Pupillary unrest in ambient light (PUAL), the normal pattern of pupil diameter fluctuation present in awake humans, has been proposed as a marker of central opioid effect. We report 2 cases in which PUAL identified the appropriate pain management for 2 patients, each with unique, challenging acute pain conditions. In both cases, PUAL accurately predicted opioid responsiveness, suggesting an effective, individualized analgesic approach for both patients.
环境光下的瞳孔波动(PUAL)是清醒人类中存在的正常瞳孔直径波动模式,已被提议作为中枢阿片类药物作用的标志物。我们报告了2例病例,其中PUAL为2名患者确定了合适的疼痛管理方案,每名患者都有独特且具有挑战性的急性疼痛情况。在这两例病例中,PUAL都准确预测了阿片类药物的反应性,为两名患者都提出了一种有效、个体化的镇痛方法。
