Discrepancy between prevalence and perceived effectiveness of treatment methods in myofascial pain syndrome: Results of a cross-sectional, nationwide survey

Medicine
Despite a variety of commonly prescribed treatments, the moderate effectiveness ratings and the frequent characterizations of the available treatments as insufficient suggest an urgent need for clinical research to establish evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome.
Characterization of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the membrane of unmyelinated human C-fiber axons by in vitro studies.

Biology, Medicine
Electrophysiological and immunohistochemical data indicate the functional expression of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors composed of alpha3, alpha5, and beta4 but not of alpha4/beta2 or of alpha7 subunits in the axonal membrane of unmyelinated human C fibers.

Characteristics of electrical skin resistance at acupuncture points in healthy humans

Medicine
This study shows that electrical skin resistance at APs can either be lower or higher compared to the surrounding area, and concludes that APs might possess specific transient electrical properties.
Post‐spike excitability indicates changes in membrane potential of isolated C‐fibers

Biology, Medicine
Recordings of post‐spike excitability and shifts in latency are sensitive techniques for detection of various types of neuromodulation, which are correlated with changes in membrane potential of unmyelinated peripheral axons and may help to understand observations obtained by microneurography in peripheral human neuropathies.

Activity-dependent modulation of axonal excitability in unmyelinated peripheral rat nerve fibers by the 5-HT(3) serotonin receptor.

- 1 December 2006
Biology, Medicine
Testing the effects of m-chlorophenylbiguanide on activity- and potential-dependent variations in membrane threshold and conduction velocity of unmyelinated C-fiber axons of isolated rat sural nerve segments indicates that activation of axonal 5-HT(3) receptors not only enhances membrane excitability but also modulates action potential trains in un myelinated nerve fibers at high impulse rates.
Bmc Complementary and Alternative Medicine Acupuncture in Acute Herpes Zoster Pain Therapy (acuzoster) – Design and Protocol of a Randomised Controlled Trial
- J. Fleckenstein S. Kramer Tu
- 2009
Medicine
Objective of the present study is to investigate whether a 4 week semi-standardised acupuncture is non-inferior to sham laser acupuncture and the anticonvulsive drug gabapentine in the treatment of pain associated with herpes zoster.

Medicine
Compared to more cranial levels, EA of the lower spine is associated with an increased risk of sanguineous and unsuccessful puncture and insufficient analgesia more often accompanies high thoracic and low lumbar approaches.
