Abstract

Purpose of Review

This review explores the current applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of pain medicine with a focus on machine learning.

Recent Findings

Utilizing a literature search conducted through the PubMed database, several current trends were identified, including the use of AI as a tool for diagnostics, predicting pain progression, predicting treatment response, and performance of therapy and pain management. Results of these studies show promise for the improvement of patient outcomes.

Summary

Current gaps in the research and subsequent directions for future study involve AI in optimizing and improving nerve stimulation and more thoroughly predicting patients’ responses to treatment.

03.06.2024 Urologische Notfallmedizin Nachrichten

Wer ihn je erlebt hat, wird ihn nicht vergessen: den Schmerz, den die beim Öffnen oder Schließen des Reißverschlusses am Hosenschlitz eingeklemmte Haut am Penis oder Skrotum verursacht. Eine neue Methode für rasche Abhilfe hat ein US-Team getestet.

Blutdrucksenkung schon im Rettungswagen bei akutem Schlaganfall?

31.05.2024 Apoplex Nachrichten

Der optimale Ansatz für die Blutdruckkontrolle bei Patientinnen und Patienten mit akutem Schlaganfall ist noch nicht gefunden. Ob sich eine frühzeitige Therapie der Hypertonie noch während des Transports in die Klinik lohnt, hat jetzt eine Studie aus China untersucht.

Laut einer Studie aus den USA und Kanada scheint es bei der Reanimation von Kindern außerhalb einer Klinik keinen Unterschied für das Überleben zu machen, ob die Wiederbelebungsmaßnahmen während des Transports in die Klinik stattfinden oder vor Ort ausgeführt werden. Jedoch gibt es dabei einige Einschränkungen und eine wichtige Ausnahme.
