This study looked at 82 adults who had hip surgery and received a special nerve block (PENG block) for pain. Researchers compared giving the pain medicine as a steady drip versus giving it as a larger dose every 4 hours. The goal was to see which method reduces pain, lowers opioi…

This study tested two different ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after breast removal surgery (mastectomy) in 88 women aged 40-65. The blocks are numbing injections near the chest muscles or spine. Researchers measured pain levels and the ne…

This study looked at whether a nerve block called the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) can help manage pain after robotic colorectal surgery. 70 adults having surgery for cancer were included. The goal was to see if the block reduces the need for painkillers and improves recover…

This study tested if a single session of laser treatment right after gum graft surgery can reduce pain and help the wound heal faster. 36 healthy adults took part. Half got the laser plus standard care, the other half got standard care alone. Researchers measured pain, painkiller…

This study looked at 60 adults having laparoscopic upper abdominal surgery to compare two methods of delivering a pain block: one guided by ultrasound and the other by the surgical camera. The goal was to see which approach better reduces pain and the need for extra painkillers i…

This study tested two methods to control pain after chest surgery in 102 obese patients. One group received a numbing injection near the spine (nerve block), while the other got pain medicine through an IV. The goal was to see which approach worked better and was safer for this s…

This study tested three different nerve blocks to see which one provides the best pain relief after video-assisted lung surgery. Forty-five adults having lung biopsies or wedge resections received one of the blocks. Researchers measured pain scores and how much extra painkiller p…

This study tested a new medicine called HSK21542 to see if it can safely reduce pain after hip replacement surgery. About 160 adults were randomly assigned to receive HSK21542, morphine, or a placebo. The main goal was to measure how well each treatment lowered pain intensity ove…

This study looked at 94 women having major abdominal surgery for gynecologic cancers to see which pain-relieving nerve block combination works best. Researchers compared a standard block (TAP) alone versus TAP combined with either a quadratus lumborum block or a rectus sheath blo…

This study tested whether adding two extra nerve blocks to a standard one can better control pain from chest drains after heart surgery. 180 adults having planned heart surgery through the breastbone took part. The goal was to see if these extra blocks reduce pain at the drain si…

This study looked at two types of nerve blocks to control pain after knee arthroscopy. Fifty adults having knee surgery were given either a standard block or a combined block. The goal was to see which method reduces pain, lowers the need for painkillers, and improves recovery.

This study tested whether ketamine or magnesium sulphate provides better pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. 78 adults were randomly assigned to receive one of the two drugs during surgery. Pain levels were measured at 1, 6, 12, and 24 hours after the procedure. T…

This study tested whether injecting a local anesthetic (bupivacaine) into the vaginal cuff during vaginal hysterectomy reduces postoperative pain. 48 women having the surgery for non-cancer reasons were randomly assigned to receive the injection or standard care. Pain levels were…

This study tested whether avoiding opioids during gallbladder surgery could improve recovery. 101 adults having laparoscopic gallbladder removal were randomly assigned to receive either opioid-free anesthesia (using lidocaine and dexmedetomidine) or standard opioid-based anesthes…

This study tested two different nerve blocks to see which one works better for pain after lung surgery. Forty adults having a type of keyhole lung surgery took part. The goal was to find the most effective way to keep patients comfortable after the operation.

This study tested two common drugs, lidocaine and magnesium sulfate, to see which one works better for pain after gallbladder removal surgery. 168 adults were split into two groups and received one of the drugs during surgery. Their pain levels were checked at several points over…

This study tested whether adding dexmedetomidine to the numbing drug bupivacaine, placed inside the belly during gallbladder surgery, could improve pain control. Thirty adults having laparoscopic gallbladder removal were randomly assigned to receive either bupivacaine alone or bu…

This study tested two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after hip fracture surgery in people aged 65 and older. The blocks are given before surgery to reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers. Researchers measured pain levels, how soon pati…
