Randomized Controlled Trial
Combination of dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine as adjuvants of transversus abdominis plane block for postoperative analgesia in gastric cancer patients: A double-blinded randomized controlled trial.
We conducted this double-blinded randomized controlled trial to examine whether the combination of dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine as adjuvants of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block could improve analgesia efficacy and duration for gastric cancer patients. ⋯ The combination with dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine as adjuvants for TAP block reduced the incidence of moderate-to-severe pain and pain score both on movement and at rest at 24 h with prolonged duration to first rescue analgesia after gastric cancer surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Clinical study PEPCA : The effect of standardized preoperative patient education for patient-controlled regional analgesia on postoperative pain].
Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is a well-established form of postoperative pain management. One form of administration is patient-controlled regional analgesia (PCRA), where local anesthetics are administered via peripheral regional catheters; however, a prerequisite is that the patients are instructed on its use. A multitude of sources recommend that these instructions are given before surgery as preoperative training on pain management procedures has been shown to significantly reduce patients' postoperative pain and increase their well-being. ⋯ A significant reduction of pain in the IG could not be shown. Further studies concerning this topic with larger samples and adapted points in time are recommended.

Randomized Controlled Trial Pragmatic Clinical Trial
An Adaptive Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial of Emergency Department Acupuncture for Acute Musculoskeletal Pain Management.
Acute musculoskeletal pain in emergency department (ED) patients is frequently severe and challenging to treat with medications alone. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of adding ED acupuncture to treat acute episodes of musculoskeletal pain in the neck, back, and extremities. ⋯ ED acupuncture is feasible and acceptable and can reduce acute musculoskeletal pain better than UC alone.
