Keywords

Dexmedetomidine, nociceptive index

Brief summary

Pre-clinic evidences showed that DEX produces antinociception by inhibiting the activation of spinal microglia and astrocyte decreasing noxious stimuli evoked release of nociceptive substances and further interrupting the spinal neuron-glia cross talk and regulating the nociceptive transmission under chronic pain condition. in this study, the analgesic efficacy of Dexmedetomidine was evaluated by a new non-invasive nociceptive index (qNOX). In this study, Anagel6000 analgesia monitor was used to quantitatively compare the analgesic efficacy of Dexmedetomidine compared with Midazolam.
