Selective high-frequency spinal chord modulation for inhibiting pain with reduced side affects and associated systems and methods are disclosed. In particular embodiments, high-frequency modulation in the range of from about 1.5 KHz to about 50 KHz may be applied to the patient's spinal chord region to address low back pain without creating unwanted sensory and/or motor side affects. In other embodiments, modulation in accordance with similar parameters can be applied to other spinal or peripheral locations to address other indications.

The invention relates to a substance for curing or relieving pain, and provides application of a gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptor inverse agonist containing alpha 5 subunits in preparing a drug for preventing and improving or curing the pain and also provides a drug composition containing the substance for curing or relieving the pain.

The subject invention relates to novel P2X₃ receptor antagonists that play a critical role in treating disease states associated with pain, in particular peripheral pain, inflammatory pain, or tissue injury pain that can be treated using a P2X₃ receptor subunit modulator.

Methods for treating atrial arrhythmias can involve configuring an implantable arrhythmia treatment device. A device can be configured after implantation when the patient is fully conscious and after any pain suppression medication has worn off. The device is caused to apply a phased unpinning far field therapy to the patient in response to detection of an arrhythmia via a far field configuration of electrodes. An indication of a pain sensation of the patient and the effectiveness of the treatment in response to the therapy can then be received. In response, at least one of a set of therapy parameters is adjusted and the steps are repeated until it is determined that an effective treatment is provide at a pain sensation that is tolerable to the patient. The device is then programmed to automatically treat arrhythmias detected in the patient with the determined set of therapy parameters.

Provided are methods for using bis-quaternary ammonium compounds to treat inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain and nociceptive pain.

A system and method for measuring an infant's pain intensity is presented. The method for assessing an infant's pain intensity based on facial expressions is comprised of three main stages: detection of an infant's face in video sequence followed by preprocessing operations including face alignment; expression segmentation; and expression recognition or classification. Also presented is a multimodal system for assessing an infant's pain intensity using the following classifiers: facial expression classifier; vital sign classifier; crying recognition classifier; body motion classifier and state of arousal classifier. Each classifier generates an individual score, all of which are normalized and weighed to generate a total pain score that indicates pain intensity.

The invention provides an emergency room nursing system. A tightening belt is arranged on the surface of an oxygen uptake face mask, a through opening is formed in the lower end of the oxygen uptake face mask, an emesis woven bag is connected to the exterior of the through opening, an oxygen supply pipeline is arranged at the upper end of the oxygen uptake face mask, a fixing device is arranged below an oxygen supply flexible pipe, a ventilation baffle is fixed to the fixing device, and a rotating device is arranged below the baffle; a vital sign detection end is arranged inside the fixing device, and the vital sign detection end comprises a brain wave scanner, artery systolic pressure measuring equipment, a body temperature sensing module, pulse detection equipment, muscular tension detection equipment, pain sensation detection equipment, an emotion sensing module, a brain wave sensing module and an indoor environment detection end. By means of the emergency room nursing system, the vital signs of a patient can be detected through a vital sign detection module, the emotional and brain wave states of the patient can be sensed through the emotion sensing module and the brain wave sensing module, the intelligentization degree is high, and nursing quality is greatly improved.

A Chinese medicine in the form of oral liquid for treating the chronic pain caused by the peripheroneural damage is prepared from 5 Chinese medicinal materials including asarum herb, notoginseng, American ginseng, tremella, and pilose asiabell root on achyranthes bidentate through extracting polyose substances separately. The extracted polyose components have the function of repairing the nerve ending causing the chronic pain and contain no inhibitor on the nervous centralis. Its advantages are high curative effect, quickly taking its effect and no toxic by-effect.
