Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of Topical Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs Around the Incision on Postoperative Pain in Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion Surgery: A Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial.
How to minimize postoperative pain following spinal surgery has been a great challenge. We hypothesized that topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) around the incision could relieve postoperative pain following transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) surgery. ⋯ Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, postoperative pain, NSAID, topical NSAID, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, loxoprofen.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Bilateral Greater Occipital Nerve Block; Distal Versus Proximal Approach for Postdural Puncture Headache: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
One of the common neuraxial anesthesia complications is postdural puncture headache (PDPH). Greater occipital nerve block (GONB) is a simple and safe maneuver with a faster onset than other treatment modalities. ⋯ Postdural puncture headache, distal, proximal, greater occipital nerve, block, ultrasound, pain-relieving, neuraxial anesthesia.
