Randomized Controlled Trial
Ultrasound guidance combined with C-arm fluoroscopy in selective semilunar ganglion radiofrequency thermocoagulation through foramen ovale for trigeminal neuralgia: A randomized controlled trial.
To explore the clinical value of ultrasound guidance combined with C-arm guidance during selective semilunar ganglion radiofrequency thermocoagulation via the foramen ovale for trigeminal neuralgia. ⋯ Ultrasound guidance combined with C-arm guidance could be safely used for puncturing the semilunar ganglion via the foramen ovale, with more efficiency and less radiation exposure than C-arm guidance alone.

Approximately one in four total knee replacement patients develop persistent pain. Identification of those at higher risk could help inform optimal management. ⋯ Rigorously conducted observational studies are required to establish the relative importance of higher levels of peri-operative pain and pain catastrophizing with persistent pain after knee replacement surgery.

Fear-avoidance beliefs (FAB) have been associated with poorer prognosis and decreased adherence to exercise-based treatments in musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. However, the impact of high FAB on adherence and outcomes in upper extremity MSK (UEMSK) pain is poorly explored, particularly through exercise-based digital care programs (DCP). ⋯ This study provides evidence of the potential benefits of a structured and multimodal home-based DCP in the management of UEMSK pain conditions in patients with elevated FAB in a real-world context.
