Abstract
Ovariohysterectomy (OHE) is a common surgical procedure in small animals that causes significant postoperative pain. Tuning Element Relief Patches (TERPs) are silicone patches containing titanium salts, believed to relieve pain by resonating pain-related ion channels. In this experiment, 12 dogs undergoing OHE surgery received subcutaneous robenacoxib (group R, [Formula: see text]) injection or two sheets of TERPs (group T, [Formula: see text]) as postoperative analgesia to assess the analgesic effect of TERPs. The results demonstrated no significant differences in physiological parameters, pain scores and mechanical nociceptive thresholds (MNTs) between groups postoperatively, indicating that the TERPs provide comparable results to robenacoxib in managing postoperative pain in dogs undergoing OHE. While this study provides evidence of the pain-relieving effects of TERPs, further studies are required to evaluate their long-term safety and efficacy in various clinical conditions.
