Randomized Controlled Trial
I-FiBH trial: intravenous fluids in benign headaches-a randomised, single-blinded clinical trial.
Many emergency physicians use an intravenous fluid bolus as part of a 'cocktail' of therapies for patients with headache, but it is unclear if this is beneficial. The objective of this study was to determine if an intravenous fluid bolus helps reduce pain or improve other outcomes in patients who present to the ED with a benign headache. ⋯ Though our study lacked statistical power to detect small but clinically significant differences, ED patients who received an intravenous fluid bolus for their headache had similar improvements in pain and other outcomes compared with those who did not.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Atomized intranasal vs intravenous fentanyl in severe renal colic pain management: A randomized single-blinded clinical trial.
Renal colic is one of the most common painful disorders in patients referred to the emergency department. The main purpose of this study was to compare the efficiency of two methods of intravenous (IVF) and intranasal (INF) fentanyl administration in pain management in patients with severe renal colic. ⋯ Fentanyl is highly effective in controlling pain in patients with severe renal colic referring to the emergency department. Intranasal administration of fentanyl combination with ketorolac can be an appropriate, non-invasive, easy-to-use and fast alternative to the intravenous method to manage pain in these patients.

Immediate effects of the combination of interferential therapy parameters on chronic low back pain: a randomized controlled trial.
To compare the immediate analgesic effects of 2 kHz or 4 kHz interferential current (IFC) with different amplitude-modulated frequencies (AMFs) (2 Hz or 100 Hz) on chronic low back pain (CLBP). ⋯ RBR-59YGRB.

Contrast Medium Volume Needed to Reach Anterior Epidural Space via the Kambin Triangle or Subpedicular Approach for Transforaminal Epidural Injection.
Transforaminal (TF) lumbar injection is a commonly used minimally invasive intervention for management of chronic low back pain. TF injection can be performed using various approaches to inject the drug to the anterior epidural space (AES). ⋯ Transforaminal injection, subpedicular approach, Kambin triangle approach, contrast medium spread, anterior epidural spread.

The Effect of Soft Tissue Injury Cold Application Duration on Symptoms, Edema, Joint Mobility, and Patient Satisfaction: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of cold application time on symptoms, edema, and patient satisfaction in soft tissue injuries. ⋯ Our findings suggest that a duration of 20 minutes for cold application for a soft tissue ankle injury is recommended to maximize pain control, joint mobility, and patient satisfaction while decreasing other symptoms of discomfort.
