Randomized Controlled Trial
A randomized, placebo-controlled study of pregabalin for postoperative pain intensity after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
To determine the efficacy of two different doses (150 mg and 300 mg) of preoperative pregabalin on pain relief and total opioid consumption after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. ⋯ Preoperative pregabalin may be a useful analgesic for patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, as it lowers pain intensity and opiod consumption, and does not increase the frequency of side effects.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparing vertical and coracoid approaches for infraclavicular block in orthopedic surgery of the forearm and hand.
To determine if there is a difference between the vertical and coracoid approaches to the infraclavicular block. ⋯ The coracoid approach is convenient to perform with extensive block, and is thus an appropriate alternative to the vertical approach in infraclavicular block.
