“…One group received pure lidocaine while the other received lidocaine associated with 1 µg.kg -1 of clonidine. The development of CRPS was much lower in the group of patients who received clonidine (10%) than in the group of patients who received pure lidocaine (70%) 13 . Clonidine has analgesic properties in patients with sympathetic-induced pain, possibly because it reduces the release of norepinephrine to peripheral prejunctional α-adrenergic receptors 12 .…”

“…In cases refractory to conventional strategies, a sympathetic blockade with clonidine may be conducted [48][49][50]. Spinal cord stimulation must be considered as a last option in cases that have not responded to any previous treatment [51,52].…”

The musculoskeletal system can be affected by diabetes in a number of ways. The shoulder is one of the frequently affected sites. One of the rheumatic conditions caused by diabetes is frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), which is characterized by pain and severe limited active and passive range of motion of the glenohumeral joint, particularly external rotation. This disorder has a clinical diagnosis and the treatment is based on physiotherapy, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroid injections and, in refractory cases, surgical resolution. As with adhesive capsulitis, calcific periarthritis of the shoulder causes pain and limited joint mobility, although usually it has a better prognosis than frozen shoulder. Reflex sympathetic dystrophy, also known as shoulder-hand syndrome, is a painful syndrome associated with vasomotor and sudomotor changes in the affected member. Diabetic amyotrophy usually affects the peripheral nerves of lower limbs. However, when symptoms involve the shoulder girdle, it must be considered in the differential diagnosis of shoulder painful conditions. Osteoarthritis is the most common rheumatic condition. There are many risk factors for shoulder osteoarthritis including age, genetics, sex, weight, joint infection, history of shoulder dislocation, and previous injury, in older age patients, diabetes is a risk factor for shoulder OA. Treatment options include acetaminophen, NSAIDs, short term opiate, glucosamine and chondroitin. Corticosteroid injections and/or injections of hyaluronans could also be considered. Patients with continued disabling pain that is not responsive to conservative measures may require surgical referral. The present review will focus on practice points of view about shoulder manifestations in patients with diabetes.

In February 2009 a major case of scientific misconduct was discovered. The American pain researcher Dr. S. Reuben had published 21 papers over a period of 15 years that were found to be fraudulent. Suddenly many advances in postoperative pain therapy which had been assumed to be correct seemed questionable. In this review article the lessons which can be learnt from this case are described. This review also reveals that it is almost impossible for reviewers or readers of scientific journals to detect scientific fraud. However, several warning signs can be identified that might be useful when reading clinical papers. In retrospect many of these signs were detectable in Reuben's studies. Based on the fraudulent papers of Reuben it will be shown how and to what extent falsified results can affect other types of literature, such as practice guidelines, meta-analyses, review articles and oral presentations.
