Brief Summary:
Despite recent advances in minimal invasive surgery, postoperative pain control remains a challenge for both surgeons and anesthesiologists . Currently, laparoscopy has an obvious favor for both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of pelvic and abdomen; while it is minimally invasive, has less pain, and needs less postoperative analgesic use compared with open surgeries . Shoulder pain is a frequent problem following laparoscopic procedure
Detailed Description:
Many patients may feel much more discomfort from their shoulder pain than incision pain . Post laparoscopic shoulder pain is caused by irritation and/or injury of the diaphragm and phrenic nerve by local acidosis and irritative effect of carbon dioxide during pneumoperitoneum or distention forces on the diaphragm. Duloxetine is a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor antidepressant . It is used to treat major depressive disorder in adults. Duloxetine is also used to treat general anxiety disorder. It is also used in adults to treat fibromyalgia (a chronic pain disorder), or chronic muscle or joint pain (such as low back pain and osteoarthritis pain). Duloxetine is also used to treat diabetic neuropathy. Previous studies focused on the use of gabapentin and pregabalin (both are antineuropathic pain medications) to prevent post laparoscopic shoulder pain after laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy showed favorable results and since duloxetine is an antineuropathic pain medications we assume its use will ameliorate diaphragmatic irritation and hencepost laparoscopic shoulder pain.
