Comparative StudyComparison of ultrasound- and computed tomography-guided pulsed radiofrequency in treating ophthalmic branch postherpetic neuralgia: a retrospective study.
The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety between ultrasound- and computed tomography-guided pulsed radiofrequency in treating ophthalmic branch postherpetic neuralgia. ⋯ Both ultrasound- and computed tomography-guided supraorbital nerve pulsed radiofrequencys have good efficacy in treating the ophthalmic branch postherpetic neuralgia. Compared with the computed tomography-guided pulsed radiofrequency, the ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency has faster puncture operation and is safer. It is more worthy of clinical applications.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation Integrated into Pants for the Relief of Postoperative Pain in Hip Surgery Patients: A Randomized Trial.
The effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on pain and impression of change was assessed during a 2.5-hour intervention on the first postoperative days following hip surgery in a randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled trial involving 30 patients. ⋯ Mixed-frequency TENS integrated in pants could potentially be an interesting addition to the arsenal of treatments for multimodal analgesia following hip surgery. This trial is registered with NCT05678101.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyA novel comparison of erector spinae plane block and paravertebral block in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Erector spinae plane block is an updated method than paravertebral block, possessing a lower risk of complications. This study aimed to compare erector spinae plane and paravertebral blocks to safely reach the most efficacious analgesia procedure in laparoscopic cholecystectomy cases. ⋯ Sonography-guided-paravertebral block provides sufficient postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. Erector spinae plane seems to attenuate total tramadol consumption.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparison of the effect of intramuscular injection from two different sites on pain and fear in children: a randomized controlled study.
This study aims to compare vastus lateralis and ventrogluteal site utilizations concerning pain and fear in intramuscular injection in children between 4 and 6 years of age. ⋯ The results of the study showed that the choice of the ventrogluteal site in intramuscular injection in children between 4 and 6 years of age was effective in reducing pain, fear, and crying time.

The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and local anaesthetic infiltration (LAI) of port sites provide adequate analgesia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Little is known if the two techniques affect the day-case (DC) rate of LC. We tested the appropriateness of the research design in view of a larger randomised controlled trial (RCT) - laparoscopic-assisted right subcostal TAP block plus local anaesthetic wound infiltration (STALA) versus LAI. ⋯ The laparoscopically guided right subcostal TAP block provided no additional benefit to LAI on pain control after LC and DC rate. Despite the appropriate design, our findings do not support a larger RCT.
