Randomized Controlled Trial
A comparison of ultrasound guided bilateral single injection shot Erector Spinae Plane blocks versus wound infiltration for post-operative analgesia in laparoscopic assisted colonic surgery- a prospective randomised study.
Both wound infiltration (WI) with local anaesthetic and Erector Spinae Plane block (ESPB) have been described for post-operative analgesia after abdominal surgery. This study compared the efficacy of WI versus ESPB for post-operative analgesia after laparoscopic assisted colonic surgery. ⋯ Our observations found both interventions had an overall similar efficacy.

Psoas compartment block efficacy and safety for perioperative analgesia in the elderly with proximal femur fractures: a randomized controlled study.
Proximal femur fractures are most common fractures in the elderly and associated with significant mortality and morbidity, with high economic and social impact. Perioperative pain management influence outcomes and mortality after surgery with early mobilization being possible. The goal of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of the psoas compartment block (PCB) with spinal and general anesthesia. ⋯ Perioperative PCB in elderly patients with a proximal femur fracture could be an effective analgesia technique, as it decrease the number of patients with severe pain, need for on demand analgesia and opioid consumption. PCB also decrease the incidence of opioid-associated nausea and vomiting, comparing to general anesthesia, and increase the number of patients, who was mobilized in the 1st day (sitting) and 2nd day (getting up) after surgery. PCB may reduce the incidence of MINS, although to assess this outcome more studies are needed.

Chronic pain is a common postsurgery symptom. It has an adverse impact on patients' overall wellbeing. Chronic pain after an operation is caused by intricate mechanisms that have not been well understood. The predictability of most surgical methods has enabled scholars to conduct randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving pharmacological interventions to prevent chronic pain after a surgery. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the curative effects of gabapentin to prevent chronic pain in adults after surgery. ⋯ The summary provided in this systematic review will judge whether gabapentin intervention is effective and feasible to prevent chronic pain in adults following surgery.Registration number: 10.17605/OSF.IO/XG4CK.

Effective postoperative analgesia is of great significance for postoperative rehabilitation. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the efficacy of corticosteroid on pain following total joint arthroplasty. ⋯ Compared to the control group, intraoperative corticosteroid was benefit to the pain management in total joint arthroplasty.
