Washington, D.C.-The drugs that are typically administered to reduce pain and cut awareness during surgery can now cause a certain level of increased pain and suffering after the surgery is over. A team of scientists and researchers working at Georgetown University Medical Center have found that anesthesia drugs that are considered noxious cause the neurons and receptors in the central nervous system to be not used during surgery. But their administration during surgery will often cause these areas to become hyper sensitive after surgery, causing the exact effect that they were attempting to defeat. This was a study that was commissioned by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the National Institute of health, and reveals that all of the commonly used drugs for surgery are likely to at times cause this hypersensitive condition in some patients. The assistance professor in pharmacology and the lead author of this new study, Gerard Ahern believes that these noxious drugs have this hidden negative after effect because of the way and the method that they interact with the nerve cell receptors in the Central nervous center. This new research is being reported in the June 23rd edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. ...
