The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness of laser application in temporomandibular joint disorder. ⋯ TMD patients suffer with continuous pain for long time even after conventional treatment. Laser therapy shows a promising outcome of pain reduction for TMD patients. Therefore, laser therapy can be recommended for the TMD patients' better outcome. This trial is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020177562).

Integration of Different Sensory Interventions From Mother's Breast Milk for Preterm Infant Pain During Peripheral Venipuncture Procedures: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.
To compare the effects of integrating mother's breast milk (BM) with three different combinations of sensory stimuli on preterm infant pain during peripheral venipuncture procedures. ⋯ Clinicians should incorporate the integrated sensory intervention into caregiving support for preterm infants undergoing short painful procedures.

Primary V1 trigeminal neuralgia is a common refractory neuralgia in clinical practice, lacking effective treatments. Radiofrequency therapy has certain treatment efficacy, but its long-term efficacy remained poor and the disease might relapse. ⋯ The short- and long-term effective rates of radiofrequency therapy during V1 trigeminal neuralgia treatment are relatively high in patients with different types of supraorbital foramen variations. However, the effective rate is even higher in patients with hole-type supraorbital foramen. No other severe complications, except numbness, were found, and the acceptability rate remained high in patients.

Recommendations for Opioid Prescribing after Endourological and Minimally Invasive Urological Surgery: An Expert Panel Consensus.
Opioids are frequently overprescribed after surgery. The 2018 AUA position statement on opioid use suggests using the lowest dose and potency to achieve pain control but the lack of procedure specific prescribing guidelines contributes to wide variation in prescribing patterns. To address this gap we aimed to develop opioid prescribing recommendations through an expert panel consensus. ⋯ Procedure specific guidelines for postoperative opioid prescribing may help align individual urologist prescribing habits with consensus recommendations. These guidelines can aid quality improvement efforts to reduce overprescribing in urology.
