Ano global contra dor de cabeça, IASP



O Ano 2011-2012 foi escolhido pela IASP o ano global contra a Dor de Cabeça, chamando a atenção para uma das condições mais comuns, dolorosa e incapacitante que afeta as pessoas ao longo da vida: a dor de cabeça. 


Em conjunto com a International Headache Society, serão feitos diversos eventos para divulgação de informações sobre dor de cabeça em todo o mundo.

O objetivo também é de educar os pesquisadores não apenas da dor, mas os médicos dentro de mais de 130 países que compõem a associação IASP, mas também a maior comunidade global de profissionais de saúde que testemunham os problemas associados com dor de cabeça em primeira mão em suas interações diárias com os pacientes.

Nesse ano, também se tentará aumentar a consciência da importância epidemiológica da dor de cabeça entre os governos, na mídia e no público em geral em todo o mundo. Incentivando os líderes do governo, instituições de pesquisa, e outra chave tomadores de decisão para apoiar mais a pesquisa, em última análise produzir métodos de tratamento mais eficaz e acessível e resultados para as pessoas com dor de cabeça.

Durante toda a campanha, que irá percorrer o final de outubro de 2012, membros da IASP e capítulos organizarão reuniões, simpósios, eventos, publicações e muitos outros esforços para explorar diferentes aspectos da dor de cabeça. Além disso, IASP e seus capítulos vão patrocinar os esforços na mídia, destacando alguns dos desafios colocados pela dor de cabeça (como as mais recentes técnicas de pesquisa sobre dores de cabeça, formas de lidar com vários tipos de dor de cabeça, e fatores genéticos que levam a dor de cabeça). Esses esforços serão publicadas na internet.
Contacte o capítulo IASP local, no Brasil a SBED, ou secretariado em IASPdesk@iasp-pain.org para mais informações.
Através do apoio ao Ano Mundial e tornando-se ativamente envolvido, podemos fazer muito para minimizar a dor e o sofrimento da dor de cabeça, um dos mais freqüentes queixas médicas na prática geral.

Outubro 2011 - 12 Ano contra a Dor de Cabeça


Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce the 2011-2012 Global Year Against Headache campaign, which will launch on Monday, October 17, 2011. This year, the IASP-sponsored initiative will draw attention to one of the most common, painful, and disabling conditions that affect people throughout their lives: the headache. We are proud to work this year with the International Headache Society, whose members collaborated with ours to write fact sheets on different headache types and classifications, the epidemiology of headache, and approaches to study and treatment. They are available free in the five WHO languages on the IASP website. We hope you will join the campaign by:
  • Disseminating information on headache throughout the world.
  • Educating not only pain researchers and clinicians within the 130+ countries that comprise the IASP membership, but also the larger global community of health care professionals who witness the problems associated with headache firsthand in their daily interactions with patients.
  • Increasing awareness of headache among government officials, media, and the general public worldwide.
  • Encouraging government leaders, research institutions, and other key decision-makers to support more research, ultimately producing more effective and accessible treatment methods and outcomes for people with headache.
Throughout the campaign, which will run through late October 2012, IASP members and chapters will organize meetings, symposia, patient-education events, publications, and many other efforts exploring different aspects of the headache. In addition, IASP and its chapters will sponsor media efforts highlighting some of the challenges posed by headache (such as the latest research techniques on headache, ways to address various types of headache pain, and genetic factors leading to headache). Those efforts will be posted on these pages.
I encourage you to get involved in any such activities planned in your area. Whether you help to plan and organize an event, deliver a talk related to acute pain, or attend a meeting to show your support, your participation is essential to the success of the Global Year Against Headache. Please contact your local IASP chapter, or the IASP secretariat office at IASPdesk@iasp-pain.org, for more information.
Be sure to visit these Global Year web pages regularly, where you will find a series of fact sheets focusing on many topics and issues surrounding headache – furnished in English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish, as well as other languages to come. The fact sheets, campaign posters, logos, and other resources are available on the website to all at no cost. You can also complete the online form to request Global Year Updates (via email) with the latest news and campaign resources.
By supporting the Global Year and becoming actively involved, we can do much to minimize the pain and suffering from headache, one of the most frequent of medical complaints seen in general practice. IASP would also like to learn about success stories where chapters or hospitals have made special efforts and improved the management of headache. We will share your stories and photos on the website and through the IASP e-Newsletter.
We look forward to a successful Global Year!
Kind Regards,
Kalso Signature

Revisão crítica sobre uso de Sonoanestesia

Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) has increased in popularity over the
past 5 years. This interest is reflected by the plethora of publications devoted to
technique development as well as randomized and controlled trials. The journal of
the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA), Regional
Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, has recently devoted a dedicated section to UGRA.
Further evidence of the interest in ultrasonography by our community is the comprehensive coverage of UGRA at national and international meetings. Despite the excitement around ultrasound (US), skeptics argue that there is a lack of evidence-based medicine to support the unequivocal adoption of UGRA as a “standard of care.”

This article summarizes and critically assesses current data comparing traditional
approaches to localizing nerves with those that use US guidance. In addition, the
authors explore the potential benefits of UGRA that go beyond current information
available from comparative studies.
