This study examined whether giving sedation during steroid injections for chronic back pain changes how satisfied patients are, how much radiation they are exposed to, or the risk of complications. Researchers reviewed records from 201 adults who received the injection. The goal …

This study tested whether a Quadroiliac Plane (QIP) block can reduce the need for strong painkillers after femur fracture surgery. Thirty adults having hip surgery were randomly assigned to receive either the QIP block or standard care. Researchers measured total opioid use, pain…

This study tested a nerve block injection guided by ultrasound to treat long-term pain after shingles (postherpetic neuralgia). The treatment was given to 34 adults whose pain continued despite other medications. Researchers measured pain levels and quality of life before and aft…

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 two different ways to block a nerve in the shoulder using ultrasound guidance to treat long-lasting shoulder pain. 100 adults with pain that did not get better with standard treatments took part. The goal was to see which approach works better to reduce pain and…

This study tested whether a lidocaine spray applied to the cervix can reduce pain during intrauterine device (IUD) insertion. 90 women aged 18-45 who wanted an IUD took part. The goal was to see if this simple spray makes the routine procedure more comfortable.

This study compared two types of nerve blocks—Quadroiliac Plane Block and Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block—for pain relief after hip fracture surgery. Fifty-two adults were randomly assigned to receive one block after spinal anesthesia. Researchers measured pain levels and h…

This study tested whether intravenous (IV) lidocaine can help improve sleep and quality of life in people with fibromyalgia, a condition causing widespread pain and fatigue. Researchers followed 51 patients who had not responded well to other treatments. The goal was to see if th…

This study tested a treatment called pulsed radiofrequency for frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) in 32 patients aged 65 and older. The treatment uses ultrasound guidance to deliver gentle electrical pulses to a nerve in the shoulder, aiming to reduce pain and improve movement…

This study looked at whether a special nerve block (IPACK) combined with a steroid injection can reduce pain in people with advanced knee osteoarthritis. 98 patients who had not gotten enough relief from other treatments received the combination. Researchers measured pain levels …

This study tested whether adding scapular stabilization exercises to standard shoulder rehab helps people with subacromial impingement syndrome, a common cause of shoulder pain. Sixty adults were randomly assigned to either the special exercises or a conventional program. Researc…

This study looked at whether adding a specific type of ultrasound to standard physical therapy helps people with knee osteoarthritis feel less pain and stiffness. 46 adults with mild-to-moderate knee arthritis were split into groups to receive one of two ultrasound techniques or …

This study looked at whether having low magnesium levels makes steroid injections for back pain less effective. Researchers observed 118 people with back pain who received the injection. They measured pain and disability before and after treatment to see if magnesium deficiency p…

This study looked at 40 intensive care unit (ICU) patients to see if a simple heart ultrasound before dialysis could predict dangerous drops in blood pressure. Researchers measured heart function using several ultrasound markers. They found that certain measurements might help do…

This study tested whether showing videos of people in different levels of pain helps patients describe their own pain better than the usual 0-to-10 number scale. 240 adults who just had surgery tried both methods and said which they liked more. The goal is to find a clearer, more…

This study looked at 123 women who had a copper IUD inserted for birth control. Researchers measured the angle between the womb and the cervix using ultrasound to see if it could predict whether the IUD would shift out of its correct position. The goal was to find a simple way to…
