This study tested a new type of nerve block called PENG for people having hip replacement surgery. The goal was to see if it reduces pain and the need for strong painkillers (opioids) after surgery. 60 adults took part, and the study compared the PENG block to standard care.

This study tested two methods of giving a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) to manage pain after lumbar spinal fusion surgery. 52 adults received either an ultrasound-guided or a surgeon-placed block using a mix of numbing medicine and dexmedetomidine. The goal was to see …

This study tested two types of nerve blocks to control pain after chest surgery (thoracotomy) in 180 adults. One method is a standard paravertebral block, and the other is a newer, potentially safer mid-point block. The goal was to see if the newer block provides similar pain rel…

This study tested two different numbing injections (caudal block and quadratus lumborum plane block) to see which one controls pain better after lower back surgery. 111 adults having spine surgery took part. The goal was to find a safer way to manage pain and reduce the need for …

This study tested three different nerve blocks to see which one works best for pain after shoulder surgery. Forty adults having shoulder surgery received one of the blocks, and their pain was measured using a simple 0-to-100 scale. The goal was to find a block that controls pain …

This study looked at whether giving extra oxygen through a small tube in the nose during anesthesia can prevent dangerously low oxygen levels in children having their tonsils and adenoids removed. The researchers measured oxygen levels in 140 children aged 3 to 10 years. The goal…
