Randomized Controlled Trial
The relationship between the level of μ-opioid receptor (μORs) and postoperative analgesic use in patients undergoing septoplasty: a prospective randomized controlled trial.
In this study, the μ-Opioid receptor activity was assessed pre-operatively for its association with postoperative pain level and second analgesic requirement in patients undergoing septoplasty. ⋯ Our study demonstrates that patients with higher μOR levels have a higher efficacy of opioid analgesic agents and an lesser need for additional analgesic agents.

Efficacy of different dose of dexmedetomidine combined with remifentanil in colonoscopy: a randomized controlled trial.
Dexmedetomidine has advantages during colonoscopy as it allows the patient to cooperate during the procedure. Few studies examined the dexmedetomidine-remifentanil combination. This study was to evaluate the effects of different doses of the dexmedetomidine-remifentanil combination in colonoscopy. ⋯ Dexmedetomidine 0.3 μg·kg- 1 combined with remifentanil was effective for colonoscopy and had few adverse reactions. Chinese Clinical Trial Registry: ChiCTR2000029105 , Registered 13 January 2020 - Retrospectively registered.

What is the optimal regimen for intravenous dexamethasone administration in primary total hip arthroplasty?: A protocol of randomized controlled trial.
A number of recent studies have investigated the optimal dosage and timing of dexamethasone in total hip arthroplasty (THA) but have inconsistent findings. Therefore, we designed the randomized controlled research to look for the optimal intravenous dexamethasone dose for the treatment of early postoperative pain after the THA. ⋯ We assumed that the patients who received 3 doses of dexamethasone intravenously possessed the best postoperative results compared to those who received 1 or 2 doses of the dexamethasone.

Surgery is the most common and effective therapy for anal fistula, while the postoperative complication, such as pain, edema, pruritus, turgescence, and exudation in surgical wound, can have serious impact on wound healing and patients' quality of life. Chinese herbal fumigant and lotion have been commonly used in postoperative treatment and achieved satisfied effect in China. However, clinical evidence-based literature of Chinese herbal fumigant and lotion for postoperative anal fistula is not sufficient. This protocol is described for a systematic review to investigate the beneficial effects. ⋯ CRD42020164975.

Clinical study on improving postoperative symptoms of cervical spondylotic myelopathy by Qishe pill.
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is the most serious type of cervical spondylosis, which is often treated surgically in patients with progressive neurological symptoms following ineffective conservative treatment. However, some patients have residual symptoms such as neck pain, stiffness, and C5 nerve palsy after surgery. The Qishe pill can effectively relieve the symptoms of neck pain and numbness, but there is no evidence showing the efficacy and safety of the Qishe pill in treating symptoms after spinal cord surgery. ⋯ Although the Qishe pill can effectively improve the discomfort of the neck and upper limbs in clinical applications, there is a lack of clinical research on postoperative patients. This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of the Qishe pill in treating postoperative symptoms of CSM.
