Electroconvulsive therapy in the management of chronic pain.

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is used predominantly to treat major depressive illness but has also been used for chronic pain. ECT causes a variety of neurochemical and neurophysiologic effects, some of which may interact with the pathophysiologic mechanisms in complex pain states. An extensive literature on the use of ECT in pain patients identifies subgroups for whom ECT may result in substantial pain relief. In this article, we review the literature on the use of ECT in pain patients, suggest possible neurobiologic bases for the efficacy of ECT in such patients, and conclude with our recommendations for current clinical practice.

The significance of the concept of obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorder to the treatment of chronic nonmalignant pain.

The concept of an obsessive-compulsive spectrum of disorders has become useful. This article reviews what has been learned about these conditions (especially in the last few years), and how this information may be helpful to clinicians and researchers who work with patients with chronic nonmalignant pain.

What predicts evolution from episodic to chronic cluster headache?

Over the last few years, attention has increasingly been focused on the evolution of cluster headache over time. Predictive factors have been identified that are correlated with an increased risk of unfavorable evolution from the episodic form to the chronic form of cluster headache. Late onset, the presence of sporadic attacks, a high frequency of cluster periods, and short-lived duration of remission periods when the headache is still in its episodic form all correlate with a possible worsening of the clinical picture over time. The reasons for evolution of episodic cluster headache to chronic are still unknown, but some factors, such as head trauma and other lifestyle factors--eg, cigarette smoking and alcohol intake--have been suggested as having a negative influence on the course of cluster headache over time.
