  • Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Mavacoxib and Carprofen in The
    Paper Paper Comparative efficacy and safety of mavacoxib and carprofen in the treatment of canine osteoarthritis M Payne-Johnson, C Becskei, Y Chaudhry, M R Stegemann A multi-site, masked, randomised parallel group study employing a double dummy treatment design was performed in canine veterinary patients to determine the comparative efficacy and safety of mavacoxib and carprofen in the treatment of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis for a period of 134 days. Treatments were administered according to their respective summaries of product characteristics. Of 139 dogs screened, 124 were suitable for study participation: 62 of which were dosed with mavacoxib and 62 with carprofen. Both treatments resulted in a very similar pattern of considerable improvement as indicated in all parameters assessed by both owner and veterinarian. The primary efficacy endpoint ‘overall improvement’ was a composite score of owner assessments after approximately six weeks of treatment. Both drugs were remarkably effective, with 57/61 (93.4 per cent) of mavacoxib-treated dogs and 49/55 (89.1 per cent) of carprofen-treated dogs demonstrating overall improvement and with mavacoxib’sefficacy being non-inferior to carprofen. The treatments had a similar safety profile as evidenced by documented adverse events and summaries of clinical pathology parameters. The positive clinical response to treatment along with the safety and dosing regimen of mavacoxib makes it an attractive therapy for canine osteoarthritis. Introduction convert arachidonic acid into prostaglandin H2, from which a Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterised by a degenerative, progres- series of prostanoids is derived; this can result in sensitisation of sive and irreversible deterioration of joints resulting in a nociceptive neurone terminals and with repeated stimulation decreased range of motion, pain, joint swelling and crepitus.

  • A Review of the Effects of Pain and Analgesia on Immune System Function and Inflammation: Relevance for Preclinical Studies
    Comparative Medicine Vol 69, No 6 Copyright 2019 December 2019 by the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science Pages 520–534 Overview A Review of the Effects of Pain and Analgesia on Immune System Function and Inflammation: Relevance for Preclinical Studies George J DeMarco1* and Elizabeth A Nunamaker2 One of the most significant challenges facing investigators, laboratory animal veterinarians, and IACUCs, is how to bal- ance appropriate analgesic use, animal welfare, and analgesic impact on experimental results. This is particularly true for in vivo studies on immune system function and inflammatory disease. Often times the effects of analgesic drugs on a particu- lar immune function or model are incomplete or don’t exist. Further complicating the picture is evidence of the very tight integration and bidirectional functionality between the immune system and branches of the nervous system involved in nociception and pain. These relationships have advanced the concept of understanding pain as a protective neuroimmune function and recognizing pathologic pain as a neuroimmune disease. This review strives to summarize extant literature on the effects of pain and analgesia on immune system function and inflammation in the context of preclinical in vivo studies. The authors hope this work will help to guide selection of analgesics for preclinical studies of inflammatory disease and immune system function.

When pain recognition and quantification abilities were used as a perceived competence of proper pain assessment, only 83/131 (63.4%, confidence interval (CI) 0.55–0.72) were deemed to have satisfactory skills, with the rest considered to be deficient. There were 49/131 (37.4) veterinarians who had participated in continuing education programs and were more confident assessing pain, with an odds ratio ( standard error) of 2.84 1.15 (p = 0.01; CI 1.27–6.32). In addition, the odds of using ± ± pain scales was 4.28 2.17 (p < 0.01, CI 1.58–11.55) greater if they had also participated in continuing ± education programs. The term multimodal analgesia was familiar to 77 (58.7%) veterinarians who also claimed to use more than one approach to pain control.
