Peripheral Neuropathy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Peripheral Neuropathy
[A study of peripheral neural conduction, motor and sensory, in diabetic patients treated with hyperbaric oxygenation].
Abstract: There are some occlusive disorders in the vasa nervorum and metabolic changes disminishing oxygen liberation by erytrocites at the capillary blood vessels, and these disturbances lead to endoneural microhypoxia. Hyperbaric oxygen reverts hypoxia in the...
[Hypothesis concerning the anatomical basis of cauda equina syndrome and transient nerve root irritation after spinal anesthesia].
Abstract: Cauda equine syndrome is a rare neurological complication associated with subarachnoid anesthesia, and particularly with the use of 5% hyperbaric lidocaine and small gauge catheters. Our aim was to study a possible anatomical factor that might impede...
Cauda equina syndrome after spinal anaesthesia with hyperbaric 5% lignocaine: a review of six cases of cauda equina syndrome reported to the Swedish Pharmaceutical Insurance 1993-1997.
Abstract: Six cases of cauda equina syndrome with varying severity were reported to the Swedish Pharmaceutical Insurance during the period 1993-1997. All were associated with spinal anaesthesia using hyperbaric 5% lignocaine. Five cases had single-shot spinal...
The incidence of transient radicular irritation after spinal anesthesia in obstetric patients.
Abstract: Transient radicular irritation (TRI) has been described after spinal anesthesia, particularly with 5% hyperbaric spinal lidocaine. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of TRI in obstetric patients. All obstetric patients undergoing spinal...
Repeated transient neurological symptoms after spinal anaesthesia with hyperbaric 5% lidocaine.
Abstract: We report a case of repeated delayed pain after cystoscopy under spinal lidocaine anaesthesia, which may be caused by transient radicular irritation. The possible aetiology of the symptoms is discussed. Panadero, Monedero, Fernandez-Liesa, Percaz, Olavide,...
Commentary: neurotoxicity of local anesthetics–an issue or a scapegoat?
Abstract: To evaluate the etiologies of cauda equina syndrome (CES) and transient radicular irritation (TRI) or transient neurologic symptoms (TNSs) following hyperbaric spinal anesthesia. A review of recent (since 1991) and prior (since 1941) investigations regarding...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on ophthalmic artery blood velocity in patients with diabetic neuropathy.
Abstract: To assess the relationship between blood flow and the complications of diabetes mellitus, we investigated the changes in the velocity of blood flow in the ophthalmic artery before and after hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO), one of the treatments for diabetic...
The effectiveness of intermittent hyperbaric oxygen in relieving drug-induced HIV-associated neuropathy.
Abstract: This 3-month study evaluated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen on drug-induced neuropathies in 22 patients with human immunodeficiency virus. All patients included in the study had been taking an antiretroviral medication for at least 12 months and had...
