Local anesthetic efficacy of tramadol has been reported following intradermal application. Our aim was to investigate the effect of perineural tramadol as the sole analgesic in two pain models. Male Wistar rats (280-380 g; N = 5/group) were used in these experiments. A neurostimulation-guided sciatic nerve block was performed and 2% lidocaine or tramadol (1.25 and 5 mg) was perineurally injecte...

UNLABELLED Tramadol is a synthetic, centrally acting analgesic agent with 2 distinct, synergistic mechanisms of action, acting as both a weak opioid agonist and an inhibitor of monoamine neurotransmitter reuptake. The 2 enantiomers of racemic tramadol function in a complementary manner to enhance the analgesic efficacy and improve the tolerability profile of tramadol. In several comparative, we...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate antidepressant like effect of tramadol in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tramadol was administered at three different doses (10,20 and 40 mg/kg, i.p) once daily for 7 days to Swiss albino mice of either sex. The immobility period of control and drug treated mice were recorded in tail suspension test (TST).The antidepressant effect of tramadol was compared to that of fluoxet...

BACKGROUND Few data are available on the stereoselective pharmacokinetics of tramadol in children. The aim of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic model for the (+)- and (-)-enantiomers of tramadol and its O-demethyl tramadol metabolite (M1) in children. METHODS Twenty-five children (1-8 yr) were included in this study. Tramadol was administered after surgery by continuous i...

This double blind, randomized, controlled trial investigated whether a single preoperative intravenous (iv) dose of tramadol (100 mg) given 30 min before abdominal hysterectomy resulted in improved analgesic efficacy, reduced postoperative morphine patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) use and reduced side effects when combined with a postoperative small-dose tramadol infusion. Two-hundred twenty-...

BACKGROUND Shivering is a common postanesthesia adverse event with multiple etiologies. At present tramadol is a widely used drug for the control of shivering. However, tramadol may cause a lot of nausea and vomiting. Hence, the need to find a better drug with less of side effects. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of dexmedetomidine and tramadol in the treatment of post-spinal ...

The authors have reported a case of seizure after administration of 100 mg tramadol in a female patient with a history of epilepsy. The authors state that it is the first case of seizure due to tramadol administration in India. Although the rate of seizure due to tramadol seems quite low in India, it is higher in some countries such as Iran, and can reach up to 30% in cases of tramadol overdose...

abstract:the paper begins by noting that proposals involving significant developments in the regional tradearchitecture are being developed within regional processes that in some cases are simultaneouslypursuing other dimensions of regional economic integration: monetary and financial cooperation inthe case of asean + 3, and the establishment of a common market in the case of asean. at leastthr...

abstract background: transcranial doppler ultrasonography results have not been previously studied in among iranian sickle cell anemia patients. the present study was performed to evaluate the pattern of intracranial flow velocities among iranian children with sickle cell anemia and the hematological parameters that can affect the time-averaged mean of maximum velocity in major intracranial art...
