Volume 57, Issue 2 (5-1999)
Abstract
We have compared the effects of fentanyl and pethidine in the treatment of postanaesthetic shivering. Fifty patients who were shivering after routine abdominal surgery were allocated randomly to receive fentanyl 75 µg and pethidine 25 mg. After 10 min, 23 patients in pethidine group and 22 patients in the fentanyl group had stopped shivering which was not significantly different in the two groups. We conclude that fentanyl 75 µg was effective in the treatment of postanaesthetic shivering.

Abstract

Background: Stretching exercises and massage therapy are both suggested for pain relief in fibromyalgia syndrome. Previous studies have not proved their superiority over each other. This study compared the therapeutic effects of friction massage, stretching exercises, and analgesics on pain relief in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome.
Methods: We evaluated 129 female patients with the diagnosis of primary fibromyalgia visited at the physical medicine clinics of Baqiyatallah Hospital in Tehran, Iran during 2010- 2011. Patients were randomly divided into three groups: the first group received 400 mg ibuprofen P.O. (3 times per day) and 25 mg nortriptyline (daily) P.O. as analgesic, the second group was treated by friction massage and the third group performed stretching exercises. Patients were assessed three times (initially, after one and four weeks) by visual analogue scale (VAS).
Results: The mean age of participants was 60.46 years. The mean age in each treatment group was 46.66 years in medication group, 46.73 years in stretching group and 46.65 years in friction massage group. Changes in VAS score over 4 weeks were 2.4, 3.1 and 1.9, in the first, second, and third groups, respectively. The changes in VAS were significantly different in the first and second groups rather than the controls (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The effect of stretch exercise on pain relief was similar to analgesics, but it was more effective than friction massage. Moreover, the therapeutic effect of stretching exercise on pain relief upon four weeks was more permanent than friction massage but it was similar to analgesics.

Abstract
Today surgery is supposed as the cure for many diseases and the fear of post-operation pain burdens stress over the patients. Postoperative pain can, especially if severe, complicate the patient's condition and may lead to chronic postoperative pain. post-operation pain control is effective in the recovery process, hospitalization period and patients’ satisfaction. Insufficient post-operation pain control increases complications and care costs. Local analgesia is one of the components of multimodal postoperative. analgesic protocol to control pain. Local analgesia technique is a simple, accessible and feasible method for various surgeries. The opioid analgesics to control post-operation pain are associated with some complications such as opium addiction, nausea and vomiting, late return of bowel function and social costs. This review study aims. to review previous studies on the effect of injection of analgesic agents in the surgical incision in post-operation pain control. This is a Narrative review study. to related scientific documentaries a search was conducted in Persian and English using the keywords of local injection of the incision site, wound infiltration with analgesic agents and post-operation pain control in Google scholar, PubMed and Scopus database during the years 2000 to 2020. The obtained articles included systematic reviews, Meta-analyses and randomized clinical trials (RCT). We reviewed studies that had utilized single-dose injection of analgesic agents in surgical incisions at the end of surgery to control post-operation pain. A total of ten studies were reviewed. There were 4 studies in the field of laparoscopic gynecological and non-gynecological surgeries, three studies in the field of laparotomy and three review studies. injection of analgesic agents in the surgical incision to control post-operation pain is easily available and does not necessitate any special skill. On the other hand, it is a safe method without further complications and does not increase the duration of surgery. Regardless of the differences in various studies and the kind of analgesic agents, a general reduction in pain severity and consumption of opioid and non-opioid analgesic agents were observed using the injection of analgesic agents in surgical site incision.
