To reduce pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis, interventions can be given, one which ultrasound continuous current. Determine the description osteoarthritis after intervention modality.

We compared the analgesic efficacy of spinal and general anaesthesia following transurethral procedures. 97 and 47 patients underwent transurethral bladder tumour resection (TUR-B) and transurethral prostatectomy (TUR-P), respectively. Postoperative pain was recorded using an 11-point visual analogue scale (VAS). VAS score was greatest at discharge from recovery room for general anaesthesia (P ...

introduction: one of the most important reasons for postoperative pain is the extrusion of debris from the apical foramen during preparation and shaping of root canals. the aim of this clinical trial was to evaluate the severity of postoperative pain with the use of two different engine-driven niti systems. methods and materials: ninety mandibular molars were randomly divided into two groups ( ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the visual analogue scale (VAS) as a method of pruritus assessment. A total of 310 subjects with pruritic dermatoses (148 Caucasian subjects and 162 Asian subjects) were recruited. The patients assessed pruritus intensity using the horizontal and vertical VAS, numeric rating scale (NRS) and verbal rating scale (VRS). All scales showed very good reproducibil...

The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a common form of response option in health outcome studies, often used to measure pain, amongst other things, and is generally presented as a single line of 100 mm with anchor words at either end (e.g. no pain – worst possible pain). It was first published in the early 1920's (1, 2) though not widely used at that time (3). There are variations on the VAS theme...

This study investigates the effect of sub-phonemic variation in bilabial stop and sibilant fricative consonants on word identification. Recent research suggests that sub-phonemic variation in stop voicing contrasts influences lexical processing. The present study seeks further support for this view by examining listeners’ responses to synthetic speech varying along VOT and fricative place conti...

SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The present study was conducted on ten patients suffering from persistent oral lichen planus (OLP).Patients were treated with diode laser (970nm) for the symptomatic relief of pain and burning sensation. The patients were assessed before, during and after the completion of the laser treatment which was done twice weekly for two successive months with maximum of ten session...

Purpose. Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that temporarily liquefies the interstitial barrier, allowing easy dispersal of local anaesthetic through cleavage of tissue planes. This prospective, blinded, randomised controlled study investigates the utility of adding hyaluronidase to local anaesthetic in the setting of carpal tunnel release. Methods. 70 consecutive carpal tunnel release patients were re...

Methods A 50:50 mixture with NO and oxygen was administered to JIA patients over the age of 5 years scheduled for joint injection. In some cases additional sedative agents (local EMLA, orally midazolam, nasal fentanest) was administered. Every patient completed visual-analogue scores (VAS) (0-10) for pain immediately after the procedure, and after 30 and 60 minutes. The physician valuated sedat...

Methods Cross-sectional retrospective study determining: 1) serum adalimumab (Ada) levels by a capture ELISA (positive > 5 ng/ml) and 2) levels of AAA by a two-site bridging ELISA [positive > 10 Arbitrary Units (AU)/ml]. The clinical activity was assessed by conventional tests and the physician visual analogue scale (ph-VAS) of 0 to 10, the same day that the blood sample was collected. Blood sa...
