Tapentadol has relatively less effect on mu-opioid receptors compared with other opioids. This has the potential to reduce the occurrence of gastrointestinal (GI) adverse drug events (ADEs).
To compare the GI ADEs during hospitalization between tapentadol immediate release (IR) and oxycodone IR following orthopedic surgeries.
Retrospective cohort study.
A major metropolitan tertiary referral hospital in Australia.
Data for adult orthopedic surgery patients receiving postoperative tapentadol IR or oxycodone IR during hospitalization between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019, were collected from electronic medical records. The primary outcome was the occurrence of postoperative GI ADEs occurring during hospitalization. This was defined as a composite of nausea, vomiting, or constipation.
The study cohort included 199 patients. Of these, 99 patients received tapentadol IR and 100 patients received oxycodone IR for postoperative pain during hospitalization. The mean age was 66 ± 12 years, and 111 patients (56%) were women. There was no significant difference between groups on the occurrence of GI ADEs (53% in oxycodone group and 51% in tapentadol group, difference 2%, 95% confidence interval [CI], -11% to 16%; P = 0.777). After adjusting for potential confounders, the use of tapentadol IR was not associated with a significant reduction of GI ADEs (odds ratio, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.32-1.20; P = 0.154).
This was a single-center study and should be extrapolated with caution. As this was a retrospective study, the accuracy and availability of data were dependent on documentation in electronic medical records.
Tapentadol IR is associated with similar GI ADE occurrence compared with oxycodone IR in patients with orthopedic postoperative pain during hospitalization.

Associations between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and chronic pain disorders, such as fibromyalgia, have been reported. However, associations between persistent chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP) and ADHD have not yet been investigated.
This study aimed to investigate the positive rates of possible ADHD, as assessed by self-reported ADHD scales, in patients with persistent CNLBP, using data from self-reported questionnaires completed by patients and their families. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/cpi-613.html This study also aimed to compare the self-reported scores obtained from existing standardized data for healthy individuals, and to examine whether the ADHD scale scores of patients with persistent CNLBP are associated with pain variables.
Cross-sectional study.
The specialized pain clinic at our university hospital.
This cross-sectional study included 60 consecutive patients with persistent CNLBP who were diagnosed with a possible somatic symptom disorder and were referred to a psychiatrist in our pain clinic. Thistent CNLBP.
Groin pain can be induced by high-level (L1-L2 or L2-L3) lumbar disc herniation. However, 4.1% of patients with lower-level (L4-L5 or L5-S1) lumbar disc herniation also complained of groin pain. The pathomechanism of groin pain occurring due to lumbar disc herniation at and below the L4-5 levels is still unclear.
To investigate the afferent pathways of lower-level lumbar disc herniation induced groin pain. And evaluate the clinical results of transforaminal endoscopic discectomy treatment for discogenic groin pain.
This retrospective observational study used an experimental design (institutional review board HROH 201-C2-100).
The research took place in the Laboratory Research Center and spine center at The First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University.
Firstly, 14 adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 groups control group (the paravertebral sympathetic trunks were preserved) and experimental group (the paravertebral sympathetic trunks were resected). All Wistar rats were intraperitthetic nerves and appears in the area segmentally innervated by the anterior rami of the L1 and L2 spinal nerves. Posterolateral percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy and radiofrequency thermal annuloplasty are effective minimally invasive alternative treatments for discogenic groin pain.
Discogenic groin pain is transmitted by sympathetic nerves and appears in the area segmentally innervated by the anterior rami of the L1 and L2 spinal nerves.

Bone marrow lesions are a radiographic indication of bony pathology closely associated with advanced osteoarthritis of the adjacent joint. Injection of autologous orthobiologic products, including bone marrow concentrate and platelet-rich plasma, have demonstrated safety and efficacy in treating both advanced osteoarthritis (via intraarticular injection) and associated bone marrow lesions (via intraosseous injection). The relative efficacy of intraarticular versus intraosseous injection of orthobiologics has not been evaluated at the present time.
The objective was to evaluate differences in orthobiologic bone marrow lesions treatment, either as a collateral result of intraarticular injection with bone marrow concentrate and platelet products alone, or intraosseous plus intraarticular injection as measured by patient reported outcomes.
This study employed a prospective case-matched cohort design.
This study took place at a single outpatient interventional orthopedic pain clinic.
Using data from a prrming the injections, varying onset of symptoms to treatment, and additional injections after their initial treatment, that were not controlled. In addition, increasing the sample size may be beneficial as well, particularly with the large bone marrow lesions group, which did suggest possible improvement with intraosseous plus intraarticular over the intraarticular, although was not statistically significant in our sample. Limited data availability for this cohort as well as some missing data are other limitations to consider.
Treating knee bone marrow lesions with intraosseous bone marrow concentrate and platelet products did not affect patient reported outcomes.
