Randomized Controlled Trial
[Efficacy of intravenous dexketoprofen trometamol compared to intravenous paracetamol for postoperative pain management after day-case operative hysteroscopy: randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study].
Adequate pain management following day-case surgery allows early ambulation of patients. In this study, we aimed to compare postoperative analgesic efficacy of intravenous (iv) dexketoprofen vs. iv paracetamol following day-case operative hysteroscopy. ⋯ Our study demonstrated that iv dexketoprofen has superior efficacy for postoperative pain management following day-case operative hysteroscopy when compared with paracetamol and placebo.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Comparison the effects of prilocaine and the addition of dexketoprofen and dexamethasone to prilocaine for intravenous regional anesthesia].
The aim of this study was to compare the anesthetic and analgesic effects of prilocaine alone, prilocaine added dexketoprofen and dexamethasone during intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA). ⋯ The addition of dexketoprofen and dexamethasone to prilocaine during IVRA improves the quality of both anesthesia and analgesia moreover dexketoprofen provides beter postoperative analgesia during the first 24 hour after surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Effect of intravenous dexketoprofen use on postoperative analgesic consumption in patients with lumbar disc surgery].
The objective of this study was to evaluate the postoperative analgesic effect of a preemptive, single-dose intravenous dexketoprofen administration in patients undergoing lumbar microdiscectomy. ⋯ Single-dose preemptive intravenous dexketoprofen provides effective analgesia especially in the first 8 postoperative hours, reducing tramadol use.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Effects of a thoracic paravertebral block on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy].
Following mastectomy, 50% of patients have chronic postoperative pain. Studies have shown that a paravertebral block is an effective method of analgesia as well as anaesthesia. The aim of this study is to compare postoperative pain values and opioid consumption after a single dose of 150 mg levobupivacaine with a thoracic paravertebral block in patients undergoing mastectomy. ⋯ A paravertebral block with a single dose of 150 mg levobupivacaine before general anaesthesia in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection decreases postoperative pain values and the need for analgesics during the postoperative 24 hours.

We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of subcutaneously implanted epidural ports (SIEP) in the management of patients with advanced-stage gynecologic cancer-related severe chronic pain who do not respond to intravenous tramadol infusion, transdermal fentanyl, and oral morphine administration or who cannot tolerate the unacceptable and unmanageable side effects of these drugs. ⋯ Morphine administration via SIEP provided excellent pain relief without creating side effects, increased patient quality of life, and contributed to the patient's ability to enjoy life.
