Randomized Controlled Trial
Vitamin C and catheter-related bladder discomfort after transurethral resection of bladder tumor: A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study.
We evaluated the effect of vitamin C administration on postoperative catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD). ⋯ Patients who received vitamin C had decreased CRBD and improved patient satisfaction following transurethral resection of bladder tumor.

We tested the hypothesis that pre-existing chronic pain is associated with prolonged time to reach sustained acceptable pain scores after major surgery. ⋯ Patients with chronic pain sustain more surgical pain than those without, and the pain takes longer to resolve. Clinicians providing postoperative pain management should consider the special needs of chronic pain patients.
