Dual sympathetic blocks (DSBs) have been shown to provide significant symptom relief in individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, despite the clinical significance of DSB PTSD treatment, a subset patients experience recurrence somatic symptoms and trauma-induced anxiety. The purpose this case report is describe our successful treatment acute by using serial DSBs pulsed ra...

We describe a spectrometer for pulsed ENDOR at 140 GHz, which is based on microwave IMPATT diode amplifiers and a probe consisting of a TE011 cavity with a high-quality resonance circuit for variable radiofrequency irradiation. For pulsed EPR we obtain an absolute sensitivity of 3x10(9) spins/Gauss at 20 K. The performance of the spectrometer is demonstrated with pulsed ENDOR spectra of a stand...

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFT) combined with pulsed (PRF) Gasserian ganglion in patients V2/V3 trigeminal neuralgia (TN).
 Methods: We evaluated 27 V2/3 TN who had undergone RFT PRF ganglion. Patients were treated (42°C, 45 V, 20 ms, 120 s), (65°C, 60 (70°C, consecutively. Visual analogue scale (VAS) Barrow Neurolo...

introduction: adequate control of acne is difficult, regardless of the various conventional modalities. intense pulsed light (ipl) system is one of the emerging options that are become increasingly useful. methods: to achieve the best ipl parameters we evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of ipl at 752-nm wavelength, 35 j/cm2 fluence, 55-ms pulse duration in comparison with 572-nm wavelength...

Abstract The performance of polymer surface treatment using plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) depends on many operating parameters, such as duration, radiofrequency power, pulsed bias voltage and pulse repetition rate, the fluence applied surface. Currently, identification optimal parameters to achieve specific targets is heavily based trail error with extensive experimental testing. Her...

Cancer is frequently seen in women of reproductive age. Diagnosis, management of treatment, and safety of the therapeutic approach are particularly important for these patients. Presently described is pain management in a case of pregnancy with malignant mesenchymal tumor. A 23-year-old woman in 30th gestational week presented with severe pain in right hip and back of the right thigh. Piriformi...

A patient with intractable postherpetic itch lasting for 1 year was reported. The itch was mainly from the left vertex, frontal and ophthalmic regions and extended to the left neck area. The patient had negative response to the ophthalmic nerve block. Under the initial positive response to the great occipital nerve block, pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) was performed on the position of the great oc...

OBJECTIVE This report describes a case where pulsed radiofrequency lesioning (RFL) of the greater occipital nerve (GON) offered a valuable and safe treatment for the management of greater occipital neuralgia. The case is considered in relation to a review of the medical literature on greater occipital neuralgia and RFL interventions. CASE REPORT A 62-year-old man with a 43-year history of lef...
