Abstract

Purpose of Review

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS), based on the gate theory of nociception, has been shown to be effective in the management of chronic pain conditions. While early-generation technology offered many patients improvement in their pain and symptoms, limitations including paresthesia, dependence on mapping, decreased chronological efficacy, and inadequate coverage left many patients with persistent pain and overt therapeutic failure.

Recent Findings

New advances in neuromodulation technology circumvent many of these previous limitations and offer patients improved pain relief and quality of life.

Summary

In this review, an update on recent technological developments in the field of SCS and peripheral neuromodulation is presented with discussion on differentiating characteristics which may help guide applicability to individual patient needs.

Delir bei kritisch Kranken – Antipsychotika versus Placebo

16.05.2024 Delir nicht substanzbedingt Nachrichten

Um die Langzeitfolgen eines Delirs bei kritisch Kranken zu mildern, wird vielerorts auf eine Akuttherapie mit Antipsychotika gesetzt. Eine US-amerikanische Forschungsgruppe äußert jetzt erhebliche Vorbehalte gegen dieses Vorgehen. Denn es gibt neue Daten zum Langzeiteffekt von Haloperidol bzw. Ziprasidon versus Placebo.
