POSTOPERATIVE ANALGESIA

This study tested two different nerve block methods to control pain after nose reshaping surgery (septorhinoplasty). 93 adults received either a block near the eye socket or a block through the nose. Researchers measured pain scores, agitation, and side effects to find which appr…

This study tested a special nerve block (EXORA) to see if it reduces pain and the need for morphine after umbilical hernia repair. Fifty adults having hernia surgery received either the block or standard care. The main goal was to measure total morphine use and how quickly patien…

This study looked at 30 boys aged 1-8 years having hypospadias repair surgery. They received either a caudal block (near the tailbone) or a dorsal penile nerve block (near the penis) for pain relief. The caudal block worked better in the first few hours after surgery and reduced …

This study looked at two different nerve block techniques to reduce pain after keyhole gallbladder surgery. Sixty adults were randomly assigned to receive either an erector spinae plane block or a subcostal transversus abdominis plane block. The goal was to see which method provi…

This study looked at whether giving dexamethasone or ibuprofen before a nerve block can help people feel less pain after hand or forearm surgery. 79 adults took part. The goal was to see which drug keeps pain away longer and whether either reduces nausea and vomiting after surger…

This study tested two different ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to control pain after open kidney surgery. 70 adults were randomly assigned to receive either a subtransverse interligamentary block or a thoracic paravertebral block. The goal was to see which method reduces the need…

This study looked at adding dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine for a nerve block after C-section. 80 pregnant women received the block after spinal anesthesia. The goal was to see if the addition would make pain relief last longer, reduce recovery time, and lower the …

This study looked at 60 adults having heart bypass surgery to compare two different nerve block techniques for pain control. One group received a deep and superficial chest wall block, while the other got a combination of two deeper blocks. Researchers measured pain scores, paink…

This study looked at 40 adults who had open kidney surgery to see which pain-blocking injection works better. One group got an external oblique intercostal plane (EOIP) block, and the other got a transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block. Researchers measured how much extra pain me…

This study looked at 117 women having planned cesarean sections to compare two pain relief methods. One group received morphine during spinal anesthesia, while the other got a nerve block instead. Researchers measured pain levels, patient satisfaction, and side effects after surg…

This study tested two different ultrasound-guided pain blocks in 40 children undergoing open kidney surgery. The goal was to see which block delays the need for extra morphine and reduces overall pain. Results help doctors choose the best technique for safer, more comfortable rec…

This study tested two ways to control pain in 50 children (ages 1-7) after hernia surgery. One method used an ultrasound-guided injection near the belly muscles, the other a shot near the tailbone. Researchers measured how long until kids needed extra pain medicine and how much t…

This study looked at 60 women having planned C-sections to compare two pain relief methods: giving morphine through the spinal needle versus a numbing injection into the belly wall using ultrasound guidance. The main goal was to see which approach better reduced the need for extr…

This study tested two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks—edge of laminar block (ELB) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB)—for pain after video-assisted chest surgery. 70 adults were randomly assigned to one block. The goal was to see which block reduces the need for morphine and del…

This study tested two methods to control pain after a total abdominal hysterectomy: an ultrasound-guided nerve block (TFP block) and morphine given via spinal injection. Sixty women participated, and researchers measured how long until they needed extra pain medicine and how much…
