REGIONAL ANAESTHESIA

This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block (erector spinae plane block) can reduce pain and the need for morphine after percutaneous nephrolithotomy, a surgery to remove large kidney stones. Fifty-six adults undergoing elective surgery will be randomly assigned to …

This study looked at 60 adults having single-level lower back surgery to compare two pain relief methods: a newer ultrasound-guided nerve block (QIPB) and the standard wound injection. The goal was to see which approach better reduces pain and the need for opioid painkillers in t…

This study tested two methods of giving a TAP block, a pain-numbing injection for the belly wall, after laparoscopic surgery. One method used ultrasound guidance by an anesthesiologist; the other used surgical landmarks during the operation. The goal was to see if they provide si…

This study looked at 113 adults who had major lung surgery with a video camera. It compared a newer pain-blocking method (erector spinae plane block) with two older methods (spinal morphine and nerve blocks). The goal was to see which one worked best for pain and reduced the need…

This study compared two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks—pericapsular nerve group block and quadratus lumborum block—for pain relief when positioning hip fracture patients for spinal anesthesia. 42 adults were randomly assigned to one block. Researchers measured pain scores, need f…

This study tested a new nerve block (QLESP) against a standard local injection (PAI) for pain relief after total hip replacement. 68 adults aged 18-65 were enrolled. The goal was to see which method reduces opioid use and improves recovery. The new block aims to provide better pa…

This study observed 318 adults having leg surgery to find out what factors help make spinal anesthesia work on only the operated side. The goal is to reduce side effects like low blood pressure. Researchers looked at patient age, weight, position, and injection technique to impro…

This study looked at 40 adults undergoing radiofrequency ablation for varicose veins to compare two types of regional anesthesia: spinal anesthesia and a fascia iliaca block. The goal was to see which method leads to better recovery quality, less pain, and faster mobility after t…

This study looked at how well pain is managed in children right after surgery. Researchers watched 219 kids aged 0-18 years during their first hour in recovery, using pain scales suited to each age group. The goal was simply to measure how often standard care keeps pain scores lo…
