“…Recent study in 62 volunteers demonstrated that a treatment of 1,200 mg/day of Sahasthara for 7 days is comparable to 75 mg/day of diclofenac for 7 days in relieving muscle pain [8]. Moreover, black pepper has been used as an ingredient in topical formulation in many studies, such as topical emulgel for antiaging [9], topical preparation for catheter insertion success [10], and film forming transdermal delivery formulation [11]. P.nigrum is shown to have good potential in both food and medicinal purposes.…”

Piper nigrum L. or black pepper is a well-known spice which is also used in herbal medicine. It has been used as a single herb and in a formula to treat many conditions such as muscle pain. This study develops a transdermal patch using natural rubber latex as a base and infused with P.nigrum extract. The physicochemical properties of the prepared patches were optimized with the addition of plasticizers, which are dibutyl phthalate, polyethylene glycol 400 and glycerin. The efficiency of the transdermal patches was evaluated by measuring the releasing profile of piperine, the main active component of P.nigrum. Other physical characteristics were measured by the tensile strength, moisture uptake, swelling rate and erosion rate. In conclusion, the formulation with the additives of dibutyl phthalate and glycerin showed good piperine release profile and mechanical properties.

“…All of the procedures were carried out in the same examination the direction of venous flow, isometric arm exercise, fist clenching, local heat application to the site, and changing patient position. [6][7][8][9] Among these techniques, fist clenching makes the veins more prominent and helps ease catheter placement. 9 In fist clenching, the power generated by the muscular contraction resulting from cyclic opening and closing of an individual's palm increases arterial blood flow, consequently providing venous return.…”

“…Therefore, techniques that improve the visibility and palpability of veins are indispensable for successful catheter insertion. Many methods are used to increase vein visibility, such as tourniquet application, holding the arm below the heart level, massaging in the direction of venous flow, isometric arm exercise, fist clenching, local heat application to the site, and changing patient position 6–9. Among these techniques, fist clenching makes the veins more prominent and helps ease catheter placement 9…”

No information exists on the minimum number of times that fist clenching should be performed to increase vein visibility and palpability. In this study, the researchers aimed to determine the average number and duration of fist clenching to increase vein visibility and palpability before peripheral intravenous catheter insertion. This observational study included 207 healthy individuals. Participants meeting the inclusion criteria were asked to perform fist clenching. The number and duration of fist clenches performed to increase dorsal metacarpal vein and cephalic vein grade were determined. The participants carried out fist clenching 7.57 ± 4.26 times for the first increase and 22.16 ± 7.93 times for the second increase in dorsal metacarpal vein grade. Fist clenching was carried out 10.05 ± 7.30 times for the first increase and 21.30 ± 7.86 times for the second increase in cephalic vein visibility. A statistically significant, weak, but positive relationship was observed between the duration of fist clenching and the change in dorsal metacarpal vein grade and anxiety level (r = 0.194, P < .005). However, the relationship was negative between room temperature and the duration of fist clenching in dorsal metacarpal vein grade (r = –0.207, P = .003). This inexpensive and simple technique should be performed in specified numbers before catheter insertion.

“…Additionally, studies have suggested that inhaled black pepper oil may improve postural stability in older adults by reducing the velocities of posture adjustments [ 31 ] and the sensory and reflexive motor movement of swallowing via activation of the right insular cortex in patients with dysphagia [ 32 , 33 ]. Two studies reported the effect of topically applied black pepper essential oil for enhancing vein visibility in patients, thus aiding easy intravenous catheter insertion [ 34 , 35 ].…”

Background Black pepper is one of the most popular spices globally. As black pepper essential oil has not yet been used in the context of aromatherapy, this study examined the effect of black pepper aroma on cardiac and peripheral autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity under stressful conditions using an olfactometer to administer aroma in a precise and controlled manner to ensure reproducibility. Methods A within-participant design experiment was conducted with 20 male university students who performed a 30-min calculation task as a short-term stressor under three aroma conditions: black pepper, ginger, and dipropylene glycol (DPG) (scentless air as a control). Each aroma was sporadically delivered (first 20 s of each 1-min interval) with the olfactometer during the task. Electrocardiograms and skin conductance level (SCL) were measured to evaluate ANS's physiological acute stress response. Subjective evaluations for the given stressful task and impressions on the types of aromas were assessed. Results The physiological acute stress response induced by the short-term stressor, which is characterized by the enhancement of the heart rate (HR) and SCL and decreases in the heart rate variability (HRV), was suppressed with black pepper: the increase in HR and reduction in HRV from the baseline were 38.9% (p = 0.048 when compared with DPG) and 32.9% smaller (p = 0.002 for multiple comparisons) than those in DPG, respectively, and the increase of SCL was 15.5% smaller (p = 0.005 for multiple comparisons) than that in ginger. However, there was no significant difference in subjective scores among the conditions. Conclusion Although black pepper is a stimulative agent, the study findings showed that black pepper aroma alleviated the physiological acute stress response, which can be beneficial in aromatherapy under stressful conditions.
