REGIONAL ANAESTHESIA

This study looked at 113 adults who had major lung surgery to see which pain-block method works best. Researchers compared a newer block (erector spinae plane block) with two older methods. They measured pain levels and how much extra morphine patients needed after surgery.

This study tested two ways to manage pain after total hip replacement: a newer nerve block called QLESP versus the standard numbing injection around the joint. 68 adults were enrolled to see which method reduced the need for opioid painkillers in the first 24 hours after surgery.…

This study tested two methods of giving a TAP block—a pain-numbing injection for the belly wall—after abdominal surgery. One method used ultrasound guidance by an anesthesiologist, the other used surgical landmarks during laparoscopy. 64 adults having laparoscopic colorectal, gal…

This study tested two types of nerve blocks to reduce pain when positioning patients with broken hips for spinal anesthesia. 42 adults were randomly assigned to receive either a PENG block or a QLB block. Researchers measured pain levels, how easy it was to position patients, and…

This study looked at 60 adults having single-level lower back disc surgery. It compared a newer ultrasound-guided nerve block (Quadro-Iliac Plane Block) with the standard method of injecting pain medicine into the wound. Researchers measured pain scores, opioid use, and side effe…

This study looked at 318 adults having leg surgery to find out what affects the success of unilateral spinal anesthesia—a technique that numbs only the surgical side to reduce side effects like low blood pressure. Researchers examined factors like age, weight, and how the anesthe…

This study looked at how well standard pain treatments work for children aged 0-18 after elective surgery. Researchers measured pain levels using special scales for different ages during the first hour after surgery. The goal was to see if current methods keep pain under control,…

This study looked at 40 adults having a minimally invasive procedure for varicose veins (radiofrequency ablation). Researchers compared two types of regional anesthesia—spinal anesthesia and a nerve block—to see which one led to a better recovery in the first 24 hours. The goal w…
