Randomized Controlled Trial
The Analgesic Efficacy of Pecto-Intercostal Fascial Block Combined with Pectoral Nerve Block in Modified Radical Mastectomy: A Prospective Randomized Trial.
Pectoral nerve (Pecs) block is one of the most promising regional analgesic techniques for breast surgery. However, Pecs II block may not provide analgesia of the medial aspect of the breast or the entire nipple-areolar complex. ⋯ The combination of Pecs II and PIFB provide better perioperative analgesia for MRM than Pecs II alone.

Randomized Controlled TrialTransmuscular quadratus lumborum block for percutaneous nephrolithotomy: study protocol for a dose-finding trial.
The objective of this trial is to optimize the transmuscular quadratus lumborum (TQL) block, by investigating the minimal effective volume (MEV90 ) of ropivacaine 0.75% for single-shot TQL block in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) patients. ⋯ Recruiting will begin June 2020 and is expected to finish November 2020. Data analysis will be performed at interims during and after the study. Results will be published in an international peer-reviewed medical journal.
