Pain following a cesarean section is a significantly stressful experience, impeding women's fast recovery. Interventions such as hand and foot massage have been employed for pain management after cesarean sections, but their effectiveness remains undetermined. ⋯ This meta-analysis indicated that hand and foot massage are beneficial for pain and anxiety management among women following a cesarean section. Appropriate implementation in clinical practice was suggested at an early stage.

Morton's neuroma (MN) is one of the most frequent neurological pathologies in feet, affecting approximately 4% of the general population. The treatment of MN can be surgical, conservative, and infiltrative, with different substances used in the injections for MN, as steroids, sclerosing solutions, and others. This review aims to evaluate the efficacy of current infiltrative therapy for Morton's neuroma and, additionally, to define adverse effects of this therapy. ⋯ Corticosteroids, sclerosant injections, hyaluronic acid and capsaicin have been shown to be effective in reducing the pain related to MN.

Review Meta Analysis
Prevalence and Associated Factors of Postoperative Acute Pain for Mothers Who Gave Birth With Cesarean Section: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Cesarean section frequently is associated with different undesirable postoperative outcomes. Acute postoperative pain is one of the most frequently experienced adverse outcomes that occurs as the result of actual tissue damage. Previous studies have shown inconsistent results regarding the prevalence and predictors of acute postoperative pain. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the pooled prevalence and associated factors of postoperative pain after cesarean section. ⋯ The pooled prevalence of acute postoperative pain after cesarean section was high (58%), which needs more strategies for pain management. Incision length >10 centimeters, spinal anesthesia without adjuvants, general type of anesthesia, preoperative anxiety, and no peripheral nerve block were significantly associated with this prevalence.
