Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Postoperative analgesia in children after propofol versus sevoflurane anesthesia.
Postoperative analgesia remains a problem, especially in pediatric patients. We hypothesize that patients anesthetized with sevoflurane have more postoperative pain than with propofol. ⋯ In children, anesthesia maintenance with propofol was associated with a significantly lower incidence of postoperative pain than with sevoflurane.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of transdiscal radiofrequency, biacuplasty for treatment of discogenic lower back pain.
The aim was to compare the efficacy of intradiscal biacuplasty (IDB) with that of placebo treatment for discogenic low back pain. ⋯ The results suggest that the clinical benefits observed in this study are the result of non-placebo treatment effects afforded by IDB. IDB should be recommended to select the patients with chronic discogenic low back pain. (Clinicaltrials.gov number, NCT00750191.).
