This study looked at 87 adults with a spine condition called isthmic spondylolisthesis, where one vertebra slips forward. They all had a two-part surgery to fuse the bones together. The results showed the surgery is safe and helps restore normal spine shape and nerve space.

This study tested two ways to numb the shoulder for pain relief after arthroscopic surgery. The standard method can sometimes weaken the diaphragm, making breathing harder. The new method combines two different nerve blocks to try to avoid that problem. 50 adults having shoulder …

This study tested whether a special conversation guide, built into electronic health records, could help over 81,000 adults use non-drug methods (like ice, heat, or relaxation) to control pain after surgery. The goal was to see if this approach improved pain, physical function, a…

This study looked at whether taking a laxative (polyethylene glycol 3350) before surgery, in addition to after surgery, reduces discomfort with bowel movements compared to taking it only after surgery. It involved 74 women undergoing minimally invasive surgery for pelvic organ pr…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks (TFP block and QL block) to control pain after lower belly surgery in children aged 3 to 7. The goal was to see which block reduces pain and the need for extra painkillers. 66 children took part, and researchers measured pain scores a…

This study looked at two ways to manage pain after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The standard nerve block can sometimes cause temporary diaphragm paralysis, making breathing harder. The new block targets different nerves and may avoid that problem. Researchers tested it in 60 ad…

This study looked at how well surgical teams and patients adopt non-drug methods for managing pain after surgery, like relaxation or physical therapy. Researchers interviewed 372 patients and care team members to find out what helps or hinders the use of these approaches. The goa…

This study tested a device that automatically gives a pain medicine (remifentanil) during surgery based on the patient's heart rate, blood pressure, and a pain index. 52 adults having burn surgery took part. The goal was to see if the device could lower the total amount of pain m…
