This study tested two types of nerve blocks to control pain after chest surgery. 180 adults having lung surgery were randomly given either a standard paravertebral block or a newer mid-point block. The goal was to see if the newer block could provide similar pain relief and reduc…

This study looked at 111 adults having lower back surgery to see which nerve block provides better pain relief: a caudal block or a quadratus lumborum plane (QLB) block. Both are ultrasound-guided injections that numb nerves to reduce pain after surgery. The main goal was to see …

This study tested a new type of nerve block called PENG to see if it helps people recover better after hip replacement surgery. Sixty adults having hip surgery under spinal anesthesia received either the PENG block or a standard block. The goal was to reduce pain and the need for…

This study tested two methods of giving a nerve block to control pain after lumbar spinal fusion surgery. 52 adults having elective surgery received either an ultrasound-guided or a surgeon-placed block using a mix of numbing medicine and a drug that prolongs pain relief. The goa…

This study tested three different nerve blocks to see which one works best for pain after shoulder surgery. Forty adults having shoulder surgery received one of the blocks, and their pain was measured using a simple 0-to-100 scale. The goal was to find a block that controls pain …

This study looked at whether giving extra oxygen through a small tube in the nose during anesthesia can prevent dangerously low oxygen levels in children having their tonsils and adenoids removed. The researchers measured oxygen levels in 140 children aged 3 to 10 years. The goal…
