PERIPHERAL NERVE BLOCK

This study tested two different nerve blocks to see which one controls pain better after breast removal surgery. Sixty adults having a mastectomy received either a serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block or a thoracic paravertebral block. Researchers measured pain sco…

This study looked at 50 adults having shoulder arthroscopy to see if regional anesthesia (keeping you awake but numb) works better than general anesthesia (being fully asleep). The goal was to compare pain after surgery, patient comfort, and surgeon satisfaction. Results could he…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks (PENG and IPB) to see which one provides better pain relief and preserves leg movement after hip surgery. Sixty adults having hip replacement took part. Researchers measured pain scores and muscle strength over 24 hours to find the be…

This study looked at two different nerve block methods to control pain after shoulder surgery. 90 adults were randomly assigned to one of two nerve blocks or a control group. The goal was to see which method provides better pain relief and reduces the need for strong painkillers …

This study looked at 80 adults having leg surgery to see if a simple, non-invasive measure called the perfusion index (PI) can quickly tell if a nerve block is working. Currently, doctors rely on patients to say when they lose feeling, which can be slow and subjective. The resear…

This study followed 294 knee replacement patients to see how often they experienced a sudden, severe pain when their nerve block wore off. Researchers found that many patients reported high pain levels within 12-24 hours after surgery. The goal was to better understand this 'rebo…
