POSTOPERATIVE ANALGESIA

This study tested whether adding dexmedetomidine to a standard local anesthetic (bupivacaine) in a nerve block after C-section can improve pain relief. 80 women having planned C-sections took part. The goal was to see if the combination extends pain-free time, reduces recovery ti…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks (EXORA and QLB) to see which provides better pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Eighty adults received one of the two blocks using the numbing medicine bupivacaine. Researchers measured how long until patients needed …

This study compared two types of nerve blocks—recto-intercostal and external oblique intercostal—for pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Sixty adults having elective surgery received one of the two blocks. Researchers measured how much extra painkiller they needed…

This study looked at whether giving ibuprofen and paracetamol before laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery helps control pain afterward. 70 adults participated. Researchers measured pain scores, opioid use, and side effects like nausea during the first 24 hours after surgery.

This study tested two ways to numb pain after hypospadias repair in 30 boys aged 1-8 years. One group got a shot near the tailbone (caudal block), the other near the penis (dorsal penile block). The caudal block worked better for the first few hours and reduced the need for extra…

This study looked at 117 women having planned C-sections to compare two pain relief methods: morphine given during spinal anesthesia and a nerve block (ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane block). Researchers measured pain levels, how long until patients needed extra pain…

This study tested three different nerve blocks to see which provides the best pain relief after total knee replacement. Sixty adults having knee surgery under general anesthesia received one of the blocks. The main goal was to measure how long it took before they needed extra pai…

This study looked at 79 adults having hand or forearm surgery to see if giving dexamethasone or ibuprofen before the numbing shot (axillary block) helps pain last longer. The main goal was to measure how long until patients first felt pain. The study also checked for nausea and v…

This study looked at two different doses of a pain medicine called ketorolac given through a vein after cesarean delivery. The goal was to see which dose provides better pain control when used with other pain relief methods. 125 women who had planned C-sections took part, and the…

This study looked at 60 women having planned cesarean deliveries to compare two pain relief methods: giving morphine through the spinal needle versus a numbing injection near the belly muscles. The main goal was to see how many women needed extra pain medicine in the first 24 hou…

This study tested whether a special nerve block (EXORA) can reduce pain and the need for morphine after umbilical hernia repair. Fifty adults having hernia surgery were included. The main goal was to see if the block lowers total morphine use and delays the first request for pain…

This study tested two different pain-relief methods for children aged 1 to 7 having hernia surgery. One method uses an ultrasound to guide a numbing injection near the belly muscles, while the other is a standard injection near the tailbone. The goal was to see which one keeps ch…

This study tested two different ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to control pain after open kidney surgery. 70 adults were randomly assigned to receive either a subtransverse interligamentary block or a thoracic paravertebral block. The goal was to see which method reduces the need…

This study tested two methods to control pain after a total abdominal hysterectomy: an ultrasound-guided nerve block (TFP block) and a spinal injection of morphine. Sixty women took part to see which approach provides longer-lasting pain relief and reduces the need for extra pain…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks (EOIP block and TAP block) for pain control after open kidney surgery in 40 adults. The goal was to see which block reduces the need for extra pain medicine and improves comfort. Results help doctors choose the best option for postope…

This study tested two different pain-relief injections (nerve blocks) in 60 adults having gallbladder removal surgery. The goal was to see which method better reduces pain after the operation. Patients were randomly assigned to one of the two blocks, and their pain levels were me…

This study tested two different ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to control pain after video-assisted chest surgery. 70 adults were randomly assigned to receive either an edge of laminar block or an erector spinae plane block. The goal was to see which block reduces the need for mo…

This study tested two different ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to control pain in 40 children after open kidney surgery. The goal was to see which block delayed the need for extra morphine and reduced overall pain medicine use. Results help doctors choose the best pain control me…

This study tested two different nerve block techniques to see which provides better pain relief after septorhinoplasty (nose surgery). 93 adults aged 18-65 were randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocks. Researchers measured pain scores, agitation, and side effects to fi…

This study looked at 60 adults having heart bypass surgery to compare two types of chest wall nerve blocks for pain control. One group got a combination of two blocks, the other got a different pair. Researchers measured pain scores and how much extra pain medicine patients neede…
