This study looked at 87 adults with a spine condition called isthmic spondylolisthesis, where one vertebra slips forward. They all had a two-part surgery to fuse the bones together. The results showed the surgery is safe and helps restore normal spine shape and nerve space.

This study tested whether a special conversation guide and decision-support tool in electronic health records could help adults manage pain and improve physical function after surgery without relying on drugs. Over 81,000 adults having surgery at participating hospitals took part…

This study looked at two ways to manage pain after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The standard nerve block can sometimes cause temporary diaphragm paralysis, making breathing harder. The new block targets different nerves and may avoid that problem. Researchers tested it in 60 ad…

This study looked at two types of pain blocks (TFP and QLB) given to children aged 3-7 during lower belly surgery. The goal was to see which block better controls pain and reduces the need for extra pain medicine. 66 children took part, and researchers measured pain scores and ho…

This study looked at whether taking a laxative before surgery can make bowel movements less uncomfortable after pelvic prolapse repair. 74 women having minimally invasive surgery were asked to take a laxative either before and after surgery or only after. The goal was to see if t…

This study compared two different nerve block techniques for pain relief after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Researchers tested whether a newer combination nerve block could provide similar pain relief as the standard method while avoiding a common side effect that can temporari…

This study tested a medical device that automatically gives a pain medicine (remifentanil) during surgery, based on the patient's heart rate, blood pressure, and a pain index. 52 adults having burn surgery took part. The goal was to see if the device could reduce the total amount…

This study looked at how well surgical teams and patients use a non-drug pain management program called NOHARM after surgery. Researchers interviewed 372 patients and care team members to understand what helps or hinders the use of these pain relief methods. The goal was to learn…
