Meta Analysis
Administration with corticosteroid relieving pain following total knee arthroplasty: A meta-analysis.
This meta-analysis compares the effectiveness of corticosteroid in relieving pain and inflammation in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. ⋯ Compared to the control group, intraoperative corticosteroid was benefit to the pain management in TKA. However, more high-quality studies are still warranted to further validate our findings, considering there are several limitations in this meta-analysis.

In clinical practices, postoperative fracture patients are often treated with analgesics. As one of the alternative therapies for nondrug analgesia, auricular point pressing has advantages of simple operation, easy to use, no injury and adverse reactions, and great potential for development. In this study, the effect of auricular point pressing therapy on postoperative pain of fracture was objectively evaluated through the method of meta-analysis, so as to provide evidence for clinical applications. ⋯ DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/AZ4JQ.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Paravertebral block reduces pain in elderly patients with percutaneous nephrolithotomy: A randomized controlled study protocol.
To assess the effectiveness of paravertebral block for the percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) patients. ⋯ In comparison with traditional analgesia, the ultrasound-guided paraventric block is an effective analgesic approach in PCNL, and no additional complications are encountered.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of different epidural initiation volumes on postoperative analgesia in cesarean section.
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different epidural initiation volumes on postoperative pain scores, analgesic requirements, and side effects in pregnant women administered patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) for postoperative pain after cesarean sections. ⋯ The PCEA initiations with different volumes provided similar pain scores. However, the 20 mL volume resulted in a lower analgesic dose requirement during the early postoperative period, and it also delayed the requirement for analgesia.

Review Case ReportsReview of Ilioinguinal Nerve Blocks for Ilioinguinal Neuralgia Post Hernia Surgery.
The purpose of this review is to evaluate the current evidence on ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal nerve blocks for ilioinguinal neuralgia post hernia surgery. ⋯ A total of six studies were identified with suitable data for inclusion. Three studies were retrospective, two studies were prospective, and one study was a randomized controlled trial. A total of 133 subjects were enrolled across these studies. Approximately 55-70% had a beneficial analgesic response to treatment. No major complications were reported in these studies. Ultrasound- and landmark-based ilioinguinal nerve blocks are safe and effective for pain relief post inguinal hernia surgery. Although there were two studies that did not show a statically significant difference in both techniques, the ultrasound-guided injection has the advantage of direct visualization of pathology, more accurate needle placement, and decreased risks of intravascular injections.
