tors (Pervichko, Zinchenko, 2013).
Conclusions
Received results prove an important role of psycho-
logical factors in etiology of chest pain in CADpatientswith the high
level of trait anxiety and alexithymia, which supports the urgency
of psychotherapy for them.

Introduction
Magnesium is an endogenous voltage-dependent
NMDA receptor channel blocker and ketamine is a non-competitive
NMDA receptor antagonist. Magnesiummay potentiate the effect of
ketamine in analgesia and anaesthesia, but may also interact in an
opposing manner. This study aimed at evaluating type of the inter-
action between magnesium sulphate and ketamine administered
systemically in rats with an acute nociceptive pain (tail-immersion
test).
Materials and methods
Analgesic activity was assessed by tail-
immersion test in male Wistar rats (200-250 g). The distal 5 cm of
the tail was immersed in a warm water bath (55
±
0.5
◦
C) and the
time for tail-withdrawal was measured as response latency.
Results
Magnesium sulphate (2.5–30mg/kg, s.c.) and ketamine
(2.5-30mg/kg, i.p.) administered alone did not produce any effect.
However, significant antinociception (synergistic interaction) was
revealed at the following doses of ketamine: magnesium sulphate
of 5:5mg/kg, 2.5:5mg/kg and 10:5mg/kg. The effect was not dose-
dependent, and a greater response was obtained when ketamine
was administered before magnesium sulphate.
Conclusions
This study revealed that (1)magnesiumsulphate and
ketamine given alone were not effective against acute nociceptive
pain in rats, but (2) a combination of both drugs resulted in syner-
gistically inhibited nociception, (3) which occurred only at selected
low doses and proportions of the medications in a combination and
(4) suggested the importance of the order of drug administration.

There are various safe non-pharmacologic methods for labor pain
management, which mostly decrees suffering of mother and some
of them significantly decrease pain too.
Aim
To assess effect of pelvic tilt by birth ball, sacrum-perinea
heat therapy and combination use of them on active phase of phys-
iologic labor.
Method
In this randomized control trial, 120 primiparous vol-
unteer with age 18-35 years, gestational age of 38–40 weeks, in
one of hospitals of Iran university of medical sciences were ran-
domly selected and divided in four groups: Pelvic tilt by using birth
ball, sacrum perinea heat therapy, combined use of two mentioned
methods and control group. Tools had 3 main parts of personal
characteristic, client examination form and pain visual analogue
scale (VAS). All ethical points were considered.
Results
Equality of four groups had been checked before inter-
vention. Lowest pain score first belong to pelvic tilt by birth ball
then combined group and finally in heat therapy, which all were
significantly less than control group. Significant decrease of pain
had been seen in birth ball group and combined group during after
30minutes intervention, but in the heat therapy group, it was seen
after 60minutes intervention (
P
-value < 0.05).
Conclusion
All three interventions of this study had significant
effect and decreased labor pain during active phase, but highest
decrease was in pelvic tilt by birth ball group and its effect started
after 30minutes intervention. It is suggested that that Obstetrics
and Midwives consider these safe methods for labor pain manage-
ment.

Introduction
The co-existence of chronic pain and alcohol depen-
dence has been demonstrated in the literature. This population has
high rates of injury, and chronic pain may be a direct result of
conditions such as pancreatitis and neuropathy. Management may
be complicated by pharmacological and behavioural challenges,
potentially leaving patients with suboptimal treatment.
Aims
The aims of this survey were to: establish the prevalence of
chronic painwithin the study population, evaluate themultidimen-
sional impact it had on their lives, and quantify levels of satisfaction
with current treatment.
Methods
Over a 2-month period, 30 consecutive patients within
the Ritson Clinic with Alcohol Dependence Syndrome were
recruited. Using a modified version of the Brief Pain Inventory, each
patient was interviewed by a member of the study group.
Results
The frequency of chronic pain within this population was
47% (14/30) of which the majority was due to back pain (57%
[8/14]), followed by pain of the feet and hands (43% [6/14]). We
found that 64% (9/14) of patients were receiving treatment, and
the average levels of satisfaction (% relief of pain) within this group
was 57%.
Conclusions
Chronic pain and alcohol dependence are multifac-
torial and interlinked, with our analysis showing higher frequencies
of chronic pain compared to the general population. We hypoth-
esize that treating pain may lead to better outcomes as regards
abstinence from alcohol as well as improved quality of life. Larger
