Randomized Controlled Trial
Moist exposed burn therapy in recovery of patients with immature, red hypertrophic scars successfully treated with a pulsed dye laser in combination with a fractional CO2 laser.
The efficacy of pulsed dye laser combined (PDL) and UltraPulse fractional CO2 in treatment of hypertrophic scars is well documented. The present study investigates the efficacy of moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO)/moist exposed burn therapy (MEBT) in postlaser wound management. ⋯ MEBT/MEBO treatment reduced the post-treatment pain, shortened the wound healing duration, promoted the overall scar condition, and reduced the incidence of pigmentation.

Pectus excavatum is a common chest wall deformity amenable to surgical correction, most commonly by a technique known as the Nuss Procedure. The surgery is associated with significant postoperative pain and lengthy hospital stays. We hypothesized that a standardized enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway would result in significantly reduced length of stay (LOS) and reduced levels of postoperative pain without an increase in readmissions or emergency department (ED) visits. ⋯ Level III.

Local infiltration analgesia (LIA) has become popular in postoperative pain relief after total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy and safety of LIA with intrathecal morphine and epidural analgesia after THA and TKA. ⋯ LIA provided better postoperative pain control and less adverse events than intrathecal morphine and epidural analgesia after THA and TKA.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Retracted Publication
The 95% effective dose of nalbuphine in patient-controlled intravenous analgesia for patients undergoing laparoscopic total hysterectomy compared to equivalent sufentanil.
To evaluate the 95% effective dose of nalbuphine in patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) by the sequential method and compare the analgesia efficacy with the equivalent dose of sufentanil on patients undergoing laparoscopic total hysterectomy. ⋯ Nalbuphine 1.78 mg/kg in PCIA is recommended for the patients undergoing laparoscopic total hysterectomy. And nalbuphine is a reasonable alternative to sufentanil when used in PCIA.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Proximal versus distal adductor canal blocks for total knee arthroplasty: A protocol for randomized controlled trial.
Currently, there remains a paucity of literature about the efficiency of proximal adductor canal block (PACB) versus distal adductor canal block (DACB) for pain management after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study is to perform a randomized controlled trial to compare the efficiency of PACB versus DACB for early postoperative pain treatment after TKA. ⋯ This clinical trial is expected to provide evidence of whether the PACB and DACB provide similar analgesia after TKA.
