Headaches
Sleep Disorders
An overnight sleep study is a diagnostic test that includes several types of measurements used to identify different sleep stages and classify various sleep disorders. Small sensors are connected to the head, face, chest and legs of the patient to monitor different brain and body activities including brain waves, eye movements, heart rate, respiration and muscle movements. This will not be painful or uncomfortable and is very safe.
Bronchitis
Pneumonia

Labor and Delivery
I n regional analgesia, only a specific area of the body is targeted for pain relief. This type of pain control involves placing a needle near nerves supplying the area of the body to be operated on and injecting a pain reliever directly into this area. The needle placement can usually be done under sedation or after our patient is asleep in the operating room. There are several advantages to regional analgesia. It provides pain control at the surgical sight without as much sedation after surgery. Many areas of the body are suitable for regional analgesia. Examples of some of these include surgery on the hand (e.g. reconstruction), surgery on the foot (e.g. bunionectomy), surgery on the leg (e.g. total knee replacement), surgery on the shoulder (e.g. rotator cuff repair), abdominal surgery (e.g. exploratory laparotomy), and lung surgery (e.g. thoracotomy). Another instance in which regional analgesia is very commonly employed and preferred is with labor and delivery and also following cesarean sections.

Autism
Multiple Sclerosis
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is dedicated to ending the devastating effects of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Acquire news updates, information about the organization, local resources and MS links.
Epilepsy
It is used as an aid, but only an aid in diagnosing epilepsy, and other conditions. An EEG will not normally prove conclusively that you have, or don't have epilepsy. Your medical history and an eyewitness account of your seizures are still the most important factors in making a diagnosis.

Depression
Psychiatry
The Center for Narcolepsy is part of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and has published more than 100 articles on narcolepsy. It is the world leader in the search for the cause of narcolepsy. Several hundred patients with the disorder are currently treated at the Center or participate in various research protocols. A colony of Dobermans affected with the disorder is also bred and maintained to study narcolepsy and search for the canine narcolepsy gene (see Research).
Insomnia
Anxiety

General Surgery
Knee Replacement
E pidural analgesia involves delivery of anesthetic medication on nerves within the epidural space in the vertebral column. We place a small tube or catheter within this space and this allows us to continuously give medication as required for comfort throughout the surgical recovery and beyond. Frequently the patient can be given control over this dosing mechanism just as with the IV PCA. This technique is called patient controlled epidural analgesia or PCEA. This type of pain control is particularly well suited for major lower extremity procedures like a total hip or knee replacement, certain abdominal or pelvic surgeries and is especially useful after chest surgery.

Ulcer
T reatment of chronic pain is more challenging as compared to acute pain management. Successful therapy depends on a multidimensional assessment of the pain problem that goes beyond the physiologic cause and includes the contributing factors and barriers. Contributing factors are those things which do not cause the pain in-and-of themselves, but which may amplify the pain or perpetuate it. Examples include poor posture in the chronic neck pain patient, or dietary factors in the migraine patient. Also, insomnia, anxiety and depression may contribute to an amplified pain experience. An intercurrent illness such as bronchitis with persistent cough may be a contributing factor in a patient with recent rib fracture pain. Barriers make pain assessment harder, prevent successful application of a useful treatment, or block the recovery process. Examples should include language or cultural barriers, chemical dependency, chaotic psychosocial lifestyle, insurance non-coverage. A history of physical, emotional or sexual abuse can act as a barrier because patients with such a history may adapt poorly to a new physical injury. Medical illness can also act as a barrier: The patient with peptic ulcer disease may not be able to utilize non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which would otherwise have helped the pain problem.

Physical Therapy
R ecovering from surgery can be very painful. Everyone understands that. Acute Pain Management is designed to specifically reduce this pain. But in some cases pain control is not just a matter of comfort - it is a matter of medical safety. If pain is not adequately controlled, you may not be able to do the things required to get better, such as getting out of bed, breathing deeply, assisting with physical therapy, etc.
