analysis was carried out according to the content analysis proposed by Bardin. RESULTS: Twelve professionals, nine nursing technicians and three nurses participated in the research, of these, seven professionals working in the NICU and five in the nursery. From the analysis of the statements of the study participants, two categories emerged: perceptions of professionals regarding the identification and cause of pain in the NB; and NB pain assessment and management. CONCLUSION: The present study reveals the importance of identifying pain in the NB and its effective management, as the lack of appreciation for it can lead to more stress for the NB. Crying was the main characteristic identified by professionals when there is a NB with pain or some discomfort, therefore, mainly non-pharmacological methods are used for relief. Effective management should be seen as an indicator of the quality of care provided, ensuring humanized care, free from damage and with quality.


RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Este estudo se justifica pelo interesse da área em questão e pela curiosidade de saber quais os métodos e procedimentos realizados sobre a dor do recém-nascido, a fim de auxiliar profissionais e estudantes a entenderem melhor sobre o assunto, além de mostrar os resultados obtidos para ajudar na melhora do cuidado deste público. O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer as percepções dos profissionais de enfermagem que atuam na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTIN) e no Berçário acerca da dor dos recém-nascidos (RN) e seu manejo. MÉTODOS: Estudo descritivo, exploratório, de abordagem qualitativa. Participaram da pesquisa técnicos, auxiliares e enfermeiros que atuavam, no mínimo, três meses nas UTIN e Berçário de um hospital filantrópico. Foram excluídos os profissionais que estavam afastados por motivo de férias ou licença de qualquer natureza durante o período do estudo. Utilizou-se a entrevista semiestruturada e a análise dos dados foi realizada de acordo com o proposto por Bardin. RESULTADOS: Participaram da pesquisa 12 profissionais, nove técnicas de enfermagem e três enfermeiras, destes, sete profissionais atuam na UTIN e cinco no berçário. A partir da análise dos depoimentos das participantes do estudo, emergiram duas categorias: percepções dos profissionais quanto à identificação e causa da dor do RN; e avaliação e manejo da dor. CONCLUSĆO: O presente estudo revelou a importância da identificação da dor no RN e o manejo eficaz, visto que a não valorização deste pode resultar em mais estresse para o RN. Notou-se que o choro é a principal característica identificada pelas profissionais quando se tem um RN com dor ou algum desconforto e que são utilizados principalmente os métodos não farmacológicos para o alívio. O manejo efetivo deve ser visto como um indicador de qualidade da assistência oferecida, garantindo um atendimento humanizado, livre de lesões e com qualidade.

Método: Foi desenvolvido um aplicativo móvel, seguido de sua utilização por médicos residentes e de avaliação qualiquantitativa prospectiva. Aplicou-se o teste de conhecimento. Obtiveram-se a usabilidade do aplicativo, por meio da System Usability Scale (SUS), e a satisfação, por meio do Net Promoter Score (NPS). Os dados foram tabulados no Microsoft Office Excel® e exportados para o software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) versão 20.0 (IBM): na realização das análises, adotou-se uma confiança de 95%. Para a análise qualitativa das avaliações, o conteúdo das respostas foi transcrito e organizado em nuvens de palavras para destacar as ideias centrais. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética do Centro Universitário Christus. Resultado: Desenvolveu-se o PaliPain App, aplicativo constituído de casos clínicos de pacientes em cuidados paliativos com manifestações de dor, além de questões, vídeos e imagens, disponibilizado nas plataformas Android e iOS. Utilizaram o aplicativo 13 médicos residentes. A média de acertos de questões no pré-teste sobre dor em cuidados paliativos aumentou de 6,08 para 7,54 após manuseio do aplicativo. Na avaliação sobre a usabilidade do aplicativo, obtivemos na SUS uma média de 89,2, acima do nível considerado adequado de 70,0. Na avaliação de satisfação, 54% dos médicos responderam com pontuação 10 à pergunta: "Em uma escala de 0 a 10, quanto você recomendaria o aplicativo PaliPain a um amigo ou colega?". Conclusão: O PaliPain App, desenvolvido e disponibilizado nas plataformas Android e iOS, foi bem avaliado pelos médicos residentes, apresentando ótimos escores de usabilidade e de satisfação. Identificamos que houve ganho de conhecimento, com pontuação média na resolução de questões aumentando de 6,08 para 7,54 após livre uso da aplicação. O PaliPain App pode ser uma ferramenta útil para ensino de abordagem de dor para médicos residentes.


Abstract Introduction: Pain evaluation has become an increasingly relevant concern for healthcare workers. According to the World Health Organization's definition of Palliative Care, early identification, evaluation, and treatment of pain are important. Objective: Developing and rating an app for mobile devices that focuses on teaching the subject of pain management in Palliative Care. Research Methodology: The app was developed as a learning tool and tested by resident physicians while undergoing a qualitative and quantitative prospective evaluation. Mock tests were taken. The usability of the app was rated through the System Usability Scale (SUS), and satisfaction with the app was rated through the Net Promoter Score (NPS). The data was charted by using Microsoft Office Excel ® and was exported to the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 (IBM) software: an analysis was run with a 95% confidence interval. As for the qualitative analysis of the resident physicians' evaluations, all available content was transcribed and properly organized in word clouds in order to highlight the most important pieces of feedback that the physicians presented regarding the app. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee. Main Results: The PaliPain App was developed as a database filled with clinical cases of patients undergoing palliative care who were experiencing varying levels of pain, and also presents analysis of test questions, videos and images. It was made available for the Android and iOS platforms. The average correct answers in a mock test about pain management during palliative care rose from 6.08 to 7.54. Thirteen resident physicians made use of the app. In the evaluation of the app's usability, the average SUS score was 89.2. In the evaluation of user satisfaction, 54% of the resident physicians answered the question "from a scale of 0 to 10, what is the likelihood of you recommending the PaliPan app to a friend or colleague?" with a score of 10. Conclusion: The PaliPain App, developed and available on Android and iOS platforms, was well evaluated by resident physicians, presenting excellent scores for both usability and satisfaction. We identified that there was a gain in knowledge, with an average score in the resolution of questions increasing from 6.08 to 7.54 after free use of the application. The PaliPan app could be a useful tool to teach the subject of pain to resident physicians.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Neonatal pain management is considered one of the eight principles of neonatal care. This study aims to investigate the construct reflecting neonatal non-pharmacological pain management, in a Brazilian rooming-in unit, and identify the preferred intervention. METHODS: This survey study included 47 health professionals assessed through an in-person questionnaire. Factor analysis was conducted with a rotation using the Varimax method. Cronbach's alpha was 0.78. RESULTS: The construct comprised three factors in the following order: 1) knowledge and impact of neonatal pain on parents, 2) the benefits of pain treatment, and 3) non-pharmacological interventions. Breastfeeding is part of the first factor, revealing its particular importance. The reduction of luminosity is part of the second factor. Non-nutritive sucking with sweet solution, kangaroo position, and music therapy are part of the third factor. CONCLUSION: The construct observed in this rooming-in identified three factors and suggests that breastfeeding is the preferred intervention to implement for non-pharmacological pain management in the neonate.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Bone cancer metastasis may produce severe and refractory pain. It is often difficult to manage with systemic analgesics. Chemical neurolysis may be an effective alternative in terminally ill patients. Case report: Female terminally ill patient with hip metastasis of gastric cancer in severe pain. Neurolytic ultrasound-guided blocks of the pericapsular nerve group and obturator nerve were performed with 5% phenol. This led to satisfactory pain relief for 10 days, until the patient's death. Discussion: This approach may be effective and safe as an analgesic option for refractory hip pain due to metastasis or pathologic fracture in terminally ill patients.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background: The costoclavicular approach to brachial plexus block may have a more favorable anatomy than the classic infraclavicular approach. However, there are conflicting results in the literature regarding the comparative effectiveness of these two techniques. Methods: We systematically searched for Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) comparing costo-clavicular with infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks for upper extremity surgeries on MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Ovid. The outcomes of interest were sensory and motor block onset times, performance times, block failure, and complication rate. We performed statistical analyses using RevMan 5.4 and assessed heterogeneity using the Cochran Q test and I2 statistics. We appraised the risk of bias according to Cochrane's Risk of Bias 2 tool. Results: We included 5 RCTs and 374 patients, of whom 189 (50.5%) were randomized to undergo costoclavicular block. We found no statistically significant differences between the two techniques regarding sensory block onset time in minutes (Mean Difference [MD = −0.39 min]; 95% CI −2.46 to 1.68 min; p = 0.71); motor block onset time in minutes (MD = −0.34 min; 95% CI −0.90 to 0.22 min; p = 0.23); performance time in minutes (MD = −0.12 min; 95% CI −0.89 to 0.64 min; p = 0.75); incidence of block failure (RR = 1.59; 95% CI 0.63 to 3.39; p = 0.63); and incidence of complications (RR = 0.60; 95% CI 0.20 to 1.84; p = 0.37). Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggests that the CCV block may exhibit similar sensory and motor onset times when compared to the classic ICV approach in adults undergoing distal upper extremity surgery, with comparable rates of block failure and complications.

ABSTRACT

A dor pélvica em adolescentes, especialmente durante o período menstrual, é frequentemente subestimada como problema de saúde e impacta significativamente a qualidade de vida. Objetivou-se avaliar o perfil clínico e nutricional de adolescentes com dismenorreia. Selecionou-se 40 adolescentes, com idade entre 11 e 19 anos, atendidas em uma clínica escola de São Paulo, bem como pela técnica de snow-ball. Avaliou-se a dor pélvica pelo questionário validado de escala de dor e o consumo alimentar por meio de recordatório alimentar de 24 horas e Questionário de Frequência Alimentar. Todas as participantes tinham estatura adequada para a idade e 72,5% estavam eutróficas. Trinta e cinco pacientes (87,5%) apresentaram dor de moderada a intensa, enquanto cinco (12,5%) tinham dor leve ou inexistente. A prática de atividade física mostrou-se menos comum entre o grupo com dor moderada a intensa (34,3%). Não houve diferença significativa na duração dos ciclos menstruais entre os grupos. Observou-se menor ingestão de cálcio no grupo com dor menstrual de maior intensidade. Ademais, notou-se menor consumo de alimentos 'in natura' e 'processados' no grupo com dor moderada a intensa durante as refeições de almoço e jantar, respectivamente. Identificou-se uma correlação negativa entre o consumo de cálcio e folato e a duração da dor em dias. A amostra estudada sugere que uma dieta balanceada, rica em cálcio, folato e alimentos naturais, pode ser importante no manejo da dismenorreia. Contudo, são necessárias mais pesquisas para compreender plenamente essa relação e desenvolver intervenções efetivas para o tratamento dessa condição comum entre adolescentes.


Pelvic pain in adolescents, especially during the menstrual period, is often underestimated as a health problem and significantly impacts quality of life. The objective was to evaluate the clinical and nutritional profile of adolescents with dysmenorrhea. 40 adolescents were selected, aged between 11 and 19 years old, treated at a teaching clinic in São Paulo, as well as using the snowball technique. Pelvic pain was assessed using a validated pain scale questionnaire and food consumption was assessed using a 24-hour dietary recall and Food Frequency Questionnaire. All participants had adequate height for their age and 72.5% were eutrophic. Thirty-five patients (87.5%) had moderate to severe pain, while five (12.5%) had mild or no pain. Practicing physical activity was less common among the group with moderate to severe pain (34.3%). There was no significant difference in the length of menstrual cycles between the groups. Lower calcium intake was observed in the group with more intense menstrual pain. Furthermore, there was a lower consumption of 'fresh' and "processed" foods in the group with moderate to severe pain during lunch and dinner meals, respectively. A negative correlation was identified between calcium and folate consumption and the duration of pain in days. The sample studied suggests that a balanced diet, rich in calcium, folate and natural foods, may be important in the management of dysmenorrhea. However, more research is needed to fully understand this relationship and develop effective interventions to treat this common condition among adolescents.
